Cliff Hanger is a drop tower at Cliff's Amusement Park in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Riders are lifted slowly to the top of a 120-foot tower and then dropped in a free fall. Riders are held by overhead restraints.
The park added Cliff Hanger during an expansion between 2005 and 2010, when it also opened the Falling Star, Musik Express and Sidewinder. The park's history notes that the tower can be seen by passersby on the nearby freeway. The park's other tall rides include the 115-foot Wind Rider swing ride and the 80-foot New Mexico Rattler wooden coaster.
The park lists Cliff Hanger among its thrill rides and warns that riders feel very strong gravitational forces. Riders must be at least 48 inches tall, and guests of exceptional size may not be able to ride.
