This tower ride suspends you 400 feet above the ground, as you swing weightlessly in a circle at speeds of up to 35 miles per hour. While this ride is certainly not for those afraid of heights, thrill-seekers will love this one-of-a-kind experience. Younger guests will not have to worry about feeling left out, however, as there are plenty of kid-sized ride and play areas that allow them to join in on the fun.
