Still Europe's only stand up roller coaster - Shockwave is a unique ride that features a quartet of inversions and a top speed of over 50 mph.
Shockwave has a large lift hill of over 120 feet, the descent from which generates much of the speed needed for this roller coaster to maintain its powerful momentum. You'll soon encounter a loop, an incredible Zero G Roll, and two corkscrews - not forgetting you'll be standing up of course!
The experience lasts just over a minute and a half, pushing your body through forces of over 4G - so you best hold on tight.
