Cannon Ball

Cannon Ball, Wooden roller coaster at Lake Winnepesaukah, Georgia, US

Description

Cannon Ball is a wooden roller coaster at Lake Winnepesaukah featuring an out-and-back track design with a maximum height of about 70 feet. The ride spans roughly 2,200 feet and moves riders through a series of turns and drops at moderate speeds.

History

Built by Philadelphia Toboggan Company in 1967, this ride became a major addition to the park's attractions. Since its opening, the wooden coaster has remained largely unchanged, maintaining its original construction style.

Culture

Families from Georgia and nearby regions have shared moments of excitement on these wooden tracks for generations. Many visitors recall their first roller coaster experience here, making it a memorable part of their childhood.

Practical

Riders must meet a minimum height of 48 inches to board, with seating arranged in cars attached to two separate trains. Visit during the warmer months when the park operates at full capacity and lines tend to move smoothly.

Did you know?

The track features a distinctive 45-degree maximum angle that creates a gentler sensation compared to modern steel coasters. This 1960s design generates a nostalgic riding experience that visitors continue to seek out today.
