Up or down? The choice is yours on Dominator at Dorney Park. Opening in 1999, Dominator is an S&S Drop Tower that towers 200 feet in the air. When entering the queue for Dominator, future riders have a chance to pick whether they would like to be shot 160 feet up the red tower, or dropped from the 170 feet on the green tower. The ride can be seen from any point in the park as the ride is located right in the center of the park, being the midpoint of travel from rides such as Hydra, Steel Force, Thunderhawk, Stinger, and Possessed.

From the top of either tower, an amazing view is given from any angle you happen to sit at. Whether it’s the parking lot from the left side of the red tower, or Possessed, Stinger, Steel Force, and Thunderhawk from the back side of the green tower, you can always be assured that a spectacular view will always be given every ride.

Technically, Dominator is two different ride models in one. The red tower is an S&S Space Shot that launches riders upwards at a speed of 50 MPH and a height of 160 feet. The green tower is an S&S Turbo Drop, where riders are dropped form a height of 170 feet, reaching speeds of 40 MPH.

Another drop tower exists at Dorney Park. Demon Drop is a historical ride that was relocated from Cedar Point in 2010. Being one of the last Intamin 1st Generation Freefall, the 130 foot dark blue structure gives the same feeling of weightlessness as the green side of Dominator when dropped. Of course, being as old a ride as it is, Demon Drop enhances the unsecure feeling through the rickety sounds it makes as the car plummets down the tower.
