==Valleyfair== [[File:Power Tower and Xtreme Swing.jpg|thumb|160px|right|View of Power Tower at [[Valleyfair]], with [[Xtreme Swing]] in front.]] Power Tower at [[Valleyfair]] is a multi-tower attraction featuring a pair of [[Turbo Drop]] rides and a single [[Space Shot (ride)|Space Shot]] ride, arranged in a triangular-footprint with a crowning marquee joining the three rides at their peaks. Power Tower is the tallest ride in Minnesota. The ride was originally intended to be 300 feet (91 m) tall, but the [[Federal Aviation Administration]] prohibits Valleyfair's rides from being built taller than {{convert|275|ft|m}} because of the nearby [[Flying Cloud Airport]].<ref name="google">{{cite web|title=Park gets clearance for towering new thrill ride|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=eaJjAAAAIBAJ&pg=4834%2C8148040|publisher=Free Lance-Star|date=August 29, 1999|accessdate=November 1, 2013}}</ref> ===Ride specifications=== * Height: 275 ft (84 m) * Drop height: 250 ft (76 m) * Top Speed: 50 mph (80 km/h) * G-force: min -1.0 g, max +4.0 * Ride Duration: 45 sec * Capacity: 1,300 rides per hour * Thrill Rating: 5 <ref name="vf-pt">{{cite web |url=https://www.valleyfair.com/rides/Thrill-Rides/Power-Tower | title=Power Tower | publisher=Valleyfair | accessdate=July 17, 2014}}</ref><ref name="ultimate">{{cite web|title=Power Tower to Open at Valleyfair for 2000|url=http://www.ultimaterollercoaster.com/news/archives/1999/stories/081899_01.shtml|publisher=Ultimate Roller Coaster|date=August 18, 1999|accessdate=November 1, 2013}}</ref>
