If you are into ww2 stuff a new ww2 museum opened up last year in Gettysburg. It’s called WW2 American Experience. It has mostly American ww2 vehicles like tanks, jeeps, trucks, half tracks but when I was there they had a German car and a Japanese car as well.

Checks their website for events closer to when you go.

Do these people actually believe this, or is it just something crazy they say to force their agenda through?

Catoctin Mountain Park is an often overlooked gem. Could also check out 3 Mile Island just to say you have

Damn. I’m guessing this is already causing a shitstorm with R’s in the general assembly.

I was not, and the tickets to Hershey were on her company. So she did not pay for them. After that debacle she said she is never going back since it is a ripoff.

>he wouldn't commit to the deals he conceded to get the seat in the first place

What deals were they?

He did, but in the end it seems like it was basically just a wink and nod, and he never officially changed his registration as far as I know.

If you are a Legionnaire there's the Lickdale Post right out of the gate. Has pretty decent food and cheap beer. They are used to transients and will be welcoming.

Check out Dormont, PA. Best kept secret in the South Hills of Pittsburgh. Right on the T just 10 minutes from downtown. Has restaurants, breweries, shopping and a movie theater. Good school district and safe.

>So I guess the clientele at Knoebel's is smarter.

How do you draw this conclusion, when you, personally, are the clientele of both parks?

Wasn’t he the guy who said he would essentially act like an independent?

Yeah I fell out of touch after Covid. I’ve actually been to that part of Altoona maybe once or twice last year.

And they have great food! Real food not just freezer dump crap.

Yes I will be

Idlewild & SoakZone (724) 238-3666 https://maps.app.goo.gl/hhhkDnZCtLeqbUtp9?g_st=ic

Is great for little kids. Also lots of trees and about an hour east of Pittsburgh.

are you staying on Post?

When they’re even open. Place is half closed everytime I’m there and never open past 9

I figured it was something aviation related. I haven't been to FIG in years. They used to have Huey instrument simulators there. The night sky in that area is pretty nice, lots of stars.

They took out the Wildcat last year.

Putting Hersheypark and Knoebels in the same league always seemed pretty laughable to me.

Hersheypark wins in exactly one category: Number of top tier coasters. That's it. It's more expensive not only in the up front cost but the ridiculous in park mark-ups. The lines are outrageous. The parking is outrageous. The food as expensive as it is, is terrible. The value proposition for non-riders is infinitely bad. It feels like it's trying to be Disney-lite in the worst possible way, using your affection for the brand to steam roll you with a bad park experience.

Everything else about Knoebel's is better because it has to be. Long lines help no-one and maybe even hurt them because you spend less money. It also helps you, if you end up there on a day when it's slammed and the lines are long, you spend less money. You can bring in outside food so the food stalls have to be competitive which means not only are they far more reasonably priced but mostly just straight up tasty. It's practically gourmet cuisine compared to the shit they serve at Hersheypark. If you're non-rider it doesn't cost you anything just to walk through the door. There is usually at least passable live music to kill time out of line with. The parking is free. Knoebel's isn't built in an up-jumped parking lot - it's not hard to find a shady spot because basically everywhere is a shady spot.

It's not even close.

Well, I will tell you this, the premium at Hershey is the price and the service is not worth it.

Last summer my wife had two tickets from work and took the daughter (pretty sure they are over $50 if not $60 per person). It cost $25 to park (free at Knoebel's). They were there five hours and got to ride four rides. They also spent about $40 on food and drinks.

We also took the daughter, two granddaughters with us to Knoebel's. We got a free pavilion where we cooked out. The kids are small so it was kiddie rides (cost me $40.00 for the two of them). Wife and daughter did a few rides for about $20.

Other miscellaneous stuff was probable another $40.00, but five of us spent the day there.

So I guess the clientele at Knoebel's is smarter.

Depression is an ongoing battle, but with such a supportive environment around him I think he'll do just fine. Keep on fighting the great fight for all of us!

Oh nice! I’m a Blackhawk crew chief in the Alabama guard and have a class at FITG. Thanks for the advice!

Thanks!

I was stationed at Rucker for flight school back in the 80's.

You could do the Civil War Museum and the Capitol on the same day. Harrisburg has a nice waterfront, take a walk and grab some lunch.

Enjoy your visit to Pennsylvania.
