[1] The SkyRide needed to be closed beginning in 2010 to build the Cheetah Hunt roller coaster,[2] which opened May 27, 2011.

The cabin then descends to a checkpoint structure where a total of three giant wheels, similar to those at each station, change the direction of the cable.

It is here that two employees (one monitoring the vehicles going in each direction) ensure that the cabins have enough momentum to carry themselves across the steel tracks above while making the 90-degree turn.

At each station (one at Cheetah Hunt Plaza, one at Stanleyville), a large wheel with a pulley-like groove rotates the direction in which the cable is moving.

The door is re-locked and the cabin is pushed hard enough to transfer it from the steel track to the moving cable.
