Double Shot (ride)

A S&S Worldwide Double Shot tower ride at Wild Adventures

Double Shot is a type of amusement ride manufactured by S&S Worldwide.

The ride is a drop tower type attraction that uses compressed air to rapidly propel riders up the tower then gently lower them with a series of air-cushioned bounces back to the loading platform.

The ride is very similar to the Space Shot ride, also manufactured by S&S, but the Double Shot features an extra "shot" while riders are falling down after the first one.
