From the official site:
Forge your own fate on Iron Menace, the northeast’s first dive coaster. Firing up in 2024, this new ride at Dorney Park suspends riders 160 feet in the air before plummeting at a beyond-vertical, 95-degree drop. Four mind-twisting inversions and speeds up to 64 miles per hour leave riders of this drop coaster spellbound—and burning for more.
Shades:
With Valravn being modified (shortened) and moved to Dorney, what is CP going to put in its place?
This looks way better than Valravn. But tbh, most of my hate on VR comes from the janky brake system. It's not like I want to hate a 200 ft tall coaster 40 minutes from my house, but that's just the way it is. Twice. :(
I got so much **** when I tried to call out the janky brakes on Valravn. I'm glad someone else agrees with me. :P
The smaller B&M dive coasters tend to be more reliant on magnetic brakes (and the renders of Iron Menace seem to confirm this) so hopefully nausea-inducing brake checks aren't on this ride. I might like it more than Valravn.
Having ridden Yukon Striker, Valravn, Griffon, and Sheikra, I will say I want to ride the Menace just to see how it compages to the other four.

Also in agreement. It's really, really annoying... And makes me queasy... On a brake run of all things.
I think what distinguishes this one from the others is the 95 degree drop. I think all the others are 90 degrees. I'll probably visit the park next year. My last time there was in 2003! And I can't wait to ride Steel Force again! I don't know why but I love those Morgan hypers!
