The Steel Yard area has a backstory. I'll let you read it yourself.
Dorney Park invited us to check out their brand new attraction for 2024. Iron Menace is a dive coaster from Bolliger & Mabillard that anchors their new Steel Yard section of the park.
The new ride features 2 trains featuring 3 sets of 7 across rows providing riders with a unique centerline experience. The coaster features a 152 foot drop that is beyond vertical at 95 degrees. Iron Menace goes 64 miles an hour. You go upside down 4 times including on the first inclined loop on a dive coaster.
In addition to the new coaster, Dorney Park has rethemed Cedar Creek Flyers turning it into MT Buckets. As well there is a new dining pavilion, gift shop (Steel Yard Gifts) and eatery (Iron Mill Grill & Bar).
As for our impressions of the new additions, it is a monumental investment for the park that is sure to attract guests from beyond its typical market. Iron Menace is the first dive coaster in the northeast and thus provides a unique experience that cannot be found nearby. We had a blast facing our fears on Iron Menace. Read on to see more about this new addition.

I expect this thematic fog to be specific to this event, but besides that, there is a lot of theming elements brought into the area.

If you are familiar with this section of Dorney Park, you will notice that the whole section has been completely redone opening things up towards the creek.
