    That purple and blue color scheme on Kingdom Coaster really does make it look special. Amazing views from the sky ride.

    This is the park I got over my fear of coasters at. I really hope I can revisit it as an enthusiast at some point and see how the coasters hold up now.

    Merlin’s Mayhem, my 95th credit!
    Wish S&S had built some more and maybe evolved the model.
    This is way better taken care of than my home park Idlewild, another children’s park also owned by Parques Reunidos.
    Also good thing you rode Joust in the front. Getting a back row ride was…less than pleasant…

    I'm a PA native, Knoebels being my hometown park. I've only been to Dutch Wonderland once, when I was maybe 8? Anyway, I remember going, but nothing stuck out as fantastic. I'm so used to going to Knoebels that I tend to base all family parks on there. Soooo... not very impressive to me. But, could be a great park to ease your kiddos into coasters.

    S&S and Vekoma are owned by the same company, even back then I think, so it simply could've been a similar case to Steel Curtain where they went to Vekoma but Vekoma was busy or Sansei stepped in to block it so they were stuck with S&S

    This review video was really nice. The two, star coasters were looking great. I legit wanted to go and ride it asap. I am a huge fan of this old show on TLC Channel called Amish Mafia which took place in this city. This video just upped Lancaster on my list of cities to visit in the US.
    Lancaster went from #49 to #37, in between San Francisco and Oakland (yeah, I know they are connected, but I kinda feel that one of them two is fine enough) lol
    Fun Vid. Looks like yall had fun 🥰

    Hey Mark! This is completely off-topic, but I'm visiting Great Adventure for the first time ever next week. Do you have any tips from a pro to a noob?
    I'm glad your trip is going so amazing!

    • @CoasterDash
      @CoasterDash  10 місяців тому +1

      Hey there! I’m not good with tips, but i’ll state the basics. If you want to ride Superman and Green Lantern, do those right away. they always have long waits, even on quieter days. If you see Kingda Ka running, ride it as soon as possible. El Toro is a back row ride, but ride in the middle of the back car on a non-wheel seat for a smoother experience. If you need a locker (this park is very strict with lose articles), buy the multi-use locker. you’ll end up saving a lot of money. Have fun!

      It’s in an area where people named the Pennsylvania Dutch live. These are actually Pennsylvania Deutsch because they are German immigrants but the name got more Americanized over time. Some of these Pennsylvania Dutch are Amish which explains the horse buggy. Hope this clears things up even though I’m late to your comment.
