My gf and I tried to go to Hershey Park last summer. I've been going to Hershey since I was a kid, but I haven't been in maybe six years. It was absolutely packed. We mostly meandered around, trying to find rides with relatively short lines. In about six hours, we rode only four rides. We left early and went to Troegs.

I've been to all three a number of times and agree that each has it's own unique charms. Hershey is the closest and I started going there from about age ten when it was still a picnic grove and you bought tickets for the rides. The funhouse was truly fun with the barrel walk through, spinning disc, and spinning bowl that sadly became too expensive to insure for liability. Dorney Park was pretty good too with the old original rides but some were removed or revamped and the soul of the place was lost.

Similarly, I think that going to a derelict, glorified campground to enjoy the snacks and trees is absurd. But please continue to enjoy Knoebels.

Lancaster Brewing Company as well. I've never been to, but they have some good beers.

Yea. It’ll be interesting to see what happens down the line in these states where they’re handing out certs to all sorts of people in hopes of filling the vacancies.

Eh no one likes Biden, but it was him or trump, and we weren't voting for Trump.

Alabama keeps trying to pass laws promoting genocide, so yea. Hard disagree there.

I did once when I cancelled insurance and registration but kept the car it was attached to. Everything I read from PennDOT at the time was unclear, but it seemed like they didn't really care what you did with the plate, unless you were cancelling insurance or registration, in which case they really wanted the plate back. Post office said it would only cost me a couple bucks and some change to send it in, I figured why not, only a couple bucks to prevent potential headaches.

No, I can’t prove it because it’s nonsense. I was asking the other commenter if they thought this was the case.

Don't support the Amish. The abuse in their communities is horrid.

You haven’t made a relevant point yet.

No biggie. 👊

pay them more and help them out in the classroom

Who would’ve thought that sheerly theatrical machinations were afoot at the Opera?

I went to Hershey this year and lines were longer than Disney. Fast pass is more expensive too.

Some good coasters though, and it has a special place in my wives heart.

Get rid of half of the administrators and pay teachers more.

Sadly “change” probably means letting some half PTSDed veteran (elder) Millennial get a teaching job with a handshake and $25k/year

Sooo many Iraq/Afghanistan war vets in PA… (really wish our way of treating vets was better than thoughts and prayers and hope 7 deployments Over There didn’t duck you up too much LOL let’s close some VAs)

Those people would be wrong.

Loads of people go to amusement parks with no intention of getting on roller coasters. The aged, the very young, the car sickened, the pregnant, the spinally challenged, the vertically challenged, people who just flat out don't like it.

They go to be with family, friends; to play the carnival games; to watch the shows; to enjoy indulgent food. Trying to reduce the whole experience to the single element of coasters, even for the people who ride them, is absurd.

Harley Davidson factory. Used to have tours not sure since Covid

Why do you think it's inappropriate for a political body of elected politicians to be political? What do you think that word means?

Pairing Rozzi's bipartisan constitutional amendment to allow child sex abuse victims to sue their perpetrators long after the crime was committed with the GOP's anti-abortion and anti-regulator constitutional amendments that were entirely unrelated and partisan.

For what it's worth, I live in the City of Pittsburgh and know my neighbors and am 15 minutes away from a lot of food and shops, with the benefit of not having to rely on my car for every trip. I have two kids. I don't think you need to limit your search to just the burbs.

You are 1 1/2 hours from Philly? So much to do there! Lots of military and old historical stuff!
