Aftershock (roller coaster)
- Aftershock (roller coaster)
"Aftershock" is a Giant Inverted Boomerang steel roller coaster manufactured by Vekoma. It was purchased from Six Flags Great America and moved to Silverwood Theme Park in northern Idaho in the United States. This ride is a modified version of Vekoma's popular Boomerang roller coasters. Silverwood began construction March 2008. The ride officially opened to the public July 21, 2008.
Layout and Experience
The ride begins when the train slowly backs out of the station and up the vertical lift hill, pulled by the catch car. Once reaching the top of the lift, with riders facing straight down, the train is released and goes through the station and heads into the cobra roll (also sometimes called a "butterfly roll" or "boomerang") inversion. This element contains two of the three inversions found on the ride going forward. After twisting through the cobra roll inversion, riders then go through a single (one) vertical loop and hit the second vertical spike of the ride. Then, a catch car there pulls the train up the second vertical tower, this time with riders facing the sky when they're at the top of the tower. After the train reaches the top of the tower, it is released to coast backward through the layout. The train then goes through the station and heads up the first vertical lift hill again, where it is caught once more and then very slowly lowered back into the station.
