Power Tower

Story

Power Tower is a thrill ride located at two Cedar Fair parks in the U.S.A, Cedar Point and Valleyfair. The attractions are powered by air in large cylinders in which an aircraft steel cable, connected to the internal piston, travels and is also connected to the external rider car. Hydraulic cylinders at the base of the tower provide an extra measure of safety in case of a ride malfunction. Both rides were designed and manufactured by S&S Worldwide of Logan, Utah.Cedar PointPower Tower at Cedar Point is a multi-tower attraction featuring a pair of Space Shot rides and a pair of Turbo Drop rides, arranged in a square-footprint with a crowning marquee and pyramid joining the four rides at their peaks.

Sixteen new LED lights were installed on Power Tower before the 2012 season.Ride specifications Height: 300 ft Drop height: 240 ft Top speed: 50 mph G-force: min -1.0 g, max +5.0 Ride Duration: 45 sec Capacity: 1,700 rides per hour Thrill Rating: 5ValleyfairPower Tower at Valleyfair is a multi-tower attraction featuring a pair of Turbo Drop rides and a single Space Shot ride, arranged in a triangular-footprint with a crowning marquee joining the three rides at their peaks.
