VIDEO: Dorney Park Releases First Official ON RIDE Point of View Video from New Iron Menace Roller Coaster
25 Marzo 2024 - 11:00PM
ALLENTOWN, PA (March 25, 2024) – The Northeast’s highly
anticipated, first-ever dive roller coaster Iron Menace is on the
move and cameras are already capturing some of the dynamic testing
underway at the Allentown, Pennsylvania amusement park.
This morning the park released the first official on ride point
of view video. It shows one of the 21-seat trains diving down the
160 foot high, 95-degree drop, before flying at speeds of up to 64
miles per hour across the brand-new track.
Iron Menace boasts four inversions including a tilted loop,
which is the first of its kind for a dive roller coaster, in
addition to some dynamic theming that pays homage to the Lehigh
Valley’s rich industrial history.
“2024 will be a historic year for Dorney Park with Iron Menace
and some of the story-telling that comes along with it,” said
Dorney Park’s Public Relations and Communications Manager Ryan
Eldredge. “A new restaurant and bar, a new gift shop, and Iron
Menace’s breath-taking station will really bring our new Steel Yard
themed area to life.”
Engineers working on the project say they are still testing the
dive roller coaster that’ll leave riders suspended for 3-seconds
before hurtling down 160 feet.
Last week the ride completed its first test run in front of
dozens of Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom employees.
Dorney Park’s Opening Day is scheduled for May 10, 2024, but
some fun ride-related events are expected to happen during the
month of April.

BACKGROUND: The Iron Menace, the Northeast's first-ever
dive roller coaster, opening in 2024, will be the first new coaster
built at Dorney in 19 years.
Riders of Iron Menace will start their exhilarating journey in
the remains of an old steel mill and then climb 160 feet where
they’ll hang over the beyond-vertical first drop before diving into
the first of four mind-bending inversions.
With nearly 2,200 feet of steel track, this awe-inspiring roller
coaster will feature a unique “hold and dive” element, where riders
will find themselves hanging on the edge of their seats,
breathlessly awaiting the heart-pounding 95-degree, 152-foot
drop.
With speeds up to 64 miles per hour, Iron Menace will boast the
first-ever tilted loop on a dive coaster. After the initial,
beastly drop, the train will pull up sharply and flip 180 degrees
in an Immelmann inversion. A zero g-roll will dish out a 360-degree
inversion in wild weightlessness, while the tilted loop and a
360-degree corkscrew spin will leave riders wondering which way is
up.
