Skyhawk at Cedar Point is an exhilarating swing ride that offers a fresh take on the classic swing experience. Standing 103 feet tall, this attraction features two large, 84-foot-long swinging arms that accommodate up to 20 passengers on each side. As riders are seated, they are propelled forward and backward, gaining speed and height with each swing. The ride utilizes innovative pneumatic technology, allowing it to reach speeds of up to 65 mph and send riders soaring more than 12 stories high. The sensation of wind rushing past and the view from such heights make for a thrilling experience, transforming the traditional notion of a swing set into an adrenaline-pumping adventure.
