In August 2001, Cedar Point opened Vertigo, an S&S Power attraction. Three towers standing 265 feet tall, with a central gondola connected to the towers by cables that riders are strapped into, then ejected above the height of the structure itself. Vertigo was located in Cedar Point's Challenge Park, and riders would pay $10 each per ride.
Once the park closed, Cedar Point's maintenance team removed the center car and cables that supported the towers. Due to the Point's location on Lake Erie, and Ohio's harsh winter, the towers collapsed. This area was replaced with Extreme Trampoline the following season, and in 2008, the Sky Scraper ride was installed in it's place.
Similar attractions exist today at Six Flags Great Adventure, Six Flags Magic Mountain, and Knott's Berry Farm.
