Thrill Rides

The screaming does not have to stop! Along with our daring roller coasters, Dorney Park has eleven thrill rides that will lift you off your seat! You will go upside down, backwards, vertical and sideways! Take your bravery to the extreme and conquer them all!


Demon Drop
Level 5 - Aggressive Thrill
Demon Drop
Passengers board Demon Drop at ground level into a four-person car that moves horizontally to the base of the tower. The car then climbs to the top of the tower in only six seconds! Once at the top, the car slowly inches forward into the drop area. Riders are suspended there for what seems like an eternity, then without warning, they plummet 60 feet in less than two seconds of true free-fall before experiencing the deceleration g-forces as the car enters a pull-out curve. A computerized braking system slowly stops the car, which is then returned under the track for the next daring passengers.
Height Requirement: 48"
Dominator
Level 5 - Aggressive Thrill
Dominator
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.
Height Requirement: 48"
Enterprise
Level 4 - High Thrill
Enterprise
The Enterprise has 20 cars that hang from a large horizontal "wheel." The wheel spins rapidly in a clockwise direction, then is raised by a large hydraulic arm to a vertical position. When vertical, the ride spins its riders upside down with passengers held in their seats by centrifugal force.
Height Requirement: 54"
Hang Time
Level 5 - Aggressive Thrill
Hang Time
Hang Time holds a maximum of 40 guests in a two-row gondola. This 60-foot-tall thrill ride whirls, twirls, reels and spins guests repeatedly throughout the ride. A fountain in front of this ride gets water just close enough to almost stay dry.
Height Requirement: 55" - 77"
Meteor
Level 5 - Aggressive Thrill
Meteor
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.
Height Requirement: 48"
Revolution
Level 5 - Aggressive Thrill
Revolution
Revolution seats 32 passengers in a circle facing inward. Riders are suspended with nothing below their feet as the ring of seats rotates. Revolution swings the entire gondola 120 degrees in each direction to a nearly inverted position at 65 feet in the air.
Height Requirement: 48"
