Shockwave is an Intamin stand-up roller coaster at Drayton Manor Theme Park.It was opened in 1994 and is the only stand-up coaster in Europe. It is the only stand-up roller coaster with a zero-g roll in the world. The ride was created as part of a two year £4 million project in 1993/1994 to build Splash Canyon with Shockwave.Fact|date=October 2008 The ride, which reaches 53mph and delivers up to 4 "g", features a lift hill up to convert|120|ft|m|abbr=on, then into an convert|80|ft|m|abbr=on drop and a medium size loop followed by a Zero G roll and then finishes with two corkscrews and a bend around back to the station. Shockwave is located in the 'Action Park' area next to G Force. In 1994 after the completion of the ride, neighbours complained that the final bend was too close to the edge of the property.Fact|date=October 2008 In fact it had been built as planned but local Councillors had not noticed the proximity to the boundary on the plans.cite web
