VertiGo was a short-lived 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 only operated for two months and was closed at the end of the 2001 season.
On January 14, 2002, one of the three towers toppled to the ground during the off-season.[3] It was later 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.
