Merlin's Mayhem is a suspended family roller coaster at Dutch Wonderland in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. It opened on April 28, 2018, after a planned 2017 debut was delayed, and was the park's first new coaster in about two decades. It replaced the Turnpike car ride.
The ride was built by S&S Worldwide and designed by Joe Draves. It is 60 feet tall, the tallest ride in the park, with 1,300 feet of track, two helixes and no inversions, and lasts about one minute. The train passes over the Sky Ride, beside a pond and through a tunnel under the park railroad. Onboard audio tells the story of Merlin searching for his dragon friend Mayhem.
Riders must be between 39 and 78 inches tall, according to the park.
