  • Shockwave


    Shockwave delivers what can only be described as a very disorienting ride experience. Riders are suspended along 6 arms (gondolas) with feet dangling. As the arms begin to rotate, the gondolas naturally pitch from the centrifugal forces, all while the entire arms spins the ride 60ft in the air. The thrill of seeing sky one second and being what seems to be inches from the pavement the next is totally exhilarating.
