The  Pandemonium <\/em>opened in 2008 on and around the former site of the Cliffhanger<\/em>. It was originally named the Tony Hawk Big Spin<\/em> for the extreme sport athlete, Tony Hawk, and his \u201cbig spin\u201d skateboarding maneuver.  The name was changed in 2010 to The  Pandemonium<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ride consists of eight single car units with four seats each. Each unit is mounted on a round base that allows it to spin around in a 360 degree circle as it travels around the track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ride was built by Gerstlauer Amusement Rides of Germany at a cost of $6.5 million dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ride lift is 53 feet high with a 27-foot initial drop. The units travel around the 1,351 foot long at 31 mph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ride is designed for a throughput of 800 riders per hour with a ride run of 1 minutes and 51 seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Big Spin<\/em> is similar to other Tony Hawk\u2019s Big Spin<\/em> rides that opened the season before at Six Flags Fiesta Texas<\/em> and Six Flags Saint Louis<\/em>. The ride opened as Mr. Six\u2019s Pandemonium<\/em> at Six Flags New England<\/em> in 2005. Another Big Spin<\/em> opened at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom<\/em> in the 2008 season. The Texas, Fiesta Texas,<\/em> and St Louis rides are identical, while the Discovery Kingdom<\/em> ride varies somewhat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
