Valleyfair Announces RipTide for 2005

Published August 12th, 2004

Calling all thrill seekers! Valleyfair is pleased to announce the addition of RipTide - 720 DEGREES OF ATTITUDE for the 2005 Season.

RipTide is a suspended Top Spin ride, designed by Huss Manufacturing of Germany. Its floorless gondola seats 38 passengers, back to back. The ride reaches a height of 59 feet and completes 13 full 360-degree orbits every 60 seconds in both directions. As an added feature, a fountain at the base of the ride creates a beautiful display and with variable programming, can shoot high enough to get riders wet – even soaked. During specified rotations, the ride carriage will deflect water blasts out onto the midway in front. So onlookers better beware.

RipTide was developed for Knott’s Berry Farm in California for the 2004 Season. Video of the ride can be accessed at www.valleyfair.com.
