DORNEY PARK & Wildwater Kingdom Allentown, PA (Abbreviation: DP) Cedar Fair L.P.
Park News - (2/5/2025) If you pass by Dorney Park this week you might spot some oddities along the park’s skyline that you wouldn’t normally see. In celebration of the Philadelphia Eagles playing in the Super Bowl this weekend Dorney Park has apparently added a ton of Eagles flags to the top of many of their iconic thrill rides, including the Dominator tower and new Iron Menace roller coaster. After dark you can find Dominator and the park’s Ferris wheel lit up with green lights. Oh, and while we’re talking about Dorney park it seems the park made a last second announcement about a new “Waterpark Enhancement Project” taking place ahead of the 2025 season. The big thing most people will see is an upgrade to the visual look of the waterpark’s Lightning Falls and Cascade slides. For those of drinking age, the waterpark is adding “21º and Colder” featuring a refreshed menu of icy cold cocktails. The Tradewinds retail shop is also getting a full makeover as well. (4/8/2024) According to a reader, Dorney has opted to remove the “Speed Slides” from the waterpark. Artwork of them has been edited out of the park map at this time, and I’m told that these were probably two of the older slides at the waterpark that had gotten a bit rough over the years. Based on a comparison to new and older park maps, the Speed Slides tower was located next to the Aqua Racer tower on the map, right on the eastern edge of the waterpark. I don’t know the current physical status of the slide tower itself however, but if it hasn’t been removed, I’d expect it to come down at some point this year unless they are planning to refurbish it. In other news, our source also tells us that the park has removed the Monster ride from the park, which was located in the area near the new Iron Menace and Possessed coasters. However, the thought is that the ride will be refurbished and likely brought back into the park in the future in a new location if possible.
2025 - Nothing is expected at this point in time...
