You should hit up Hershey Park sometime...less obnoxious NYers..:uzi:

Its not far...about 2 1/2 hours i think. We love it there. My kids have been to Hershey...i havent...maybe this year.

Doug is right... Hershey is much nicer, larger and cleaner than Dorney. Just my opinion. We usually go once a year to both.

I had lavender ice cream once. :puke:
The horticulture ladies where I used to work made it one summer and convinced me to try it. Never again.

BTW my favs are...

1. Haagen Dazs light mint chip

2. Haagen Dazs raspberry sorbet (especially in a sipper with no cranberry, extra seltzer)

3. Pumpkin

Never been to either PA park, but why not Great Adventure? Aren't the rides (roller coasters, at least) much better there?

Yes...but it's so so crowded with New Yawkers..I'm a big fan of Kennywood park in Pittsburgh and Busch Gardens Williamsburg..I'd like to take a road trip to Cedar Point in Ohio..the Rollercoaster capital of the world..

X2 on the Great Adventure and Cedarpoint. GA is too crowded with "hoods" for us (and by us I mean Bob). The hubby actually almost got in a fight the last time we went because of a ridiculous line jumping operation going on in the Batman & Robin line. That was pretty much the end of GA trips for us. As for Cedarpoint... it looks amazing and I have always wanted to go but we never seem to get there.

I guess if I'm going to go to an amusement park, the primary attraction for me is good roller coasters. I used to pay more attention to these things, but unless things have changed recently, Dorney and Hershey can't touch Great Adventure for roller coasters. It's no contest in my mind. I'm sorry that you ran into one or a few unfriendly individuals, but why stereotype the place based on a bad experience?

Come on Six Flags has metal detecters at the entrance...it's a rough crowd of hoodlums, wankstas, gangsta, ballers, shot-callers, brawlers...and rollercoaster enthusiasts..

Well, at least we agree on the "rollercoaster enthusiasts". And at least Six Flags HAS roller coasters for people to be enthusiastic about.

And to answer the ice cream question, not in any particular order

1-something very chocolaty, such as chocolate fudge brownie at Ben & Jerry's
2-mint chocolate chip
3-chocolate peanut butter (such as at Haagen Daz)

If I'm not doing the home-made house brand at either of my area ice cream emporiums, I like Breyer's Chocolate Chip Mint or Hagen Daaz Coconut Pineapple.

This is an impossible question to answer.

Two of my favorites that I can no longer find are Ben & Jerry's Rainforest Crunch and Breyer's Caramel Pretzel.

I'm eating Turkey Hill Choco Mint Chip right now and got Ben and Jerry's Chocolate Fudge Brownie in the freezer. Soft serve at the Jersey shore is great too. Actually there's not much ice cream that I don't like.

Made some banana frozen yogurt last night. Didn't have a chance to taste the finished product, though, because we made an apple pie.

Modern Marvels - Ice Cream is on History channel now, it's time to eat some Chocolate Fudge Brownie.

I watched part of that last night. The Ben and Jerry's flavor guy doesn't have a real job.
Not to say I wouldn't enjoy his job, but it's not a real one. Can't be.
