Sledge Hammer offers a very unique riding experience and firmly added to the great collection of "flat" thrill rides at Canada's Wonderland. As the ride begins, the arms are almost immediately at full speed and within seconds riders are flung into the air. After traveling for a couple of revolutions in the air, riders are then plunged nearly eighty feet back down toward the ground. During the jumps, the seats tip to what feels like near vertical.
