Many of our safety measures remain the same as last season, but here are some of the differences you’ll notice:

Changes from Last Season

  • Wildwater Kingdom Water Park will open on May 29, 2021. Both Season Passholders and Single Day Ticketholders need reservations for Wildwater Kingdom.
  • Single Day Ticketholders that purchased prior to May 3, 2021 will only need to make a reservation to visit Wildwater Kingdom.
  • Season Passholders may only have up to two active Wildwater Reservations at one time. Once visited, Season Passholders can make another active reservation.
  • A reservation is not required to visit only Dorney Park.
  • The health screen questionnaire will be conducted by associates at the park entrances and will not be through the Dorney Park mobile app.
  • Temperature checks for guests have been discontinued at the front gate.
  • There will be no limitations to ride capacity for most rides. Face coverings are required on Dorney Park rides.
  • A face covering is required for all guests over the age of 2. A face covering is always required except while in a RelaxZone, while dining at a table or bench, while waiting in line for water attractions or when experiencing water attractions or pools.

In addition to these changes, several measures remain in place from last season. More details on each of these measures are available in the updated Welcoming You Back section of our website.
