 Review of Talon @ Dorney Park
1 Rating Posted by: BobFunland on 5/27/2005 12:39:00 PM
Yet another awesome B&M Invert to add to the collection. Talon was everything I thought it would be, and possibly more. I envisioned a ride similar to that of a BTR, but with the custom layout. The first series was great, similar to the Batmans with the tight inversions. The loop, G-roll and Immelman were all intense and powerful. The ride then split off in a different direction, opting for some great visuals. There were some nice curves over the midway, and then the dives that were so low to the ground you would think basketball players would not be allowed to ride. The ride is set on top of that awesome Dorney mulch so it looks good against the vibrant color scheme, which is another plus. That last helix was something else, where you are banked sharply, near the ground, and flying through, whizzing past the midway and then into the brake run. A solid ride with awesome pacing and intensity. Plus, they are very good with its operations, so the lines move. I would reccommend this to anyone, and think it is an overlooked Invert and should be up there near the likes of Montu.

Would you compare the intensity to that of Top Gun: TJC? Sounds like the ride was a blast...

This is the only invert(that I can think of) I havent ridden. I have heard good things. Where is it in the grand scheme of inverts? Top 3 or 4?

Id say #3 up there just behind Top Gun and Montu. It was indeed very intense.

We were talking about Top Gun: The Jet Coaster, not just plain "Top Gun" which is at PGA. Sorry, we should have clarified that. I havent heard too many good things about Top Gun at Great America anyways...

Unfortunatelly, Top Gun at PGA is not that great. Theres a loop, a helix, a heartline roll, and a corckscrew. Its relativley uneventful in comparison to Talon.
