Afterburner (ride)

Afterburner (ride)

The Afterburner (Sold as the Fireball in the U.S) is a ride produced by KMG, with strong similarities to the Huss Frisbee. The standard version of the ride is designed to travel on two trailers, and features 6 gondolas seating 4 passengers each, while larger static models feature 8 gondolas.

Due to the ride's popularity, two further editions of the ride have been produced, both of which are designed to travel. The Freak Out is a smaller version, designed to travel on one trailer, and featuring only 4 gondolas. The XXL is much larger, reaching 47 metres at full swing, and features 4 gondolas with 5 seats each.
