Lore​

In the early 1900s, Scottish businessman Hiram S. McTavish opened McTavish Steel Mill, a direct competitor to Bethlehem Steel Company. Greed dictated McTavish’s every move, and he was well known to prioritize profits above people.

With an eye on maximizing output, McTavish created a massive hauler he dubbed “Iron Menace,” a device the steel industry had never seen. The rail transporter moved workers and ore at record volumes and dizzying speeds.

Suddenly the greedy steel baron mysteriously disappeared—no one knows how or where. Shortly after, McTavish Steel Mill closed. All that remains today are the mill’s decrepit shell, rusty relics and wild tales of the owner’s whereabouts.

I can't look at that full-color logo without seeing "Iron Menage." 😳

A terrific opportunity for a Haunt headstone memorializing "Steely Dan."

I was at Dorney yesterday and the in park adds for this are some of the best I have seen at any park. The really look to be doing a great job pushing it.

I really enjoyed my first dive coaster (Cedar Point) and this one will be day trip-able for me, so that's pretty exciting.
 
Any chance those vertical lattice columns could be part of some lift structure decoration? It was hard to gauge how big they were
 
Does anyone know what this might be?

An announcement on Tuesday… I personally think they’re going to announce their special event calendar for the year. Probably the dates for Grand Carnivale, Haunt, and maybe more…

Optimistic guess: Could Dorney Park finally add WinterFest since Hersheypark’s Christmas event has been a hit?

I would tend to bet on just a special events calendar given the cost cutting roll that CF has been on lately I would be very surprised to see them add a major event to any park especially a winter one to a northern park.
