| Facts: | Tunnel through a limestone quarry cliff. |
| History: | Prior to the Rattler to Iron Rattler conversion, the Rattler had a 179' 7" lift hill dropping into a 124' drop at 61.4 degrees and achieving a speed of 65 mph. The track length at the time was 5080'. |
| | The Rattler was first built with a 166' drop. Over the following years the drop was reprofiled several times resulting in a 124' drop. The Rattler to Iron Rattler rebuild brought the drop back up to 171'. |
| Notes: | The Rattler closed on 8/4/2012, prior to the end of the season, so work could get underway for the Rattler to Iron Rattler conversion. During this conversion all the wooden track was replaced with a new prefabricated steel system -- turning this former wooden roller coaster into a steel hybrid roller coaster. |
