Housed inside the iconic Cave of the Winds Mountain Park, the Terror-dactyl is a heart-pounding, first of its kind thrill ride that features a large swing that launches guests into a 200-foot-tall canyon at a whopping 100 miles per hour! As per the Cave of the Winds’ website, “Once you are securely strapped in, you will free fall over 150 feet into breathtaking Williams Canyon. Your shrieks and laughs will echo through the canyon, and as you swing back and forth over the canyon floor, you’ll be planning to ride the Terror-dactyl again!” In addition to the “G-forces on this ride” that will “knock you silly” and the “free-fall drop will have you laughing and praying for your life at the same time,” this Cave of the Winds attraction offers stunning one-of-a-kind views that you cannot find anywhere else (if you are able to keep your eyes open, that is)!
