You build it, I'll ride it

They are going to have a web cam like Cedar Point did for the construction of Millenium Force. Not sure when it will be up but you'll be able to check the progress every day on their web site.

Thank you for riding America's Roller Coast

Coasterpunk will e-mail the layout (illustration) to you. There's a thread called "Talon Layout Here" that was posted here a month or two ago. Just go back few pages and reply. The layout looks great...money well spent!

Thanks ya'll!

The employee parking lot is behind Steel Force......however there is future expanision near SF.

Cedar Fair is #1

I'm glad they didn't put it by SF. SF would dwarf the new ride. I'm sure Dorney doesn't want to put in hidden psychological implications that this is a tamer ride then Steel Force.

Here's the latest I found out about Talon. Aycock Inc. is erecting it. They are based out of Hummelstown, PA (right outside Hershey). It should be starting in a few weeks. I'll keep posted with more info as soon as I hear anything else.

There is room in the 'marsh' area of the park. There used to be a zoo there and swan boats like 20 years ago. There is also room behind the lazer in the former Chester Cheetah's play land. Does anyone else notice the bathroom sitting alone by Steel Force?? Watch that area to grow as well.....

Long Live Cedar Fair :)

I wounder how many coaster can fit back there?

Somewhere a lil' while back I read that Dorney has 30 acres of their 200 acres left to be developed. So I would say they could fit 3 or 4 nice size coasters into the park, if not more! It's something nice to think about!

Whoever said that Talon does not upstage Great Bera is wrong! That thing looks soo much better, more intense and, crazy! I live 5 min. away from Dorney and I cant waitt til may.

AMEN to WILDCAT. Great Bear and Talon may have the same basic layout, but Great Bear is spread out with a bunch of spread turns and stuff, Talon looks extremely tight just like Batman.
