SlingShot ride • Cedar Point

SlingShot ride – Two riders in an open capsule are pulled upward by a cable from each of these two towers. The riders reach a height of 360-feet and a speed of 62 miles-per-hour. $25 per short ride, per 48-inch or higher rider.

The iPhone camera has a wide angle lens. This shot required a telephoto lens and a shutter burst sequence to capture the capsule at its ever-so-brief peak height. Decided to make this imaginary image instead, and rename the ride as BugZapper • Please click photo to enlarge.
