VertiGo was a Sky Sling built by S&S Worldwide formerly located at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio, USA. It only operated during the 2001 season.^[1]

History

VertiGo opened in August 2001.^[2] The attraction operated for two months and was closed at the end of the 2001 season.

On January 14, 2002, one of the three towers collapsed during the off-season.^[3] It was later determined to be the result of vortex shedding, which results when slow, steady winds are sustained for long periods of time.^[4] VertiGo was dismantled prior to the 2002 season.
