And you'll get a feeling for just how tall the new thrill ride at Valleyfair is going to be. Valleyfair Family Amusement Park today announced its capital expansion plans for the operating season.
The centerpiece of the expansion plans is Power Tower, a thrill ride that reaches an unbelievable height of feet. That's a ride even Wild Thing - Valleyfair's foot hyper coaster - can look up to!
Power Tower is a unique three-tower structure, with a pyramid top, that combines two thrill rides in one. Each tower carries up to 12 passengers at a time, in groups of four, sitting in outward-facing seats, with their backs to the massive steel tower. Riders sit in open-air seats with over-the-shoulder harnesses that leave legs dangling in space - and hearts dangling in anticipation.
Topping out at feet, it's taller by nearly 75 feet than Wild Thing. That's as high as a story building and almost as tall as the Foshay Tower in downtown Minneapolis. Two of the giant towers lift passengers from the loading position to the top of the ride in less than 25 seconds. At the top of the fourth launch is when you get the biggest thrill as you make a dead-stop at the top of the track, dangling in the air before being dropped back down for the 5th launch.
Steel Venom is a terrific, unique ride you need to check out when coming to Valleyfair. The tallest and fastest ride at Valleyfair, Wild Thing is sure to impress. The top point of the coaster stands at feet and includes a first drop of feet. The first drop is a degree angle and you will reach speeds of up to 74MPH. In addition, Wild thing has the longest low-gravity section of coaster in the world! When you think thrill rides you typically think coasters. With that said, Valleyfair has some terrific thrill rides outside of the coaster rides.
One such ride is the Xtreme Swing , with the name saying it all. The structure of this ride is feet high, but the rider will reach heights of feet above the midway. This ride has two giant swing arms and will reach speeds of 60 miles per hour as you swing back-and-forth. The second coaster that came to Valleyfair, after High Roller, the Corckscrew has been entertaining guests since This coaster includes 1, feet of tubular track that loops and twists throughout.
Riders can spin and turn throughout, reaching speeds of 50MPH. This state-of-the-art adrenaline factory features three towers.
One blue tower rockets riders feet into the air. Two red towers slowly bring riders up to the top of the foot tall tower. Once you've reached the peak, you can take a second to take in your surroundings and enjoy the park's scenery.
