February 18th, 2010 · No Comments · dorney park, videos
Krazy Kars, spelled with ‘K’s’ to konfuse kids and make perfektionists squirm, was a ride at Dorney Park in Allentown, PA. I say was because in 2010 its spot will be taken up by Dorney’s new-old ride, Demon Drop. Krazy Kars was pretty much a bumper car ride only …

Video: Fireball
October 4th, 2009 · No Comments · videos
The KMG Fireball (aka Afterburner if you’re in Europe) and its variants seem to be very popular rides nowadays. I remember when I first saw Fireball back in the late 90s or so at the State Fair Meadowlands; it went under the name Cyclops and I thought it was just …

September 23rd, 2009 · No Comments · videos
With one look at Morey’s Piers’ Sea Serpent, you might quickly identify it as a Vekoma manufactured Boomerang. While this is indeed a common Boomerang model, much like the 40+ others around the world, this one is a bit more notable as it was the first Boomerang in the United …
