Obiously, ya'll know that I'm from PA since I've posted messages like Hersheypark v.s. Dorney Park & Kennywood v.s. Knoebels. So I'll just break it down for ya'll & say what's your favorite park in PA & why? I also want to know what's your favorite coaster in PA & why? My favorite park's Dorney Park because of Talon & Steel Force & Wildwater Kingdom. I can't wait to go back this summer to ride Hydra. My favorite coaster's Phantom's Revenge in Kennywood because it's the fastest coaster I've ever been on & its airtime was just off the hook. The 1st twisting drop was nice, but the 232 ft. 2nd drop really blew me away. The airtime's very violent & the whole ride's just filled w/intensity.

I actually think that I like Kennywood as a park the best. I feel that for some reason, it just feels like a friendlier place. (please dont comment on that )
As for coasters, Im all for Storm Runner at hershey. That ride has the best launch I have ever experienced.

I like Hershey Park the best in PA, then Dorney and Kennywood. My favorite coasters in PA are Steel Force, Lightning Racer, and Phatom's Revenge.

My favorite Pa park is Knoebels. I just don't see how you can beat the ambience of this place. Outstanding food, classic rides like the flyers, bumper cars and haunted house, 2 world class wooden coasters, plenty of cool and shade, free admission and parking!?, excellent vibes. It's almost like stepping back in time. I haven't yet been to kennywood but I've heard similar things about it. Although the twister and phoenix both are amazing coasters my favorite Pa coaster is the Wildcat at Hershey. This crazy coaster gives me the same sensation in my body that I felt some 20 years ago while riding the Mighty Lightnin at Rocky Glenn (odd considering the defunct coaster wasn't a twister). That first drop on Wildcat takes my breath away every single time.

As many of you probably now, I've lived in PA my whole life and all of the parks I've been to are in PA except for Morey's Piers when I was 4 or 5 years old. My favorite park is Kennywood, followed by Knoebels, then Hersheypark. My favorite coaster in PA, well, after my recent trip to Hersheypark, I can't decide what my favorite coaster is because I'm just horrible at rating things against each other. However, I can rate my top PA steel and wooden coasters, but I can't merge the two categories. My favorite woodie is Thunderbolt, and my favorute steel coaster is Storm Runner.

Haha, I'd never 
But yeah, I was running low on time and didn't get to elaborate on that.
Knoebels is my favorite park in PA easily. It doesn't have the biggest rides or the most impressive coaster lineup, but what they have works. The scenery is downright awe-inspiring and the ride ops are really nice. You can't get better park food then Knoebel's either; the top 10's show that. The two wooden roller coasters they have there are classic, and they never get old no matter how many times you ride them. Knoebel's can't be touched in PA as far as a good time goes.
My favorite roller coaster happens to be in this park; The Phoenix. I refuse to believe that there is another rolelr coaster on this planet that gives you more airtime then this. With no seatbelts and a raised lapbar, nothing else compares.
So, if you're ever in PA and decide to go to a park, I'd recommend Knoebels.

Kennywood is my favorite PA park.
Phoenix is the best coaster overall and best wooden, followed closely by Phantom's Revenge as the 2nd best overall and the best steel coaster in PA.
