Dorney Park | Iron Menace | B&M Dive Machine | 2024

[Hyde]

They do have a haunted house shed in the back of the park adjacent Iron Menace's site, so wouldn't be surprised if they went for a tie-in theme with the coaster.

Reflecting a bit more on the coaster, I hope this gives a good backstop to the park, which in the past was just awash with meh rides (e.g. Laser, Stinger, etc.) and never had much of a sense of place outside of *makes waving gesture* a bunch of rides on the long way round to Steel Force.

Coaster Studios did an interview with someone at Dorney when this was announced and he said there will be a house that tie's in with the coaster, so good call everyone who thought of this!

Spoiler alert: the plot is actually just a Billy Joel impersonator chained to a piano, playing "Allentown" on repeat.

Honestly, I wouldn't be mad.

I think that this seems like an amazing idea, hyping up people in a creative way and developing a story that couldn't happen with just the ride theming.

Like nearly every good B&M project, the transfer track has gone vertical first;

Bah whats the point in a video of track arriving if you don't get close enough to see the label.
It's almost certainly D6-G but still.

It's 7 across seating, so I think it is D7-B.

So I've got some news for everyone...

I've just confirmed a wonderful interview with one of the Six Flags/Cedar Fair theme parks as part of a huge new analysis video for a brand new rollercoaster at one of their wonderful theme parks within the United States.

I can confirm that the park will be Dorney Park and this will be part of an analysis of Iron Menace.

The video will be released on Wednesday, 15th November 2023.

Any mods or anyone in charge of these forums, am I allowed to post the full video once it's done and uploaded to share what is said within the interview?

Here is my analysis for Iron Menace. Some interesting points to take in the interview with Ryan Eldredge, Public Relations and Communications Manager at Dorney Park.

Here's the full extended interview with Ryan Eldredge, the Public Relations and Communications Manager at Dorney Park.

Alongside Iron Menace, we discussed future plans, manufacturers the park could work with and past rides that could return if they could bring them back.

Thanks for sharing Chall. I actually think it was one of the better interviews he’s given to date. Great work on this.
