Construction is complete and Tony Hawk's Big Spin is now open! 

Costing $6.5 million to build, Tony Hawk's Big Spin delivers a unique experience each time you sit in one of the 4-person cars all decked out in skateboard motif! Grab some serious airtime as you twist and turn in 360 rotations while grinding through two helixes, wild mouse turns, a camelback and much more on the rails of this 1,351-ft. steel coaster. Families with younger children find the ride's height requirement especially enticing, as Tony Hawk's Big Spin is suitable for kids at least 42" tall if they are riding with an adult, while kids 47" may ride alone. Tony Hawk's Big Spin stands at 53-ft., travels 31 mph and is in the Boom Town section of the park replacing The Wildcatter, which was previously torn down in October 2007.
