.:.SlingShot

Imagine innocently lying on your back, facking the sky, and all of a sudden being winged 275ft in the air, only to plummet back down to Earth and do it all over again! To put that in perspective, at the apex of your launch, you are roughly as high as the observation tower on the Eiffel Tower!

Central Tip: With a little bit of team work, you and your partner can get the circular capsole spinning in the air! And a great ab workout!

if you haven't rode it how do you know if it is scary or not and i've not rode it for one reason and one reason only and that is because you have to pay 15 dollars to ride it and that is with their special going on

It's not as scary as it looks. It's actually a lot of fun. Don't ride it in the afternoon though, the sun in your eyes is awful and you're strapped in so tight you really can't do anything about it.

I was a ride operator on this ride the year it opened. That is one sweet ride! Park policy stipulates that each ride must be run once each morning to test for errors before guests were allowed on, but Slingshot is built such that it will break if it is launched without someone in it, so we frequently got to ride for free in the morning. I can't count how many times I've ridden it. And the thrill never went away. It rocks!

P.S. Kick your legs just right and you can get that thing to flip like crazy. We frequently got it to flip upwards of 20 times.

Yeah, usually in the mornings you can ride it for only $5. As the crowd increases, towards the peak of the day, the price does the same [usually increments of $5 until it reaches $25].

Yesterday Auqust 1st I Went To Kinqs Island With On Of My Friends She Thinks Im Crazy Cause I Went On Extreme Skydiver By Myself,Your Hoisted 153 Feet Above Ground,And Dive At Speeds Up To 60 Miles Per Hour The Tickets For That Cost $15 Each
I Also Rode Slinq Shot And The Tickets Were On Sale For $10 Each Im Not Sure How Lonq Thats Gonna Last Or If It Was Just For That Day Its Not As Scary As It Looks You Know When You Are About To Launch Up Because They Tell You When You Hear Us Say All Clear Get Ready To Launch Up When Your Up In The Air You Do Flip Over Water But Its Very Fun.
My Friend Thinks Im Crazy Anyways Because Im Not Scared To Ride Any Ride There.But Take My Advice From An 8th Grader You Should Ride It.! :)

I take advantage of this one when they drop the price I rode it for $5, not a bad deal!
