Spinball Whizzer

Height
56 ft
Speed
38 mph
Length
1,476 ft
Riders climb a modest lift hill before being released into a chaotic series of hairpin turns and sudden drops designed to mimic the movement of a silver ball in a giant pinball machine. The four-person cars rotate freely based on weight distribution, ensuring that no two rides offer the exact same orientation or intensity of spin. Sharp, banked curves and rapid-fire transitions provide a disorienting sensation as the cars whip around the track’s intricate layout. The experience concludes with a series of final rotations that keep the momentum high until the magnetic brakes engage.
