The idea to bring a coaster to the family entertainment complex off of Hall Road is more than 10 years in the making.
“We saved this spot back here for 10 years, looked at it, studied it,” owner Rick Iceberg said. “Now that it’s here, we’re excited it’s finally done.”
Iceberg bought the roller coaster from New Jersey, brought it back here in trucks, and it was assembled on-site this fall and winter. Shoreview Electric rewired the entire roller coaster and installed all new state of the art LED lights.
In all, the coaster takes you up 36 feet, drops you down twice and includes a loop, hence the name.
The new attraction has definitely caused some buzz.
“It looks fun, I would definitely try it,” Katie Blake of Armada said.
“Cedar Point is kind of a drive, it’s nice to have something like this close by,” Aaron Walkowski, of Armada, said.
The Loop is just part of a $5 million, five-year expansion of the complex. Iceberg said to expect even more twists and turns in the years to come.
