Vertigo, I'm not that big of a woodie fan so I would go to Dorney. Don't get me wrong cause I plan on going to Hersey very soon (My friend says Great Bear is better that Nitro and Medusa but I don't know about that). I have had major plans on taking a ride on Talon, Dominator, Hercules and Steel Force. Plus my cousins still think Steel Force is taller than Nitro????(I show them the facts but they can't get it!) Thanks for the suggestion though!

Talon looks and sounds like it should be very intense, but it is not! This is probably how Cedar Fair intended it to be, hence the inclusion of a trim brake before the Immelman.
And the award for most overrated Steel Coaster goes to - Steel Force. The ride is baron as far as airtime is concerned, and it is certainly the most boring hyper coaster I have ridden to date. Looking at the ride you would expect it to be an airtime machine, but the brake run before the bunny hills completely kills any chance of air.
When the best part of the ride is between the station and the lift hill you know something is wrong with Hercules. Apparently this ride used to rock for the first few seasons but now the only thing that "rocks" is your head side to side!Hercules used to be one of the tallest coasters in the world with a big first drop taking riders into a 55-degree banked turnaround over Lake Dorney. While this drop and turnaround may look spectacular, it is one of the most vicious moments I have ever experienced on a coaster - you can actually feel your brain being bashed around inside your skull! I am presuming the two trim brakes on the first drop were added to reduce this ferocity, but all it has done is spoil what could have been a great first drop. The entire ride is extremely dull and uneventful. I heard several people say the ride "sucked" as they were leaving the station, and I'm inclined to agree!
Dorney Park is severely lacking any traditional atmosphere that most other Pennsylvanian parks exhibit (for example, Kennywood, Knoebels, Hershey).I don't know what the park was like before Cedar Fair took it over, but I think I'm safe to assume they were responsible for all the trim brakes and the seatbelts. Many people seem to enjoy Dorney Park, but in comparison to the many other parks I have visited, to me it seemed merely average. It has a good selection of rides, but in my opinion none of them are world beaters, and you can find equal or better at many other parks with far better atmospheres.

I am asking to go to Cedar Point for my birthday(but it probably wont happen, it never does:)) I think we would go for a full friday, saturday, and sunday morning. For you, the only park that I have been to that you mentioned is BGW and I totally recomend it. It is one of my favorite theme parks(probably my favorite is IOA), and the rides are great. Alpengeist is my favorite invert and in my opinion superior to Montu. I know that if you go to BGW you will love it.
I haven't been to any of the Pennsylvania parks but when I do, I plan to go to the four major ones in one trip. But then again that will never happen for me. If I were you though, I would do all the Pennsylvania parks at the same time.

Nitro, trust me and go to BGW. Your parents will like the adult atmosphere, and you'll like the coasters. Colonial Williamsburg is right next door also, if you need to compromise with your parents like I did when I was your age. You can also suggest that you'll be passing SFA (4 miles off 95) and PKD (a mile off 95) on the way to BGW.

The word "definitely" is definitely the most misspelled word on the buzz.
