In 1989  the word "wow" was taken to a new height on May 5, as the first coaster to break the 200 foot barrier opened. and people were stunned to see a large roller coaster like no other be built. Record books, number 1 spots, and more is what one of the highest ranked roller coaster can claim. Plunging riders down a 205 foot drop, and taking them on a not to scenic trip to Lake Erie, with a large amounts of airtime in between is just a days work for this beast.
