Fiddler's Fling

Fiddler's Fling (known as Centrifuge in Santa Clara) is a Schwarzkopf Calypso ride located in County Fair (Action Zone in Santa Clara) which debuted with both Great America parks in 1976 as an opening-day attraction.

History
Original site plans for County Fair did not feature Fiddler's Fling. In a very early 1972 sketch of County Fair, the land where Fiddler's Fling is located was originally not intended to be used and instead was going to be reserved for a 'future Swiss Bob' ride (potentially a Bayern Kurve model which Yukon Yahoo was). It is unknown when the ride was added into the plans.

Fiddler's Fling debuted as an opening day ride at both Great America parks in 1976. Both Fiddler's Flings were the first in their model line to be produced by Schwarzkopf.

Around 1995, Fiddler's Fling in Santa Clara was renamed to Centrifuge and dropped its original theme, instead being repainted yellow and its station house being demolished in favor for a tent.
