Woodstock Express is a small family roller coaster in the Planet Snoopy area of Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom in Allentown, Pennsylvania, themed to Snoopy's friend Woodstock from Peanuts. It is a Zamperla family gravity coaster (80STD model) and opened in 2000.
History
RCDB lists Woodstock's Express as a former name. The coaster opened the same year as Camp Snoopy, the park's children's area, which was renamed Planet Snoopy after an $8 million overhaul in 2011.
The ride has a chain lift, a layout 13 feet tall and 263 feet of track, with no inversions. Its single six-car train seats 12 riders, two to a car. The park describes it as a pint-sized coaster whose up, down and sideways turns copy Woodstock's erratic flying, meant for families to ride together. It lists a minimum rider height of 42 inches when accompanied by an adult.
