Features

When it was constructed in 1976, the Corkscrew was the first ride with a 360-degree vertical loop and two corkscrews.

Structure

Steel tubular track and support beams. Two 5-inch diameter pipe rails on 48-inch centers, supported horizontally by 14-inch diameter pipe.

History

In 2005, seatbelts were added mid-season due to a problem with the harness locking mechanism.
