Chaos

Chaos

You spin. You whirl. You rock. You roll. What is it??!! It’s Chaos – a triple-spinning thrill ride that opened at Cedar Point amusement park/resort in 1997. Rated the "Best New Product for a Major Amusement Park Ride" at the time it was introduced at the Annual Convention and Trade Show of the International Association of Amusement Parks & Attractions (IAAPA), Chaos is the latest in a new generation of midway spinning rides. Chaos’ three-dimensional rocking, rolling and rotating motion with a spinning/tilting platform whirls riders in a 360-degree movement that turns sideways, upside down and every way but right side up. You won’t know where you are!

In ten years, Chaos has given nearly 5 million rides. In 2006, 340,351 guests rocked and rolled on Chaos. Riders must be at least 48 inches tall.
