Ride facts

Ride Duration: About 1 minute
Capacity: 12 riders per launch
Designer: S&S Original Amusements, Logan, Utah
Special Features: It takes about 45 seconds for riders to go to the summit, where they're yanked down with more velocity than a free fall to bounce on a cushion of air.
With legs dangling and nothing but empty space below, riders are slowly transported up a 180-foot tower over a period of about 45 seconds. Once at the summit, passengers are suspended briefly and rewarded with a one-of-a-kind, breathtaking view of Primm Valley.

But just as you begin to relax and take it all in, riders are suddenly plunged to the bottom in a 45-mph free fall. Near the base of the ride, the descent comes to an abrupt stop, and passengers bounce up and down several times on a cushion of air.

After about a minute of what can only be described as a "hair-raising experience," passengers are at last returned to earth.
