Here are both of the coasters we yet had to ride all nice and neat in a single photograph.  Talon is the brightly colored inverted coaster and in the foreground is Dorney Park's Wild Mouse.

Dorney Park's Wild Mouse is a standard Mauer Sohne version of the classic ride.  There are lots of dips and unbanked turns so you can slam back and forth into your friends like Draven and Bond did.

I hate upcharge attractions at amusement parks.  I mean you already paid to park and you paid to get in and now you have to pay extra for certain rides, come on.   This ride is an exception.

The reason that Dorney Park's 8 seat S&S Powersports Screaming Swing is an exception in my book is costs just $2 to ride and these very small Screaming Swing's are significantly more intense than the huge 32-40 seat models.

If you don't know what a Screaming Swing is the ride concept is very simple.  Just take your backyard swing and scale it up a hundred times and then have giant pistons that are powered by compressed air shoot you back and forth and you have a Screaming Swing.
