Hercules is the name of a former wooden roller coaster at Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom in South Whitehall Township, Pennsylvania.
At the time it was built, it was the tallest wooden roller coaster in the world, but due to its poor design the ride only lived a short life from 1989-2003, where it was replaced by Hydra: The Revenge in 2005
