Space Spiral, Observation tower at Cedar Point, Sandusky, Ohio, US.
The Space Spiral featured a double-decker cabin that rotated while ascending to 330 feet, providing views of Lake Erie and Cedar Point grounds.
Built by Willy Bühler Space Towers in 1965 for $350,000, the Space Spiral operated at Cedar Point until its demolition in September 2012.
The Space Spiral represented an era of engineering advancement in amusement parks, marking Cedar Point's expansion during the mid-20th century.
Visitors could access panoramic views from both levels of the cabin, which completed a full rotation during the ascent and descent sequence.
The attraction fell in exactly 17 seconds during its controlled demolition, making space for the construction of the GateKeeper roller coaster.
