Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom is a great amusement and water park located near Allentown, Pennsylvania that boasts a large number of thrilling roller coaster rides, children’s attractions, and one of the largest water parks in the country. With all that is has to offer, Dorney Park is one of the most popular amusement parks on the East Coast, serving as a popular family destination for visitors from Philadelphia and New York City, which are both less than 90 miles away.
Popular rides in the Dorney Park amusement area include:
HYDRA The Revenge
The first and only floorless roller coaster in Pennsylvania, HYDRA flings riders upside-down as the train exits the station, then sends them screaming through the sky on more than a half-mile of coiling track.
Talon
Talon is both the tallest and longest inverted roller coaster in the Northeast. After ascending a 135-foot hill, riders are whisked through four inversions describes as a vertical loop, a zero-gravity roll, an Immelmann loop and a corkscrew.
Dominator
Dominator is a 200-foot tower containing two gravity-defying rides. While one tower unexpectedly blasts riders straight up 15 stories in the air before dropping them back down, the other slowly lifts its riders to a staggering 170 feet, then plummets them downward at faster-than-free-fall speeds. Fun!
While there are plenty of thrills and chills for adults, Dorney Park has lots of excitement for children as well. Kids will love spending time at Camp Snoopy, a 2-acre interactive play area packed with popular PEANUTS characters and assorted comic strip inspired attractions.
