Hydra The Revenge POV 5K B&M Floorless Coaster Dorney Park Allentown, PA

[@Hell_and_Back]

I like how it just rolls out of the station

[@EastCoasters]

JoJo rolls 🤌🏽

[@CajageClipsOffical]

Yeah

[@infernonine]

Just some lore for this coaster know You probably already know it it’s called Hydra the revenge because this used to be the site of the Hercules wooden coaster that was in that spot before so it’s like the hydra got it revenge on Hercules

[@brucegibson1813]

Probably the most unique b and m

@@JoshB333 yeah but hydras layout is just the wackiest I’ve seen from them

[@adamdragster]

Dorney Park never has any lines for legit anything

[@Shockzone1495]

Sucks Dorney Park isn't going to get any new coasters anytime soon. They were supposed to get a shuttle coaster built by the Gravity Group which was supposed to replace Possessed last year but the plans were scrapped because of COVID. UPDATE: so this is me 11 months after writing that comment. and apparently dorney Park is going to get a B&M dive which is going to be 150 ft tall. talk about speaking way too soon 😂

[@ClosestToTheSun]

Spoke too soon!

[@Trainmaster909]

@@ClosestToTheSun Sure, it’s only a B&M dive, but a B&M dive + Hydra + Talon would be enough to get me out to Dorney Park.

[@tentenchu8140]

​@@Trainmaster909 Steel Force is an excellent ride as well.

[@xtremeentertainmenttv9664]

Don’t give your hopes up, there are rumored to get something really good next year

[@Hell_and_Back]

YOOO THEY ADDED A NEW COASTER

Least B&M-like floorless

Jojo roll 🍥

[@brybryguy6314]

I mean. Hydra never gets much hate out there. Yea its not the most impressive B&M out there and it is pretty weak, but. It has the most unique lay out of any B&M out there thats for sure

[@catz_crazy6672]

Where is the seventh invert i only counted 6 is it the over bank there

[@mhtube01]

The inversion after the drop is an inclined dive loop. Some people question whether it's really an inversion or not but that's it.

[@DreamofThrills]

i was shocked how bumpy this thing was. rode once in the front and probably never again

[@Ignore14]

Bumpy? I rode it years ago and it was very smooth. I wonder if it's changed.

[@cancelled148]

Is that shaking thing the roughness of the track or the camera? Great ride tho

[@Spooky_Psyche]

Probably the roughness. I've heard that this one's pretty rough and it's kinda old too.

[@bread_girl_jane]

it’s a pretty rough ride, not enough to ruin it though

[@imreallyagoat]

@@bread_girl_jane fr it rlly is 😭 it’s not that smooth like a typical b and m floor less coaster

[@oneandonlysound3453]

Seems like it needs a refurbishment at least the trains and whatnot, I mean idk how "20 years" or not even has become "kinda old" especially for B&M's that are easily 5 years older and are either fine or not as shaky at this shows. And I hardly believe the jojo roll at the start, or how it seems as though they wanted to experiment making it almost like a hyper+floorless hybrid (one less inversion and I doubt many would disagree), and the drop style was mainly chosen because despite the Hercules hate (ridicoulous tbh guess it got canned right when people became weaker and more babyish about coasters) the drop was great. Sadly this doesn't follow the drop from Hercules-if it did, it'd be great. It's still a good B&M and a solid coaster. There's also the issue of if they are trying to save money by always using the same wheels, and if they are, that is why even some superman: ultimate flights (especially the original at SF over Georgia) are oddly shaky while not most of the time.

[@mhtube01]

​@@oneandonlysound3453 it has a rattle in the front of the train during the valleys earlier in the layout. It's been like that for years now. The back isn't as bad and is IMO the best seat on Hydra. I agree about the layout, having the drop follow Hercules' old drop down the hill would have been amazing and maybe putting the cobra roll or an immelman at the bottom to turn it around really would have put this coaster on the map more. Hercules had a unique layout but once the trims really hit on the drop, it lost so much momentum after the triple up that it just became very boring afterward and the roughness didn't help. I think a full refurbishment and redesign of the second half of the layout and then building Hydra through and around it for a dueling aspect would have been so cool. No doubt that would have been expensive though. If Dorney Park saw higher attendance like say Cedar Point or Kings Island, it may have warranted the cost of doing such a thing. All in all, Hydra is a fun ride but I do think Talon and Steel Force are superior. I'm excited for Iron Menace this year too!

This ride is pretty lame. I do like the green, though.

[@EastCoasters]

It’s alright. Definitely different.

[@cancelled148]

How is it lame? You would rather take a freaking redundant b&m layout?

[@ippolit4262]

For no lines I'd say this is pretty quality id just keep getting back on rq lol
