This super-spectacular attraction will soar riders to new heights of fun! As the swings begin to rotate and increase speed, they ascend to the top of the tower. At over 100 feet tall, the Vertigo towers over the midway and is one of the tallest rides of its kind to travel in the U.S.
Hyper Loop
The Hyper Loop has 16 seats on a giant pendulum that swings back and forth. The pendulum has an enormous amplitude and can swing up to the range of 130 degrees on each side.
