Wind Rider is a swing ride at Cliff's Amusement Park in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Its chairs travel in a circle, tilting slightly, while they are lifted 115 feet into the air.
The park added Wind Rider during an expansion between 2012 and 2016. It stands inside the footprint of the New Mexico Rattler wooden coaster, on the spot once used by the park's Scrambler. It was one of several additions in that period, along with the Happy Swing and Doggie-Go-Round in Kiddyland and a larger Watermania play structure.
The park lists Wind Rider among its thrill rides and says riders should expect a variety of motion forces. Riders must be at least 48 inches tall.
