| News!
For 1999, the Skyride has been removed.
|
 The park as shown above in 1988 still had the Flying Dutchman, Rockets, Scooters, Coaster station and the parking tower. |
 The Journey
to the Center of the Earth was the last operating Mill Chute ride in the US. This ride was
built by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company. |
 This view taken from the top of Thunderhawk shows the Indy 500 building, the rockets and the train when it was silver & red. |
 Alfundo the clown greeted visitors as they entered Dorney Park. This large happy face sat above the old Coaster/Scooter building at the lower entrance. |
 This is the Traver rocket ride that operated at the park. It was located just to the left of the old "Journey to the Center of the Earth" entrance, near where the scrambler is now. This was likely the last operating Traver Circle Swing / Rocket ride in North America. |
 The Iceberg was patented as a sign at the entrance pointed out. It
was a PTC cuddle up ride that was operated in the dark with music and special effects
lighting. Originally, the ride had very good air conditioning. |
 The Indy 500 was an electric powered race track. The ride sat just along the original Dorney Park Road that once ran through the park. The roof was made of fiberglass. The cars raced clockwise. |
