Dorney Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania

Talon was added to Dorney Park in 2001.

Talon has one thing that makes it different from other B&M coasters that I have been on and that is the sound.

As Dorney is in a residential area sound is a concern.  With this in mind B&M put sand inside all of the tracks to silence roar that you normally hear from one of their coasters.

It was a bit weird riding Talon not just with the lack of noise but it felt like a coaster that I was all too familiar with.

With a spiraling drop, loop, zero g roll, Immelmann and a corkscrew Talon felt like Patriot at Worlds of Fun.
