This is the Carolina Skytower and Carowinds near Charlotte, NC. It's 262ft/80m tall gyro observation tower from Intamin. A Gyro observation tower is one that rotates as it ascends and decends a tower in the center of the ride. This particular tower is called a Gyro 1200 and it was built in 1973 and is one of only three original attractions that are still opperating when the park first opened on March 31, 1973.
