 Review of Skooters @ Knoebels
0 Rating Posted by: Hercules on 5/23/2005 2:04:00 PM
This is one of two rides at this park that I could not review because it had been so long since I had been to the park (about 3 years), which was pretty much before I was as hardcore about rides and coasters as what I am now. Here, we have the Scooters. These are not your everyday bumper cars. It is even an insult to call them bumper cars. They are vintage, hardcore, cut throat, no holds bard, slam it down your throat and you better like the taste or Ill slam it down your throat again, you better get back up to get your beating, drilling machines. This classic puts the land stricken, beached bumper boats at Dorney Park to shame. Dorney used to have these fine Lusse creations, but got rid of them a long time ago. I guess the people of Allentown cant handle the beasts like the people of Elysburg. And believe me, the freaks (no offense) of Elysburg dont take their Scooter riding lightly. They know how to get it done and get it done right. When you walk up to this, it does not look like anything that will blow you away, and the divider in the middle makes you think that it wont be anything great after past experience. However, prepare to be amazed. Hard hitting fun awaits, and there is nothing more fun then forcing someone into the cars that are not currently operating, spinning them out, pinning them in, and repeatedly bashing them until someone comes along and tags you. Crazy? Yes. Psychotic? Maybe. Fun? Definately. There is a reason why this is one of the longest lines in the park. These are by far the best "bumper cars" I have ever been on.

Sweeeet review, Hercules - you definitely captured the beauty of these fine machines. I love that you compared them to the more recent models, calling the latter "land stricken", and "beached". Perfectly put.

Yeah I know, I was looking for you the whole time. I drilled your girlfriend multiple times, then when we were getting off and you guys were already off of the ride, I turned to her and told her that I was sorry but she said that she had a great time and she loved it LOL So much for feeling bad LOL I really wanted to get you though. Too bad. Maybe next time. Does SFOG have good bumper cars? Just so I can get you when Im down there in a couple years.

They are no Skooters, and just average I suppose, compared to other installations. Im sure they are better than Dorneys things though LOL

And yes, the Skooters were her favorite ride at the park.

Hey, what did I tell you about making fun of my home park? LOL I know, those things are pitiful.

Well, the Skooters are definately not a bad favorite ride to have at the park that is for sure. Good choice there.

I figured SFOG had at least average ones. I dont think anything can compare to the Skooters.
