SANDUSKY, Ohio — After nearly 20 years, Cedar Point says Wicked Twister will give its last ride in September.

The amusement park made the announcement in a YouTube video on Friday.

Guests have until Sept. 6 to ride Wicked Twister until it shuts down for good.

According to our sister station WKYC,  a spokesperson for Cedar Point did not provide details about the ride's removal, and referred to the park's blog which says the decision was made "as we prepare for future park improvements."

The blog also says there will be more "fun details to share" about the ride's last day, which will be revealed at a later date.

Since its opening in May 2002, Wicked Twister has given more than 16 million rides.
