Witches' Wheel
The Witches’ Wheel provides a unique riding experience. Seated in special cars with "tandem seating," riders experience positive g’s – the feeling of being "pressed" into the seat as the giant wheel spins. The ride then lifts into the air to a near 90 degrees and riders are turned upside-down until the ride returns to the ground.
In 2008, Witches’ Wheel gave nearly 300,000 rides. Guests must be at least 54 inches tall to ride.
Rider Safety Guide
- Gondolas start out hanging from ride, then go to horizontal by centrifugal force of spinning ride, which then lifts to a vertical position, turning riders upside down. To enter ride, guest must maneuver into free swinging car suspended approximately one foot above the ground. Cabin door must remain closed at all times. Special access is via the exit gate. Signal for host to assist.
