The Rocket is made up of three independent structural steel towers 217 feet tall. Two of the three towers are tracks for two very different thrill rides.

ROCKET BLAST OFF:
This ride accelerates guests (12 at a time) from ground level to 200 feet straight up in less than 3 seconds. The initial powered blast creates a force on the rider of 4.5 G and upon reaching the top position, guests are blasted downward with a 2 G-force. They are slowed by gradually increasing pressure as they enjoy several air-cushioned bounces up and down the tower.

ROCKET RE-ENTRY:
This ride is similar to the "Blast Off" but it works in the opposite direction. Guests are slowly raised to the top of the 200 foot tower in approximately 20-25 seconds and are then blasted downward. As they near the bottom of the tower they enjoy several air-cushioned bounces experiencing 4.5 G-force as they are slowed by gradually increasing pressure.

The Rocket is included with Ride and Season Passports.
