About Tony Hawk's Big Spin

The park's eighth roller coaster, and first new all-ages attraction since 2003, this Gerstlauer spinning coaster will stand 53 feet tall, with a top speed of 35 mph. Riders site four to a spinning car that moves independently, making each ride unique. -- Last edited by mark geron

This ride was just terrible. It gave me a headache from the banging of my head on the seat, it had no thrill value whatsoever, and was a two hour line through a rather un-interesting queue that just advertised Six Flags. It sucked. - Jack Williams

Tony Hawk's Big Spin is one of the best family roller coasters I've experienced. It spins alot more than most other spinning wild mouse roller coasters. Don't bother waiting more than 30 to 45 minutes for this ride, as it isn't worth it. For maximum spinning, offset the weight of the car as much as possible. - AJ Hummel
