Power Tower

Power Tower is a thrill ride located at two Six Flags parks in the US, Cedar Point and Valleyfair.

Hydraulic cylinders at the base of the tower provide an extra measure of safety in case of a ride malfunction.

[2] Sixteen new LED lights from Chauvet Professional were installed on Power Tower before the 2012 season.

The ride was originally intended to be 300 feet (91 m) tall, but the Federal Aviation Administration prohibits Valleyfair's rides from being built taller than 275 feet (84 m) because of the nearby Flying Cloud Airport.

[5] [6][7] Cedar Point's Power Tower was the tallest vertical ascending and descending thrill ride upon debut up until July 1998, when Supreme Scream opened at Knott's Berry Farm.
