Pendulum-type ride Two giant arms with 20 riders each, swing opposite of each other, reaching a height of 125 feet! Powered with pneumatics, Skyhawk swings smoothly and comfortably at speeds of 60 mph in both directions.

Windseeker at Cedar Point NEW in Soar high above the Cedar Point Beach on WindSeeker, a 301-foot-tall, nothing-below-your- chair-but-air thrill ride experience!

Suggested questions about rides Do you have others? How does a roller coaster stay on its track? How do bumper cars move? What keeps a Ferris wheel from toppling over? Why don't you get flung out of certain rides? How do some rides get you from 0-60 mph in less then two seconds? How safe are rides?
