Xtreme Skyflyer (known as RipCord at Carowinds[3] ) is a Skycoaster at several Six Flags parks. The Carowinds and Kings Island models opened in 1995, while the Canada's Wonderland and Kings Dominion models opened in 1996 followed by California's Great America which opened their model in 1997.[4][5] In order to ride the attraction, guests must pay an extra fee. As of 2020, this attraction changed from its 48" height restriction to 42" across all parks.
On February 8, 2024, it was announced that Xtreme Skyflyer would permanently shut down at Canada's Wonderland for future park expansion. [6]
