Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom up for USA Today accolades
Rachel Curry, Contributing Writer//March 24, 2026//
Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom in Allentown is up for two accolades from USA Today’s 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards, which highlight top attractions and businesses across the country.
Wildwater Kingdom’s lazy river (Runaway River) and wave pool are nominated for the award, with daily voting open beginning March 23.
A panel of USA TODAY editors and industry experts selected these nominations, but fans will decide on the final list. Voting is open through April 20 at 11:59 a.m., and individuals can vote once per day per category. USA TODAY will announce winners on April 29 at 12:00 p.m.
Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom is a Six Flags establishment. In Jackson, N.J., Six Flags Great Adventure is also up for best roller coaster (El Toro).
“We’re incredibly proud to see both of our parks recognized on a national stage,” Ryan Eldredge, public relations manager for the east region of Six Flags Entertainment, said in a release. “These nominations reflect the passion of our teams and the experiences our guests continue to come back for year after year. Now, it’s time for our fans and communities to rally behind the rides and attractions they love most.”
