MaXair (ride)
maXair is a Huss Park Attractions Giant Frisbee ride at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio, United States. It is one of two HUSS Giant Frisbees in the United States, the other being Delirium at Kings Island. It is located near the front of the park near Troika, GateKeeper, and Kiddy Kingdom.

Ride experience
At the start of the cycle, a movable floor drops to allow clearance for the ride to move. After that, the ride begins to swing back and forth as the circular gondola rotates, gaining more height and speed with each swing. At the peak, riders reach a height of  above the ground although the structure of the ride is only   tall. The pendulum motion propels riders back and forth at  up to an arc of 120 degrees, making it one of the fastest non-coaster rides at Cedar Point. At the end of the cycle, the pendulum gradually slows to a stop and the gondola stops rotating. Once the pendulum and gondola are parked at the loading position, the floor rises and the restraints release.

maXair is one of several rides at Cedar Point that require glasses to be secured with an athletic strap. Loose articles may be brought into the queue, but must be secured in small cubbies located around the gondola on the loading platform.

Riders are secured with a ratcheting shoulder harness and a backup seatbelt between the legs. In addition to the seatbelt, the restraints contain sensors which will not allow the ride to be started unless all 50 harnesses have been closed past a certain limit, which is indicated by a green light near each seat.
