The Corkscrew is a roller coaster at the Cedar Point amusement park in Sandusky, Ohio.
It consists of an elevated station that houses the patriotic cars, made in combinations of red & white, white & blue, and blue & white. They are designed in this manner because they debuted in 1976, the U.S. Bicentennial.
First, riders are carried up an 85 foot (26 m) lift hill, and dropped, gaining speed up to 48 m.p.h (77 km/h). It then goes through a vertical loop, coasts along a flat section of track, and then enters the corkscrew, at which point it is traveling at 38 m.p.h. (61 km/h). It completes two corkscrew loops, and coasts back into the station.
The ride is 2,050 feet (625 m) long, built on 5 acres (20,000 m²), rides for ~2 minutes, and has three 24 passenger trains.
