This highly anticipated addition to the amusement park is set to redefine the coaster experience for adrenaline enthusiasts and amusement park devotees alike.
Taking the amusement park world by storm, Iron Menace is not only the Northeast's inaugural dive roller coaster but also a marvel of coaster engineering that promises to deliver an unparalleled rush of excitement. Scheduled for its debut in 2024, the roller coaster is designed to captivate riders with a unique storyline, beginning in the remnants of an old steel mill. The journey will escalate as participants ascend a towering 160-foot peak, dangling over a gravity-defying, beyond-vertical first drop, setting the tone for the awe-inspiring adventure that follows.
This dive coaster, spanning nearly 2,200 feet of meticulously crafted steel track, boasts an array of exhilarating elements, including an innovative "hold and dive" feature. Riders will find themselves on the precipice of their seats, eagerly anticipating a heart-pounding 95-degree, 152-foot drop, inducing an unparalleled rush of emotions. With speeds reaching up to 64 miles per hour, Iron Menace introduces an industry-first tilted loop, offering an added layer of intensity to the coaster experience.
Following the spine-tingling initial drop, the coaster takes riders through a series of captivating maneuvers. A sharp ascent culminates in a 180-degree flip known as an Immelmann inversion, while a zero-g roll will leave passengers weightless, spiraling through a 360-degree twist. The coaster's innovative design further incorporates a tilted loop and a 360-degree corkscrew spin, leaving riders utterly disoriented in the most exhilarating way possible.
The debut of Iron Menace at Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom represents a monumental milestone, marking the first new roller coaster since the introduction of Hydra in 2005. "With an exciting backstory that loosely connects riders to our area’s rich industrial roots, Iron Menace will become the eighth thrilling roller coaster at the park, bolstering what has been an impressive lineup for well over a decade. Our coaster lineup–along with our all-inclusive water park, Planet Snoopy kids’ area, great shows, dining and more–make DorneyPark and Wildwater Kingdom a must-visit family destination in 2024." remarked Jessica Naderman, Vice President and General Manager of Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom.
To celebrate this momentous announcement and anticipate the upcoming season, Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom has introduced an offer on its 2024 Gold Pass. Early purchasers of the pass not only secure unlimited visits for the entirety of the 2024 season but also enjoy unrestricted access for the remainder of 2023, all for the enticing price of $99. Furthermore, those securing their 2024 Gold season pass before September 4, 2023, will be granted exclusive access to an event commemorating the arrival of Iron Menace.
