It features 4 inversions and close to the ground encounters. Designed by Bolliger & Mabillard, Talon was known to be one of the longest inverted roller coasters in the Northeast when it opened in 2001.[1][2] HistoryOn April 28, 2000, Dorney Park announced that a {{convert|135|ft|m|adj=mid|-tall}} four inversion inverted roller coaster would be built for the 2001 season.[1] No further details were given until August 30, 2000 when Dorney Park announced the full details of the new $13 million roller coaster and its name, Talon.[2] The ride would be the Northeast's longest inverted roller coaster and would be built on a portion of land set aside for a major attraction by Cedar Fair when they purchased the park in 1992.[3] Construction began on September 5, 2000[4][2] and continued through the winter.[5] The first parts of Talon to be put into place were the brake run and transfer track in October 2000.[6] The roller coaster was topped off (the highest piece of the lift hill) on November 21, 2000 and the track was completed in early 2001.[7][8] After testing was complete, Talon opened on May 5, 2001.[12] ExperienceHaving dispatched from the station, the train immediately begins to climb the {{convert|135|ft|m|adj=on}} lift hill. Once at the top, the train goes through a pre-drop before making a sharp {{convert|120|ft|m|adj=on}} downward right turn. The train then enters a {{convert|98|ft|m|adj=on}} tall vertical loop. After exiting the loop, the train goes through a zero-gravity roll before dropping back to the ground and entering an immelmann loop. The train then makes a full 360-degree upward right turn followed by a left turn leading into another drop. After the drop, the train makes highly banked right turn into a flat spin. Next, the train makes a left turn (extremely close to the ground) before heading to an airtime, and back up which leads into the brake run. After exiting the brake run, the train makes a right turn into a second, shorter, set of brakes before entering the station.[9][10] One cycle of the ride lasts about 2 minutes.[10] CharacteristicsTrainsTalon operates with two steel and fiberglass trains. Each train has eight cars that can seat four riders in a single row for a total of 32 riders per train.[9] The train structure is coloured blue and turquoise, the seats are black, and the over-the-shoulder restraints are yellow. TrackThe steel track of Talon is approximately {{convert|3110|ft|m|adj=off}} long, the height of the lift is approximately {{convert|135|ft|m|adj=off}} high, and the entire track weighs just under {{convert|3,000,000|lb|kg}}.[9][11] It was manufactured by Clermont Steel Fabricators located in Batavia, Ohio.[12] Unlike other B&M coasters, the track is filled with sand to reduce the noise produced by the trains.[9] Also, the track is painted orange and yellow while the supports are blue. Slogan & themeThe entrance sign has a mini-slogan as "The Grip Of Fear. The word "Talon" is named after a claw, which is specifically found on birds of prey and mythical creatures. The ride is themed as a bird of prey.
