Unfortunately, this is the weaker ride of the 2 train rides at Dorney, and by a pretty good margin. Cedar Creek Cannonball, as it is dubbed, looks really good and the steam engine definitely has a nostalgic look to it. But, as it turns out, looks are about the only thing this ride has going for it. It is amazingly slow, even for a train ride, and worst of all it has one of the most uninspired courses I have ever seen a train have. It is basically just a very simple oval of track around Dorneys river rapids ride. The "scenery" just consists of the exteriors of the "canyon" rock walls on the rapids ride, along with some sparse weeds/small trees. On the other side are just views of the midway, all of which could be seen by simply walking. Overall, its just a below average train ride that moves too slow and doesnt offer anything memorable, all while being more boring than fun.
