'Spike It' will be a drop tower ride emulating
the classic football touchdown celebration
The new ride will join Forward Pass zipline
and Red Zone giant wheel at Play-Action Plaza
CANTON,
Ohio, May 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Hall of Fame
Village, a division of Hall of Fame Resort & Entertainment
Company ("HOFV" or the "Company")(NASDAQ: HOFV, HOFVW), today
announces that it will add a new amusement ride to its Play-Action
Plaza this summer. The newest football-themed attraction named
'Spike It,' will be a 40-foot-tall drop tower ride emulating the
classic touchdown celebration.
Riders will experience the exuberance of 'spiking the ball' but
in a very unique way. You get to be the ball. The ride
starts by hoisting you skyward, pausing at the top, and then
spiking you back toward the ground until the magnetic brakes
ultimately slow the ride at the end. Six people at-a-time can
experience this sensation of weightlessness and rapidly changing
forces.
"We're looking forward to offering this newest attraction for
our guests to enjoy. Spike It adds to our expanding
array of outdoor activities within Play-Action Plaza, which already
includes the Half-time bar area and patio, open amphitheater, a
walking path, as well as the Red Zone and Forward Pass rides," said
Seth Cooper, HOFV VP of
Operations.
The Red Zone giant wheel features 20 gondolas that rotate
nine stories high, offering unrivaled views of The Village and
surrounding areas. The Forward Pass zipline lets you soar
through the air like a pass from quarterback to wide receiver. For
updates on the upcoming Spike It ride and to purchase
tickets for the Red Zone and Forward Pass, visit
