From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom is an amusement park in Allentown, Pennsylvania owned by Cedar Fair. It opened in 1884 as a trout hatchery at Solomon Dorney's summer estate. Over its more than 130 years of operation, the park has expanded to include over 60 rides, including a water park that is included in a ticket to the park, as well as a kiddie area called Planet Snoopy—themed to the PEANUTS comic characters.
