| Location: | Built where the Hercules once stood. |
| Etymology: | In Greek Mythology, Hercules was a great warrior. In order to be forgiven for a crime, he had to perform twelve labors, each requiring great strength. One of these labors was to slay Hydra, a horrible serpent with many heads that grew back as soon as they were cut off.
Dorney Park appears to have adapted this story to have Hydra return and seek revenge over Hercules. |
| Theme: | Green track. |
