Supreme Scream

Supreme Scream

Supreme Scream is a vertical ascending and descending amusement thrill ride located at Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park, USA and was designed and manufactured by S&S Power, Inc. of Utah.

It opened to the general public on July 3, 1998 as the tallest "Turbo Drop" type amusement ride in the world. It is currently the tallest ride of its kind in the world. (See Turbo Drop)

The ride consists of three individual Turbo Drop model towers arranged in a triangular footprint; the three towers joined at their peaks by a 60-foot tall pyramidal crown and marquee.

The entire structure is 312-feet tall from the base to the top of the structure (325-feet including topping flagpole) and is the tallest free-standing structure in Orange County. Supreme Scream carries 12 riders per tower in octagonal carriages upward at a speed of 8 mph before pausing for a brief moment at a height of 252 feet. Utilizing pneumatics paired with a pulley system, the ride carriages are then accelerated downward faster than a true free-fall to attain a top speed of 50 mph -- exposing riders to a maximum G-force of 4 and negative G-force of -2.5.

Tagline: "30 Stories Up. 3 Seconds Down."

Mike Clark is a current shift leader at supreme scream and is known for being a prick.
