Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom has earned international recognition for its commitment to operational excellence across both ride operations and aquatics safety.<\/p>\n
At the 2026 Safety Conference hosted by International Ride Training LLC, Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom received the iROC Audit Excellence Award (Large Facility) \u2014 an honor recognizing top audit performance among leading amusement facilities.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis award celebrates a ride operations team\u2019s exemplary performance during the International Ride Operator Certification Audit, particularly in achieving high standards across the 10 critical components of ride operator safety,\u201d said Cindee Huddy, owner and managing member of International Ride Training LLC.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis team\u2019s dedication to these essential safety standards is evident and the award shows the team\u2019s hard work throughout the 2025 season,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
In addition, the park\u2019s Wildwater Kingdom team achieved a 2025 Platinum International Aquatic Safety Award from Ellis & Associates.
