Description

Eight vehicles rotate counterclockwise and slowly climb upwards. When they reach the top, the vehicles sink a little and thus generate airtime.

Interesting information:
Kennywood announced on 3 November 2020 that it would remove the ride. However, due to large protests from guests and even a petition with over 20,000 signatures, this was not implemented. On 19 November 2021, Kennywood announced the renovation of the attraction. 2022 was then the reopening. It is the last model of its kind in the world.

Notes:
Height restriction: from 1.07m to 1.22m only when accompanied by an adult
Age restriction: -no restriction-
