What should I expect from Dorney Park in Penn? (As good as Cedar Point?)?

I may be heading up to NY for a wedding for my first cousin this summer. We may stop at Dorney Park in Penn for a family reunion or something, but may stop here for it. The family lives by Hershey Park, but we have already been there like around 1999 or 2000 or so. I was like 5/6, but my parents already been there anyways. Is Dorney Park a good amusement park? I just went to Cedar Point last summer, so will this compete with it? Is there any rides like Top Thrill Dragster, I don't think anything could be better? I hate to see rides that are copy cats of other rides. I checked it online and looked like rides I have been on.

I'm from South Florida, so I know my parks. I have been to Dollywood, Six Flags ATL, Disney Parks, Universal/Island, Cedar Point, Cypress Gardens, Elitch Gardens and etc. I use to love roller coasters, but maybe I grew out of it. I'm not afraid or anything (though that dragster one I didn't want to, but liked it), but I just don't enjoy them as I use to. I will just ride them, and leave. I don't like wooden roller coasters that give me headaches or something like the Ninga from Six Flags ATL. I use to be too short, so that's why. How's the water park? Is this a good place to visit? Is it just another amusement park that has nothing special? Also, do you think Six Flags should make a park in Florida? I mean you already have all those other parks, but maybe in Miami or Palm Beach or something. And any other parks I should visit anywhere in the U.S. that I haven't visted, prob west cost? Sorry about being all over the place. Thank you!What should I expect from Dorney Park in Penn? (As good as Cedar Point?)?
Dorney Park is owned by Cedar Fair, which owns Cedar Point. It cannot compete with Cedar Point. They have a few coasters and have been adding more, but nothing like Top Thrill Dragster or MIllenium Force. I like the water park and that is the main reason I go there. One thing that always bothered me is that the place appears to have been built on what must have been farmland. As a result, there are not many trees around and thus, not much shade. This is especially true of the water park and it can get very uncomfortable in the height of the summer. Naturally, they have been trying to rectify this by planting and things have improved, but it will take a while. I have no opinion on whether or not 6 Flags should build a park in Florida. I don't expect it to happen as there are already plenty of parks in Florida and 6 Flags has been in financial trouble for years. As far as other parks are concerned, I recommend visiting 6 Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, California, which is near Los Angeles. This park is the only serious competition for Cedar Point in the US and has a lot of excellent coasters.
it is soooooo much fun......i live 30min away and i go once a year. roller coasters, spin rides, drop rides, fst ones, and now VOODOO! sweet ride.What should I expect from Dorney Park in Penn? (As good as Cedar Point?)?
Sorry, Done Park is a good park, But its not near as Good as cedar point. But don't be feeling blue, Cedar Point is the biggest park in the usa and has the most roller coasters, But dorney park is just like a normal park, its a good park, and you should have alot to look forward too, but its not as good as cedar point.
