SANDUSKY, Ohio —
On Wednesday morning, crews at Cedar Point removed the Space Spiral to make way for its record-breaking winged coaster, GateKeeper, which is set to open in May 2013.
The Space Spiral has been giving guests great memories since it opened in 1965. Officials at Cedar Point said they are sad to see it go, but they are excited about the future.
The demolition was organized by an expert third-party contractor. Workers calculated precisely where the tower would land and dug a large hole into the fall zone to cushion the impact of the cabin area.
Officials at Cedar Point said the demolition of the Space Spiral was executed safely and according to plan.
