The Head Spin is a ride at Geauga Lake. It was built in 1996, and is one of the many Vekoma "boomerangs". Head Spin is located in the 50's Midway, next to Thunder Alley Speedway. Its original name was the Mind Eraser. - This ride is rumored to be going to another Cedar Fair theme park.
Head Spin was closed along with all of Geauga Lake's coasters when Cedar Fair announced plans to re-open Geauga Lake as a water park only.
[edit] Ride Layout
The ride is short and . The train passes through the station, enters a Cobra roll element, then travels through a loop. Upon exiting the loop, the train runs up a second lift hill, parallel to the first. Once out of momentum, the train is towed to the top of the lift hill, and is held for several seconds before being released; traveling through the roller coaster in reverse before returning to the station.
