Talon

Talon is an inverted steel roller coaster at Dorney Park in Pennsylvania where riders travel suspended beneath the rail through the entire ride. The track takes passengers through four inversions and multiple spiral turns during the experience.

Talon opened at Dorney Park in 2001 and was the first inverted roller coaster to arrive in the northeastern Pennsylvania region. This addition marked a turning point in bringing new thrilling rides to the park.

Talon serves as a central attraction at Dorney Park, drawing thrill-seeking visitors from across the northeastern United States throughout operating seasons.

The ride lasts about two minutes and reaches speeds of 58 miles per hour (93 kilometers per hour). Riders should be aware that the overhead position can intensify the thrill, so it helps to know what to expect before boarding.

Riders hang not just beneath the rail but with feet dangling freely above the ground with nothing beneath them. This completely exposed positioning sets it apart from standard coasters and heightens the sensation of floating through space.
