Cork Screw

Rob's Top 9
You'll flip over this coaster! The Corkscrew roller coaster at Cedar Point amusement park/resort was the first coaster ever to span a midway and the first to flip its passengers upside down three times! Debuting in America's Bicentennial year of 1976, this patriotic scream machine proudly displays its red, white and blue trains as they twist and turn above the crowds standing in awe on the midway below.
