With the Pennsylvania leg of our big East Coast trip done, it was time to head from Cleveland to New Hampshire. On our layover in Philadelphia, we got to deplane outside!
Then when we landed in New Hampshire, it was only appropriate that we went to the Airport Diner. It’s a tradition!
Waldameer, in Erie, PA, was our last park in Pennsylvania!
This is Comet, one of their five credits…
…and Ravine Flyer II, my favorite coaster there! (Mommy thought it was a concusser.)
And here I am intentionally looking away because I’m being photographed next to a sign.
After we left the park, we looked for a restaurant for dinner, and Daddy sat next to Lisa Simpson for some reason…? Anyway, on to New Hampshire!
Next, we headed to West Mifflin, PA, a suburb of Pittsburgh, to go to Kennywood!
We rode both sides of Racer, an amazing woodie…
…an appropriately named flat ride called Whip…
…the super fun Turtle, the last operating ride of its kind…
…and, of course, much much more, including this over-100-year-old wooden coaster, Jack Rabbit. It was very fun, but it’s double down was not as intense as I’d heard.
One of the coolest places we stayed in was the Golden Eagle Inn in Bedford, PA. It was built in 1794! It’s very old and cute and weird.
Right after DelGrosso’s, we headed over to Idlewild in Ligonier, PA. They’re both small parks, so we could do them both in one day!
Fun fact: We were actually supposed to go to a 3rd park called Lakemont. But when we went, ALL THREE of their roller coasters were CLOSED.
Oops…Mom caught me with her camera, so I had to run away, as usual.
Here’s my video recap for our short trip there:
We spent the morning at a small park called DelGrosso’s.
This was my favorite ride, a spinning Wild Mouse coaster called Crazy Mouse.
Here’s a little video recap of our time at DelGrosso’s.
Knoebels is a family-owned, almost-100-year-old park, and it was fantastic!
The wooden coaster, Phoenix, was amaaaaazing! There was so much air time, I can’t believe I was even allowed to ride that thing.
Here is a video account of all the rides we did. Important note: I said I liked Twister in the beginning of the video, but by the end of the video, I changed my mind. I DO NOT LIKE TWISTER.
When we go on coaster tours, sometimes I have to do things Mommy and Daddy like, too.
Hersheypark is one of the best amusement parks in America. So, of course, we went! That doesn’t mean I’ll let Mommy take a picture of me in front of the sign, though.
I had to check my height to know which rides I could go on. I’m a Hershey bar!
A really cool thing that happened was that I stood in line with a real roller coaster YouTuber! He was really nice and we talked a lot about roller coasters. It made the line feel really fast. And I got to ride Laff Trakk with him!
This is just a cool funhouse mirror in the queue for Laff Trakk.
We survived Lightning Racer! (FYI, the Thunder side is much better than the Lightning side.)
Also, we stayed at Hotel Hershey and THIS is their pool!
Now, enjoy a vlog that I made at Hershey Park!
I will run away from Mommy taking a picture of me by a park sign every time. Mark my words.
Steel Force! My 40th credit! And my first hyper coaster! That’s over 200 feet, folks!
And here’s Daddy being weird.
Here are a couple of videos that the Legoland Fanboy (that’s me) took at this awesome park!
