The story of Kingdom Coaster
When the traveller came to Lancaster in 1992, Dutch Wonderland had a new wooden landmark for its family park. It opened on May 16 of that year as Sky Princess, a modest but proud timber coaster suited to the scale of the grounds. en.wikipedia.org· coasterpedia.net
The ride also marked the beginning of Custom Coasters International’s building story. From this first Pennsylvania commission would follow a generation of larger wooden works, but here the company’s craft began at fifty-five feet, with a train running over two thousand feet of track. coasterpedia.net· coasterforce.com
Before the 2007 season, Sky Princess received the name by which today’s visitors know it: Kingdom Coaster. The park’s own description still places it firmly as a wooden ride for younger passengers and families, without upside-down loops or extreme drops. en.wikipedia.org· dwo-prod.hfecorp.com
The old structure has not been left to age in silence. In 2025 and 2026, Skyline Attractions worked with Great Coasters International on two seasons of refurbishment, replacing a cumulative 483 feet of track, including work at the start of the ride and at the final helix. skylineattractions.com
