Merlin’s Mayhem:

Dutch Wonderland’s New Ride for 2017 Unveiled Suspended Roller Coaster Takes Flight at A Kingdom for Kids!

Nov. 1, 2016 (Lancaster, PA) – Dutch Wonderland is excited to announce the addition of their

first suspended family roller coaster, Merlin’s Mayhem, scheduled to open during the

summer of 2017. Merlin’s Mayhem will feature new thrills, twists and turns, as guests

experience an enchanted journey with Dutch Wonderland’s friendly magician, Merlin.

Families will join Merlin on a high-flying adventure in search of his dragon friend, Mayhem,

who has disappeared into the park. Thematic events, beginning in the queue, reveal the story

of Mayhem and Merlin. Once guests board the ride, Merlin will begin giving clues and

encouragement through on-board audio within the seats. As the enchanted flying machine

returns to the station, the mischievous Mayhem is safely reunited with Merlin.

Merlin’s Mayhem, manufactured by S&S Worldwide, will be the tallest ride located at Dutch

Wonderland, featuring a 60 foot rise to the top, along with two helix turns. At a minimum

height requirement of 39 inches, this new roller coaster will be enjoyed by young and old alike.
