Space shuttle
Thrilling in more ways than one
With a tower height of 58m, Space shuttle features the highest available capacity of a single tower combining shot and drop movements.
28 passengers are catapulted 51m high before falling suddenly back down the tower. The gondola can be shot up at the same speed and acceleration as it comes down, it can be driven up and down in any way desired, it can be stopped anywhere and it can bounce smoothly on a cushion of air. The lift and the freefall movement, with an acceleration of up to 3.5g, creates extreme feelings of speed as well as outstanding moments of weightlessness.
The ride is perfectly suited to special theming which is impressively demonstrated, for example, by the visual impact of a rocket launch tower combined with a full size model of an Ariane 4 rocket.
Space shuttle, with its outstanding performance, guarantees high thrill ride experiences using a minimum of space. It’s the ultimate tower ride for the ultimate thrill seeker.
