Super shot (ride)


Super Shot is a type of drop tower amusement ride made. There are 12 seats per car. The ride ascends the tower by cable with passengers facing outwards from the ride. After the car reaches the top, it drops rapidly. As the car reaches the bottom of the tower, it slows through magnetic or air powered brakes.

Accidents

In 2016, a 47-year-old female was injured while riding the Super Shot in Frederick County, Virginia. Her seat had been improperly installed and became detached from the ride, causing her to fall 40 feet.
