Dominator is a 200-foot tower featuring two gravity-defying rides. One tower suddenly blasts riders straight up 15 stories in the air before dropping them back to earth, while another tower slowly lifts riders to a staggering 170 feet, then thrusts them downward at faster-than-free-fall speeds.
HYDRA The Revenge is the first and only floorless roller coaster in Pennsylvania with a unique twist that flips riders upside-down as the train exits the station, then sends riders soaring through the sky along more than a half-mile of coiling steel roller coaster track.
Riders are suspended and seated face-to-face as Meteor thrill ride loops them forward and backward, giving the sensation of an inverted coaster loop.
New to Dorney Park for 2008, the power of Possessed will compel riders with new levels of excitement. Manufactured by thrill-artists Intamin, AG of Switzerland, the 704 feet of twisted steel will put all who challenge Possessed under its spell to ride, and ride, and ride. The dueling towers of this U-shaped, suspended impulse coaster will possess riders when the Linear Induction Motors (LIMs) send them rocketing from one tower to another, taking them to new heights of velocity.
Two arms with four individual seats each swing riders 60 feet into the air turning riders upside down.

Talon is the tallest and longest inverted roller coaster in the Northeast. A 135-foot hill sends riders through four inversions--a vertical loop, a zero-gravity roll, an Immelmann loop and a corkscrew.
Originally named "The Coaster," ThunderHawk roller coaster debuted in Dorney Park in 1923 and was re-christened "ThunderHawk" prior to the 1989 season. Designed by Herbert Schmeck, this wooden roller coaster was manufactured and installed by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company. The Thunderhawk roller coaster was originally constructed as an "out-and-back" roller coaster, but was modified into its present figure-eight pattern in 1930.
