Dorney is ok but it just gets crazy busy. We get season passes because we are close and the new silver tier is worth it if nearby. We love it in the fall when it's less crowded and cooler.

The water park though...we have young get kids and every time we went the one year the wave pool and kid pool area were always closed due to poop. I'll do water slides but count me out for the wave pool.

So check out the CBEA salary agreement here:

https://www.cbsd.org//cms/lib/PA01916442/Centricity/Domain/80/CBEA%20Agreement%2022-28.pdf

And scroll down to appendix A where you can see teaching salaries. It's only with 12+ years experience and a Masters degree that you start cracking into the 90K figure. When I worked there as a second year teacher I was making like 48K.

Where'd you get the 94K figure from?

Wildcat was famously rough. Wooden megacoasters like that tend to have lots of maintenance and structural issues that impact longevity.

RMC, the firm behind Wildcat's Revenge, is well known for their wooden to hybrid coaster conversions, that use a good chunk of the structure from the previous ride. For some examples of exactly this happening, check out these coasters:

  • Iron Gwazi, Busch Gardens Tampa (formerly Gwazi, a GCI dueling coaster, similar to Lightning Racer at Hershey)

  • Steel Vengeance, Cedar Point (formerly Mean Streak)

  • Iron Rattler, Six Flags Fiesta Texas (formerly Rattler)

  • New Texas Giant, Six Flags Over Texas (formerly Texas Giant)

And plenty more.

But don't feel old. It's partly a trend running right now among amusement parks to get an RMC coaster, and partly correction for an old trend of huge wooden coasters that didn't last.
