Statement about the Six Flags-Cedar Fair merger Click here for our statement about how wiki content will change following the Six Flags-Cedar Fair merger.
In 1993, Funtime Incorporated, the owners of the Geauga Lake park, opened a first-of-its-kind attraction in North America. This attraction would be a Top Spin manufactured by the German company HUSS.
The ride would continue to operate with the same name throughout the parks history. It would operate throughout the Premier Parks, Six Flags, and Cedar Fair ownerships of the park.
On September 21, 2007, Cedar Fair announced the ride's park would close, only operating the water park on the opposing side of the lake. Texas Twister was not demolished, but relocated to California's Great America where it would open as Firefall for the 2008 season. The ride would later be closed and demolished on October 30, 2016 due to Top Spins being discontinued.
Ride experience[]
The ride was a standard Top Spin, and riders would sit on a gondola that would be spun around by two arms located on the side of the gondola. On the bottom of the ride, water jets would splash up, giving the riders the effect that they might get wet.
