Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom
Overview
Lehigh Valley’s Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom in Allentown features two great parks for the price of one, spread across 200 acres of amusement! There are more than 100 rides, shows and attractions for guests to enjoy including seven roller coasters, the largest collection of kids’ rides in Planet Snoopy™ and one of the country’s best-ranked water parks.
Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom is one of the most visited amusement parks in the United States and is the perfect combination of thrills and family fun. If you are up for it, the coasters make your head spin, heart throb and hair stand straight up. You will go upside down, backwards, vertical, and sideways! Fan favorites are Steel Force, Hydra: The Revenge, and Talon: Grip of Fear. Thunderhawk, one of the oldest wooden coasters in the U.S., was even recognized by the American Coaster Enthusiast (ACE) as an International Roller Coaster Landmark!
As the park prepares to open for the season, guests can also look forward to enhancements beyond the slides, including a new bar experience (21° and Colder) and an upgraded retail space (Tradewinds) — just part of the refreshed atmosphere coming in 2025.
Iron Menace
Iron Menace, the northeast’s first dive coaster, suspends riders 160 feet in the air before plummeting at a beyond-vertical, 95-degree drop. Four mind-twisting inversions and speeds up to 64 miles per hour leave riders of this drop coaster spellbound—and burning for more.
Wildwater Kingdom
Splash around and beat the heat in one of the country's best-ranked water parks. Get soaked by the tremendous collection of splashes, including 26 drenching water slides, lazy rivers and two huge wave pools. The “Snake Pit” water ride, covers 1.5 acres of the water park and features six body and tube slides.
The newly reimagined Lightning Falls and Cascade promise high-thrill adventures with updated designs and an immersive guest experience. These revitalized slides are set to deliver even more fun and excitement to waterpark guests this season.
- The Python Plummet, a roughly 65-foot-tall structure where riders can choose from one of three chambers. A trap door opens following a countdown, dropping guests in a free fall through a 450-foot slide that includes a series of flat loops and S-curves.
- The Constrictor, a tube slide that features four 360-degree loops across 449 feet of slide.
- Twin Boa Blasters takes guests riding single or double tubes through a series of high-speed drops and banks.
