hello wonderful world of YouTube it's Alex and today I am going to Philadelphia I'm going to Dorney Park Hershey Park and then back home so it's actually not today those two are tomorrow and um Saturday but I'm leaving now it's about 1:10 I'm going to fill up and then I'm going to drive to Philadelphia I just got a few things from where I work for a snack the drive so yeah next stop filling then all the way to Philadelphia yeah I'm making a stop every 2 hours so
I'm going to update every two hours of where I'm at so we will see everyone later all right everyone I have stopped at the Oak Oakmont Plum service center it's been actually just a little little over two hours by like a few minutes so yeah taking a break probably 10 15 minutes it's been long two hours so yeah I will see everyone maybe inside I might get some auntie ann's and then get back on the road so I went inside I got me some auntie ann's cuz I like their
pretzels they're pretty good and after this I'm going to go fill up I mean I have 3/4 of a tank but like there's no fuel to next rest stop so they'll be safe I'm sorry so far so good um I mean I'm making progress probably to get there around um at this rate like like 815 820 which is fine I just trying a little harder to get there later so it's whatever yeah I'll see everyone um in a little bit all right everyone it has been 2 hours and I am now in where's the name of the plaza I just saw it
it's like sidling Hill or something it's current 5:48 I'm taking another like 20 minute break because uh I'm trying to intentionally delay my arrival time Ryan didn't want me showing up till 10:00 and I can make that happen I just need to slow down and the problem is Interstate has been pretty empty so yeah I might grab a snack kindest while I'm here we'll take a look but soon I will be back on the road and after using the bathroom before I go and then yeah so I will see everyone
whenever the next time I stop is we're almost to Philadelphia all right y'all so I'm stopped again like an hour later got me some Roy Rogers I've never heard of them until today apparently they like compet with Wendy's and like Arby's bag in the day um I don't know why they gave me a kids bag but it's pretty cool um I just ordered the rast beef sandwich and just a roast beef sandwich see what it looks like I paid uh like nine bucks for this so um going to give my review
on Roy Rogers pretty good I should have U got some of the ketchup or barbecue sauce on it but um too late now it's pretty good though I would um I'd give it a um R 8 out of 10 i e it again so I made it to New Jersey we got Ryan again the wonderful world of YouTube yes so bit of an update so you know I'm driving you know after dinner I get you know New Jersey no problem or um driving down i76 and then it takes me off 76 and puts me on I95 I hate I95 and then I got lost
a little bit uh and then I got here uh surprisingly pretty fast but it was just very stressful so yeah uh next stop is going where we're staying so yay so right now you know we're at we're at Ryan's house also known as dry eye and he I'm in the room where he built like a lot of where's the best angle a lot of his coasters were built in this room you can't even tell cuz all tell and I might have to splice in some clips that you'll send me or pictures you'll send me but you you really can't tell
now but this used to be where The Coasters were built which is pretty cool but that is something for sure so here we are at Olga's Diner for breakfast before Dorney Park you know with Ryan and we just ordered actually I'm getting waffles and bacon he's getting a lot more than me that's fine it's a nice cozy little place but yeah after this uh next stop is Dorney Park so let's go so here we are with Ryan we are at Dorney Park and there is iron Menace and that's Superman and we
are going to go ride those now woo I haven't been here in 8 years I am very excited Al I'm a little scared it's I haven't seen anything go yet and it's wondering if it's cuz the park not open yet cuz it doesn't open for another like 15 minutes or if it's because it's raining we will find out when we get there so we're currently in line to get in the park it just opens you know I've got my um my pass Ryan has a ticket after this we're going to get our Fast Lanes and then we're going to go
straight to iron Menace we're walking with Ryan there's iron Menace it's 160 something feet tall if I recall correctly and then here's Superman it's actually called possessed but don't worry about it ah got water in my it's raining pretty heavy actually I is uh possessed open it is we're going to ride that after or we should ride it right now and be first train of the day you want to get first train of the day let's get first train of the day we just got off possessed uh it was awesome uh holding
brake does not work shame but I rode Superman that's my 183rd credit and I got to ride it we're going to do that again honestly that was really fun I liked it I'm going to do that again but this time we do it in the back row so yeah next stop uh iron Menace so we did Iron Menace it was really good what did you think right of iron Menace uh it kind of hurt cuz a lot of rain in my face I just got to get another ride on it I liked it a lot it was great I got the middle seat on the front row
but and if anyone's asking the jolt is real but it's not bad the jolt is not bad it is noticeable though so yeah we're going to go do this again woohoo so Ryan explain to us what just happened we were in the back row yeah we went up then we went back and then dead stopped right there yeah we were stopped we were in row4 we are about right where this lamp post is that's where the train was stopped um according to an operator we uh a rain hit the sensor there a sensor
that runs along the bottom and it basically prevents anything or anyone from entering an area they shouldn't and don't tell me I'm wrong I'm right and when the rain hit the sensor it um it shuts the ride down if anything hits that sensor rain tripped it ride shut down we got we had to get Toad back in from the magnets it's whatever I think we're going to do steel Force next um honestly I'm not too mad I mean that's pretty cool got like an Evac cred which is pretty sweet it's
funny though cuz we thought we broke the ride um cuz we were doing like a Superman pose kind of like what Ryan's doing uh we thought we broke it no turns out it was just rain so next stop steel Force currently at steel force of Ryan you can see it right there pretty cool uh if you hold the camera further from your face we can both be in it but I don't like holding it this far out you do always hold it like this is yes and it's because my arm gets tired anyways but no we got
iron or not iron R steel Forest there too many metal name rides in this park station's really nice they got air Gates recently which looks good so yeah first time riding a Morgan coaster in like a million years so wish me luck so I rode in the front row to of my hair cuz it's all wet but it's like a mist and a felt like oh it was painful I couldn't actually see for half the ride cuz my eyes were closed it was very fun my lap bar had like a solid like 6 Ines of room so that was pretty sweet I
don't even know how they let that happen but they did and it was great all right we just rode I don't know if you can see it over there Thunderhawk and it was really fun uh we rode it it's 100 years old this year and it was pretty fun you do need to write defensively though cuz it does it does have a bit of a jackhammer on the one spot but steel force is testing now uh because we wanted to go ride it again and it broke so good job me I think next we're going to ride Dominator
and maybe demon drop if it opens but it's just raining so muchly if I can just get my last few rides and I want to ride get some reides I might leave early cuz I am getting really annoyed with this rain we yeah we'll uh catch you guys in a little bit we just had lunch with Ryan and now we are riding the first B&M Flo or second B&M floorless I wrode first true floorless Hydra I've not ridden this thing in eight years and all I remember from the ride is the JoJo roll um which
honestly I'll probably get some shots at that running because it was really cool but otherwise in all seriousness I have not ridden this thing since it since I was last year eight years ago Alex do you know the difference sh a barrel roll and a JoJo roll JoJo rolls Ur before the lift Hill that's right lifto launch so toop strike I was just thinking that c strike yeah so we rode Hydra hydra's really good I like it a lot uh my opinion it is really wonky but it's really fun so that's all that matters um I
think it's a pretty good ride I we might get a rig ride later I'm not sure really all right here we are Jen Jen this is for you Talon at Dorney Park I'm very excited to ride Talon at Dorney Park eight years in the making for me to ride this again very very excited so yes Jen this ride this this Talon ride's for you so we just did Talon we're doing it again Talon's awesome uh we back row
unfortunately there's no ride camera on this anymore which makes me really upset cuz the whole reason I wrote it was just for the ride photo I like Jen look that's not happening today every time that the train would flip since it's raining all the water would fly off the train and land all on me yeah it was kind of a problem now it was awesome best water ride in the park all right next up a ride on Talon because Jen you deserve it you this is this one's for you Jen so just
about like 10 minutes ago now got off Hydra a second time we got front row really nice except for the part Ryan where we got stuck on the brake run quite a bit yeah and the problem with Hydra we were stuck on possessed that's one thing because possessed is covered Hydra is not we are soaked so we were sitting there swinging our legs going mil Bott of milk we made it all the way to 7 so plan now is we're going to reide Steel force and then one more ride on iron
Menace maybe maybe possess at the line short fast we have fast pass but um and then that's probably going to be it honestly um because I am soaked and I'm miserable I hate to say it but Dorney Park Great Park Park experience is fine it's not the park that's making me miserable it's this rain and then I'm soaked that's it if there if there was no rain I would be having a great day it would be one of my best days ever at a theme park but I'm just miserable so because of the rain
and it's not Dorney Park's fault so Dorney Park if you're watching this not your fault oh dear there's water on my yeah so Dorney Park not your fault I'm miserable it's this rain this God forsaken rain anyways here's steill Force so let's go ride it so did a second ride in steel uh steel Force there and it was really fun we got back row you were looking backwards the entire time it's it's it's in the photo which was really funny and I was looking forward for the most part
unfortunately this rain it just hurts like hell on which do you want to end the day with Superman or iron Manis ooh Superman okay uh let's go do our ride photos and then we can go get our our our ride one more ride on iron Menace one more ride on Superman and then we're going to be done for today cuz it's just cold and miserable it's not the Park's fault but I am cold so yeah I would like to introduce you to some of the best theme parks evening on the planet may I
introduce you to the pile of bricks and the magma which is kind of cool but honestly I'm a sucker for bricks anytime I see something like this at a theme part I'm just like the engineers went above and beyond to really immerse me you know there's bricks in front of the sign as well camera's not working you're not going to see it maybe we'll see you in a second I guess see all the water fling off the track yeah we're back in Superman station we are attempting the
Redemption Arc we will leave this ride the tar with two and a half rides on this thing yeah which will be pretty sweet because you know we only got half ride on it last time but we are waiting and then um yeah after this we're going to try to get our ride foot from Iron Menace this morning cuz it didn't save and then we're going to try to head out so Dorney Park day is pretty much over after this ride so uh hope to go back and warm up all right so update we we left Dorney Park
and now we are roller skating do that roller skting right now Ryan is about to do the limbo so I'm excited to see goes so when he gets up there I will show you but yeah Ring's pretty cool I like it more than the oneg [Music] so [Music] that yeah Ryan here it goes again second time yeah Ryan here he goes again attemp number three and there he goes successful W Ryan all right he's about to go again it's even lower this time bro is successful yeah Ryan all right Ryan's
about to go with the ultra low a Ryan Ryan's going again and oh Ryan that was all right K on this brilant let's go so that wraps about up for uh today Ryan's already in bed I'm about to shower and I will see everyone tomorrow on the way to Hershey Park so I mean Rose K was not say that so good morning everybody Ryan and I here today are at hershy Park can't you can't really see anything yet we'll get there in a little bit I'll show it off but you know we were at Dorney it was
raining today it's kind of Cloudy at the moment but I think it's supposed to clear up soon and we're going to try to ride some rides there are 14 coasters here if I ride all 14 that'll Place me at 198 coasters so let's hope I can get all of them um and I think the first one we're going to is wild cats for some reason which is really annoying I want to go likes it but I want to go do storm runner cuz I want a hydraulic launch rmc's are like like kind of the same hydraulic launch I don't
get that anymore so yeah we will not get over to the uh entrance here we are at chocolate Town looks pretty nice it's pretty new right Ryan it's like what very new 5 years old I think now I think it was like I know konium open 2020 didn't that open with pandemonium it so yeah four years I lied but it's pretty new it's time to go into the park avity and it's going to be a fun day I hope so yeah here I am at Hershey Park we just got through the gate like just through the gate and I will
say I am impressed with this front gate it's really nice I know it's really new wasn't it at somewhere else in the Park yeah you're going to see where the entrance used to be and it's beyond all these brick buildings all right well it looks really nice candemonium looks pretty cool hope to try that today but it's looking really nice I like it so currently we're in line for laugh track the building here is very weird I do not like it um I do hope is that the Lo station just over there
yeah it is okay oh okay we got a few switch backs so nothing crazy Ryan go in front of the mirror no no want this this is one of the weaker mirrors oh this one one of the [Music] weird M fun and so we got off and it was pretty good I liked it um I've got some thoughts I think laugh track is a spinning coaster done right you get on like Cedar Point spinning wild mouse or um exterminator at Kings they end right as they're about to get good this gets good decently quick and then it
keeps getting better and like this the glow-in-the-dark stuff in there I really like it yeah it's pretty good um it's all right it's a it's a spinning coaster so we rode wildcast Revenge there it is what a good shot it's a pretty good ride I want to do it again later but right now I'm kind of hungry so let's get some food and hit us some other rides we waited like 15 minutes for this so as long as we um as long as I had everything else first i i o someone had a not so fun day there for all very
fun ride very very good ride I enjoyed it and I think next up lunch and then storm Runner I think I don't know whatever's nearby storm Runner so we we had lunch we just got off Fahrenheit it's pretty good uh I like it a lot we're going to stormrunner now and we'll uh go see how that is but yeah very hype pretty good ride so we got off stormrunner and I haven't had that that kick man so fun so fun all right I got to get the ride photo but next up is this thing doly Rancher so yeah
just rode Jolly Rancher pretty fun it's it's fun I like the best restraints I like the the theming it's fun um yeah next up we're going to do whatever their their Z nebula's called and ride that cuz it looks fun so what you think Ryan I like it it's fine all right all right so we um we were just on mix which is there P nebula and we had to get evaced off it broke down we got 0.1 rides we got 0.1 cuz we got we did like two rotations on it anyways we got this one uh time use Fast Track which
is a bit of an inconvenience cuz we already have Fast Track so I think we said we were going to just give it to someone at some point yeah it would be a good idea um but yeah this is my this could also be my souvenir of the trip I'm so excited for Sky rush I I love those restraints the velocci coaster restraints and Sky rush I love it in spite of its I love it despite its restraints now it's going to have good restraints or I think I'm really excited I already really like it and it's going
to be great so we just rot Sky rush and it was pretty good uh pretty good that's what you're giving it I need a rde like it's intense it's fun I don't know I have a bit of a headache now I don't know if it's of the track or what so maybe I need get some more water in my system but it's good I mean I would I'll do it again and right now we're in line for the the the not that super duper looper and then a rde on Sky rush so that will be very fun to see so we rode super duper looper
it was pretty fun um I would give it some pretty good price it's smooth it only got the one Loop but it's smooth we're in line for Sky Rush again because we're cool and then after Sky Rush great Baron Trailblazer So currently at 191 coasters ridden we are nearing 200 all goes to plan I should actually get 200 in Spain so it's looking like that's going to happen any I will see everyone after we ride Sky Rush a second time so we Rod Sky Rush again and it's all right um
it it's definitely something it's like a mini i305 but with worse restraints my opinion restraints are new ones are good but I don't know it's just really rattly that's what I notic I got a bit of a headache from that but whatever next up we're going to do Comet then Great Bear and Trailblazer so we are making some good progress today we're waiting in line for Comet front row and there's baby ye look at the mama goose in her baby well life Pro tip don't get anywhere
near a goose they will they will mess you up and they will not relent look at the baby update we did not ride Comet because it broke I blame Ryan for this one I blame Alex for it no I blame you bro we should start insulting each other uh no no anyways we're going to go do great fair and Trailblazer now um that should be fun and then after that we got to do lightning racer and wild mouse we should be on separate trains for lightning racer good idea act that we almost done
wild cats revenge over and over again nah we do storm Runner we part ways no cuz I will leave you behind on on accident cuz I forget I drove you here and I'll be like halfway back to Ohio and Sun bar for dinner yeah we're going to the Horizon Sun bar for dinner hope they have live music tonight yeah I hope they too so yeah all right next stop uh Great Bear so we just got off Great Bear and it was pretty good um only complaint is the ending really anomatic I don't know if you
can see but it kind of just like does like a weird like Meandering for a while it's really boring but the rest of the is really fun like it do a helix before it first drop for some reason uh I don't know where I'd rank it in terms of my inverts it's not my new favorite but it's good I about you R what do you think I like went limp during it and just relax and then I woke up during the ulman and then my eyes widen for the like zero g Ru yeah let's go get some water I'm getting a headache
cuz I haven't had any water today I haven't had any water yeah let's go get some water so we just Rod trra there a few minutes ago and got to say legit I feel like I could touch the ground on that thing if I really wanted to and that's kind of scary um I don't know I I I there's a few times on some of these rides where they get really close not just here at Hershey Park but at Dorney yesterday too I don't know if you noticed that Ryan yeah um just rode Trailblazer and there were
a few times that I could almost touch the ground which is kind of crazy especially considering that's not the only ride that goes like that like there were a few like that at Dorney yesterday that's what I was saying so like it just feels weird that I don't know it might just be a Pennsylvania thing yeah but it just feels weird I don't know it might be a Pennsylvania thing yeah that's what I'm thinking any I think we're going to go do lightning racer wild mouse and
then I want to do Fahrenheit and and um wild cats again yeah I think we might do wild race lightning racer wild mouse and then I might want to do fahit again cool cool so yep that's that's going to be it for a moment so we rode wild mouse uh uh Hershey Park wild mouse pretty fun they're running four uh trains or four cars so it was like sailing through the layout that was pretty cool Ryan what are your thoughts on it um we didn't get any trim brakes until like 23 through the
ride yeah it was great all right so that was pretty fun um unfortunately there's some rain looking like it's going to come in so I think we're going to scrap riding this twice and try to get re-ride on Wildcat reide Fahrenheit and then the last few rides I need so game but better than missing out on a few credits so we'll uh try to get this thing done yeah uh but it was a good ride though actually pretty smooth I was expecting a lot worse I didn't think it was smooth I I've been on
worst gcis than so let's get the photo so we just got off wild cats Revenge at least second time and I will say I don't know why I'm going this way we have to go around but I will say second ride it's definitely a lot better than my first one I don't know why I was in the backround because maybe it wasn't warmed up but I do not like the ending I do not like the going into the brakes the laterals just hurt um and I don't like it I I could change it I would tell them to drop that banket or
something put a trim I don't know it just it's too fast into the brakes and it hurts so yeah I think it's gnarly so we just got off Comet and my thoughts it's got some nice charm it's it it's fun it's it definitely was designed for what's it called Buzz bar bars but it's a fun layout I I I think it's actually really good and I think only think I could use maybe a slight retrack but good ride in my book R um while we were on that ride we took a turn and then Alex said what this is still going
um I thought that was a testament to how well it used it speed and we got really good luck as we were going down its drop Sky Rush also went down and stopped at the same time and then we crossed past the sky rush train again yeah that was actually pretty cool so cool door let's go see if we can get our photo from here so so we wrote candemonium we did it's pretty good back row I like it I enjoyed it um would I say is the best BM hyper a lot of people online had said that I
don't know this guy like steel Force better than both hypers here I'm sorry it's got a nice Helix it's smooth both hypers here beat anything in dney park I would strongly disagree Mr Ryan but that's personal opinions okay we fight in the public place like there's two kids in the station oh that was funny yeah when we were waiting there was these two kids just fighting like I knew they were like siblings so it wasn't like a violent thing it was just really funny cuz I got yelled at all
right I think the plan is we're going to do Fahrenheit one more time he's going to do wild cats one more time while you get your gift shoing it's right there we we can get that on the way out okay well you also want to gr the photo we do it yeah um then ticking away yeah it's we're pretty much almost done here with Hershey Park My overall thoughts all this park I have been very easy to get lost in I feel like but that's just my personal opinion the coaster lineup is very good
I've written every coaster except for Coco Cruiser and I don't think we're getting out of that today and it's a good day I do want to make a return to this park if I could do another return I would do at least two days so yeah overall really great day so updates we are in line for Cocoa Cruiser we actually gave out our fast pass we gave it to this group of school kids we're like hey do you guys want it and they said sure So we gave it to them it wasn't Mr Beast moment now we're in
line for cooker Cruiser cuz the line's pretty short I say it's maybe 15 20 minute away I can't tell how many people are actually on the platform now yeah I guess we'll wait and see CH we just rode Coco Cruiser and Coco Cruiser was pretty pretty forceful actually not lie was more than I expected it to's still running still running you see a train go yeah okay with people in it we're going to do Fahrenheit then he's going to do wild cat I'm going to go do photos and a plush
that's that we're going to get some dinden pretty fun day take like 10 minutes to walk back to the car it's going to take like 20 take at least 20 minutes you at the front of the car yeah so you'll cover to the ground yeah but it's going to be a long walk but it's been a pretty good day overall I would say uh it's good day I I actually n out of 10 n out of 10 oh than this rain is starting to come which why I'm getting a little nervous but he'll be fine we'll be fine yesterday was like a 6 out of
10 today 9 out of 10 I would say 7 out of 10 for yesterday I rode everything I wanted to ride what's today except 9 out of 10 for sure all right we're going to go do Fahrenheit all right so I Rod Fahrenheit a second time pretty fun I like it it's definitely an intimate made a gers though nothing wrong with that going to head over get our photo from Comet earlier get something a souvenir then we're going to head out there's some rain coming in it's going to be at least a 20
minute walk back to the car I'm having a good day I had a great day actually not a good day great day I got to ride everything up every coaster in the park in one day and that has been a blessing cuz I was getting worried that I wouldn't be able to do all the coasters in the park at 198 coasters which is insane now tomorrow if the weather's looking nice I might stop the canob make it 199 but otherwise we're going to keep it at 98 yep pretty nice day next stop the photo
boo Brian do you want to tell us where we are for dinner we at the Rising Sun Bar and Grill um it's quite a place it's a quite cozy little place they got like two buildings so that's like a second building over there where like they check you in and everything and they got an outdoor area and then a second building which is pretty cool Cozy's the perfect word for it yeah it's got nice brick and everything and I am very excited for dinner then after this we are heading back to
Cleveland so not Cleveland uh not Cleveland New Jersey tomorrow's Cleveland maybe we actually may get some ice cream after this so I would love to get stimulating the local economy so Ryan how many rides did we get to uh the last two days 32 rides total um my favorite probably being our first ride on wild cats Revenge my least favorite probably being that first steel Force ride in the rain I would agree than so my personal favorite ride I think was probably our
Evac cred on um possessed you are so weird I'm sorry I have never had an Evac cred before and then least favorite ride I don't know I think honestly it have to be first deal for some rain so that's that that was such a bad enjoyable it was unenjoyable so this kind of wraps up our trip Ryan's here with me we're about to I'm about to head back to Cleveland so I think this kind of concludes our trip cuz there's nothing cool to talk about driving home driving here was cool to
talk about driving home is driving home yeah it's not much just go so it was nice to seeing you Ryan happy Mother's Day to everyone CU this is Mother's Day today yeah and thanks for having me over Ryan nice seeing you and it's nice seeing you too it's just now I got to go home I got work I got work tomorrow so I'll see you later Ryan see
