Current roller coasters
Dutch Wonderland has two operating rollercoasters.
Kingdom Coaster - Built in 1992
A wooden rollercoaster, the first coaster ever built by
Custom Coasters International. Uses a single Philadelphia
Toboggan Company train with buzz bars. The park's monorail runs
through the structure of the ride. The ride was once painted
white, and is currently painted blue. It was named the Sky
Princess until the 2007 season.
Joust - Built in 1998
A steel "Big Dipper" style rollercoaster, manufactured by
Chance Rides. Sits where the Flying Carousel once stood, in
front of the Kingdom Coaster. Rumored to be Chance's prototype.
