Kingdom Coaster is the name of a wooden roller coaster located at Dutch Wonderland near Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The first coaster ever built by Custom Coasters International, it uses a single Philadelphia Toboggan Company train with buzz bars. The park's monorail runs through the structure of the ride.

It was known as the Sky Princess prior to the 2007 season.[2]

As of the 2017 season, the minimum height went from Amber (42"-47") level to 46". Anyone at that height or at the Sapphire (48"-53") Level need to go with a responsible rider of the Ruby (54" and up) level.

Ride experience

After the train leaves the station, the ride makes two turns before riders climb the 55-foot (17 m) lift hill. After the 50-foot (15 m) drop, the ride turns and goes up a bunny hill.[3] It is followed by many bunny hills, a tunnel, and even banked turns. Shortly after, the ride hits the brakes and returns the train back to the station.[4]
