Coming in 2024, brave guests at Dorney Park will be able to ride the northeast’s first dive coaster, Iron Menace. The seven-across, three row deep trains will be hauled up a 160 foot hill where you’ll be held suspended for three seconds over the 152 foot, 95-degree beyond vertical drop. Four inversions follow including the first ever inclined (tilted) loop on a dive coaster.
This will be Dorney Park’s third roller coaster by B&M, joining Talon and Hydra (and 8th coaster total). Overall, this will be the 17th B&M dive coaster in the world, the 6th in the US, and just the second to feature 7-across seating and a beyond vertical drop. It will also be tied with Yukon Striker for most inversions on a dive coaster with four.
Iron Menace will be the first B&M dive coaster in the US to go straight into the drop from the lift rather than having a 180 or 90 degree slow turn (and just the 3rd one like that in the world).
The ride will cover 2,169 feet of track in two minutes and hit a top speed of 64 miles per hour.
