Detonator (Worlds of Fun)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Detonator made history when it first appeared in the Americana section of Worlds of Fun in Kansas City, Missouri as being the first space shot ride in the United States, as well as the first in the world to have a twin-tower form. Detonator launches riders 200 feet in the air only to fall right back down. In the transition, -1.5 G's are experienced.
