Whirlwind is a family spinning roller coaster at Waldameer Park in Erie, Pennsylvania. It opened on July 3, 2020, and was built by the Italian manufacturer SBF Visa Group as one of its MX608 Park Model A spinning coasters.
The ride runs several times around a gently sloped figure-eight track, and its cars rotate freely as they go. A booster wheel lift raises the single train of four cars, each seating four riders. It is a smaller companion to the park's larger spinning coaster, Steel Dragon.
