The Head Spin is a ride at Geauga Lake. It was built in 1996, and is one of the many Vekoma "boomerangs". Head Spin is located in the 50's Midway, next to Thunder Alley Speedway.
[edit] Ride Layout
The ride is short and simple, yet intense. The ride begins when the train is pulled backwards from the station and up a lift hill, before being released. The train passes through the station, enters a Cobra roll element, then travels through a loop. Upon exiting the loop, the train runs up a second lift hill, parallel to the first. Once out of momentum, the train is towed to the top of the lift hill, and is held for several seconds before being released; traveling through the roller coaster in reverse before returning to the station.
