Download The Voodoo Video (Dorney Park)
New for 2008 at Dorney Park and Wildwater Kingdom was Voodoo - an impulse coaster launching riders at speeds of up to 70 miles per hour. The coaster resembles an elongated ‘U’ shape with each end being a tower that the coaster travels up before gravity takes over and it free falls back down. The front spike twists and the back spike uses a holding brake that holds you vertical while facing the ground for a brief moment on your final ascent up the rear spike.
An interesting aspect of this coaster is its history. It was originally built in the year 2000 by Six Flags at their Ohio park and known as Superman Ultimate Escape. Four years later when ownership of the park changed and it became Geauga Lake again, the coaster was called Steel Venom. After the 2007 season Geauga Lake removed all of their rides and the coaster made it’s way to Allentown and found a home at Dorney Park where it’s known as Voodoo.
