Whirlwind is a spinning roller coaster at Seabreeze Amusement Park in Rochester, New York. Riders sit back to back in four-seat cars that rotate freely as they travel through steep drops and tight, angled curves.
History
The ride is a Maurer Rides SC 2000 spinning coaster manufactured in 2000. Before coming to Seabreeze it traveled the fair circuit in Spain with the Fraguas family under the name Cyber Space, painted orange and silver. It was repainted blue and yellow and opened at Seabreeze in 2004.
RCDB lists the track at 1,391 feet long and 51 feet high, with a top speed of 37 mph, no inversions and a ride time of about 1 minute 10 seconds. A chain lift raises the cars, and the ride's capacity is 930 riders per hour. Riders must be at least 48 inches tall.
