History
In February 2023, the South Whitehall Township Planning Commission approved a project submitted by Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom to build a new steel roller coaster on the site formerly occupied by Stinger, a coaster that was removed in 2018. Details were kept hidden from the public with the exception of the ride's maximum height, which was revealed to be 161.67 ft.[1] The name of the new coaster, Iron Menace, was unveiled alongside its backstory on August 10, 2023. The new ride was described as "one of the largest capital investments in park history". The park frequently posted construction updates and marketed the ride as the first dive coaster in the Northeast,[2][3]
