Summertime may still be a ways off but that doesn’t mean we can’t start making plans. While some of us spend all year looking forward to fall, others live for the sunny days of summer. One of the most popular summer pastimes in Pennsylvania, visiting our favorite amusement park, is about to get even more fun in 2024. That’s because the first dive roller coaster in Pennsylvania will open, and it’s one epic adventure you won’t want to miss.

Dorney Park in Allentown will unveil what’s been called the first dive roller coaster in the Northeast during the summer of 2024, and it promises the ultimate adrenaline rush for coaster fans.
