WhirlWind

WhirlWind is a steel roller coaster where individual cars spin on bearings as they travel along the track, creating controlled rotations for passengers. The ride uses an overhead restraint system and can move through 930 riders per hour at peak capacity.

The ride originally operated as Cyber Space in Spain before moving to Seabreeze in 2004 to become part of the park's collection. This relocation brought the spinning coaster technology to western New York and added to the park's roster of attractions.

The WhirlWind represents the evolution of roller coaster technology, introducing Rochester residents to the spinning coaster concept in the early 2000s.

Riders need to be at least 48 inches (122 cm) tall to board, which is the safety requirement for this attraction. It helps to know the ride is brief, making it ideal if you want to experience it multiple times in succession.

Each car contains an integrated brake system that keeps the spinning motion to around 20 rotations per minute. This balance between motion and restraint gives riders a predictable yet dynamic experience throughout their journey.
