	Centennial Screamer ~~is on the move. At~~ the end of ~~Lagoon's 2017 season, Screamer was closed~~ and ~~dismantled~~. ~~One of~~ Lagoon~~'s Facebook followers asked if~~ the ride ~~was being removed~~. ~~Lagoon responded~~ that the ride ~~is being moved~~ to the ~~north end of~~ the ~~park to make room for~~ a new ~~and larger restroom for the South end~~ of the ~~park~~.		Lagoon moved Centennial Screamer to the north end of the part between [[Samurai]] and [[Cannibal]]. This move also brought some improvements to the ride. Lagoon created a new raised cement pad and pathway around the ride. This eliminated the old steps and platform that used to surround the ride and made it more accessible to those in wheelchairs. The backdrop for the ride also went away after the move and a new sign was placed in front of the ride.

	Centennial Screamer ~~was one of two rides installed at~~ Lagoon in 1987 ~~to celebrate~~ the park's 100th ~~operating season~~.		'''Centennial Screamer''' is a Huss Enterprise ride brought to Lagoon in 1987 as part of the park's 100th year celebration.

	The ride consists of 20 cars around a wheel. When you first enter the ride the wheel is in a horizontal position. Once the doors are shut and the latches checked the ride begins to rotate in a clockwise direction gaining speed until riders are held in place by centrifugal force. At this point the arm attached to the wheel begins to slowly raise to a vertical position (87°) sending riders upside down.		==Ride Description==

			The ride consists of 20 cars around a wheel. When you first enter the ride the wheel is in a horizontal position. Once the doors are shut and the latches checked the ride begins to rotate in a clockwise direction gaining speed until riders are held in place by centrifugal force. At this point the arm attached to the wheel begins to slowly raise to an almost vertical position (87°) sending riders upside down.

	While the ride looks very repetitive and nauseating, the ride experience is very different. Most passengers find the ride very enjoyable and smooth.		While the ride looks very repetitive and nauseating, the ride experience is very different. Most passengers find the ride very enjoyable and smooth.

	One of the most interesting aspects to this ride is the lack of safety harnesses. A couple of bars on both sides helps give the feeling of being "locked in", but there are no seat belts or lap bars. Through some well designed engineering, a persons body weight and the centrifugal force in motion are almost equal creating a feeling of weightlessness while ensuring that you remain in your seat.

	~~The ride is commonly called just "Screamer", "You've got to be kidding me", and "No way, I'm not riding that!".~~		==2008 Update==

	In 2008 Lagoon repainted the space backdrop adding the name of the ride to it and a spaceship. They also removed the lighted Screamer sign that used to sit on top of the backdrop.
