Thunderhawk


Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom

Designed by Herbert Paul Schmeck and built by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company, Thunderhawk at Dorney Park is one of the oldest continually operating roller coasters. Reconfigured in 1930, Thunderhawk is a traditional "out and back" wooden coaster with two crossovers that form an unusual figure 8.
