Deep Down In The Ground To Go 'Round & 'Round

Featured Replies

I remember reading about the construction of Cedar Point's Space Spiral. When it was built, there weren't a lot of "tower rides" and I believe they needed to make one continuous pour of concrete to fill the deep hole needed for its support. Now, WindSeeker is being installed at both CP & KI. I know that CP's water table is a bit higher than property in Mason, OH. Maybe there are new ideas as to how these things are "grounded".

So.....

My question is....

How deep did they need to go with the supports for #1 - Space Spiral #2 - Drop Zone #3 - WindSeeker (both parks)?

From the Space Spiral spiel, "Hello, and welcome to Space Spiral. You are about to take a journey 285 ft up the spiral, the tower it self is 330 ft tall with a foundation going 30 ft below ground level. ..."
