Similar to the WindSeeker rides at several other Cedar Fair parks, SteelHawk sees guests swinging in circles around a central tower in a vertigo-inducing variation on the classic "Chair-O-Plane" attraction. Riders reach speeds of up to 30 miles per hour but still have time to take in panoramic views of Worlds of Fun and beyond.

The ride previously operated Knott's Berry Farm under the WindSeeker name.
