Looping Starship

Looping Starship

The Looping Starship (also can be called "Space Shuttle") is a flat ride by Intamin AG of Switzerland. The concept of the ride is basically a swinging ship that can spin a complete 360-degree revolution. The ride can be very scary at times, especially if the park enables the feature to temporarily suspend the ride upside down. Unlike similar rides like the Sky Flyer, Kamikaze, Skymaster, and Ranger, the Looping Starship inverts its passengers rather slowly and deliberately.

The "Looping Starship" ride has been modified so instead of resembling a Space Shuttle it instead resembles a fighter jet, Egyptian cargo ship, and also one has been modified to look like a Looney Tunes ACME Rocket. Most parks require riders to be at least 48 inches tall or more.

Looping Starships were manufactured as both traveling models and permanent models. Intamin AG no longer produces the ride, however.
