This classic looper has been shocking riders for more than four decades. In fact, just about everyone around here who loves crazy inversions got their start riding Shock Wave, a double-looped 60 mile per hour steel roller coaster.
Once you haul up 116 feet in the sky, get ready to drop more than 100 feet on your way to blasting through Shock Wave’s masterpiece elements, the famous - and famously terrifying - back to back loops. One after another in an insane never-ending inversion, these two loops will deliver a stunning 5.9 Gs. That’s nearly astronaut level G-force.
And how are you going to be held in your seat during all this? Well, firstly, the forces of gravity will keep you nice and snug. Shock Wave is one of the only looping roller coasters to employ only a lap bar. That means you’ll feel free as a bird, or a rocket ship leaving the atmosphere, as you are hurled around this slick track.
