Sledgehammer

Sledge Hammer is a ride at Canada's Wonderland. The Huss ride was opened to the public on May 4, 2003, and continues to operate today. Sledge Hammer is also the world's first and only 'giant jumping machine'. The ride has had serious mechanical issues, causing repeated closures. History When the ride was first opened during the 2003 season, the ride attracted many guests and had almost no problems. Since the mid-2010s, the ride has been hampered with so many problems that it has been almost impossible to determine when the ride would be open. Canada's Wonderland has not stated exactly what is causing all the problems with the ride. Structure Sledge Hammer is mainly made out of four different parts. The first part is the main "tower". This is where most of the machinery is located (inside) and where everything is connected to each other. The second part, is the "claws" (there are six of them). These are where riders sit during the ride. The third part is the "arms" (once again, there are six of them). These are what hold the "claws" to the main "tower" and allow the "claws" to go up and down. The fourth part is a grey "block like" piece that hold everything together and helps get the "claws" up and down.
