Wednesday, May 2nd, 2007Dorney Park and Wildwater Kingdom is getting a new roller coaster for the 2008 season, and amusement-park fans think they know which one it is.
Last week, the South Whitehall park got township approval for minor zoning changes that will allow it to build a coaster.

By comparison, Dorney’s Dominator free-fall thrill ride is 200 feet tall. more
