Slammer is an S&S Power Sky Swat at Thorpe Park, Chertsey, UK. It is one of only two Sky Swats in the world, alongside Catapult (previously SWAT! At Six Flags AstroWorld, Texas - moved to Six Flags New England, Agawam, Massachusetts).
Slammer was one of two new rides for 2005, along with the S&S 'Screamin' Swing' Rush. However, its opening was delayed 10 days to 26 March 2005 due to technical difficulties.
After riders take their seat on the ride, the over-the-shoulder restraints are pulled down. The ride is then raised, and then rotates around a pivot.
