White Water Landing (Dorney Park)

White Water Landing is a Shoot-the-Chutes ride at Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom amusement park in Allentown, Pennsylvania. It was built in 1993, 10 years after a sister park named Cedar Point built a defunct flume using the same name: White Water Landing (Cedar Point). This ride is identical to Snake River Falls at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio. It is located in the upper side near Hydra the Revenge.

Experience

The ride uses a chain lift hill as opposed to a conveyor belt on most water rides. The boat rises 80 feet (24 m) then turns around under a tunnel at the top. It then drops 80 feet (24 m) at a 50 degree angle at a speed of 42 miles per hour (68 km/h).[1] The ride ends with a giant wave that drenches people on and off ride. A bridge is installed at the bottom of the hill where visitors can stand to get soaked.

gollark: I don't not not not not not, and *wow* you spend 40 minutes on supper?
gollark: I think either the piston will fly out or it'll be too weak to function usefully with the power they can provide it but who knows.
gollark: Apparently whoever is doing the projectile thing is making a simple vaguely coilgun-type thing. I have no idea if it will actually work as they explained it.
gollark: Does it doing combustion count as *on* fire?
gollark: There would be significant legal issues and also quite likely damage to the box.
