Sledgehammer, Spinning amusement ride at Canada's Wonderland, Ontario, Canada.
The Sledgehammer features six claw-shaped vehicles with eight seats each, arranged around a central tower that lifts and spins riders through the air.
Opening in May 2003, the Sledgehammer marked a milestone as the first giant jumping machine in the world, introducing a new category of amusement rides.
The ride represents an evolution in Canadian entertainment technology, drawing visitors from across North America to experience its mechanical innovation.
Visitors need to be at least 137 centimeters tall to access the ride, which operates during regular park hours subject to weather conditions.
Each ride cycle extends for two minutes, combining vertical launches, rapid descents, and spinning motions that create different physical sensations.
