Summary:
Dorney Park offers some great thrill rides and one of the best hyper coasters, Steel Force, on the east coast. The variety of coasters, flat rides, and water rides makes this a great destination for the entire family. The only drawback to this park is the size of the crowds on weekends. You may want to consider a weekday visit instead.

This Schwarzkopf Double Looper pulls very strong G's. Many riders will brown-out on a hot day. Very intense and fast.

One of the best Eastcoast Hyper-Coasters! Smooth ride with loads of airtime on the return trip. Two tunnels and a nice helix turnaround.
