The Booster is an amusement park ride made originally by HUSS Maschinenfabrik starting in 1998.
Boosters are an evolution of HUSS' Breakdance ride, and are a competitor of Mondial's Shake and Fabbri's Crazy Shake rides.[ citation needed] The basic movement is about the same as these rides, but the car is pivoted so that riders roll over sideways rather than flipped over.[ citation needed] They are also known to turn upside down much more frequently than a traditional Shake ride.[ citation needed] Most parks require riders to be at least 52 inches or taller.[ citation needed]
Although Boosters are popular with riders and regarded as one of HUSS' best attractions by enthusiasts, very few of these rides have been sold.

[1] Despite all this, the Booster is still being offered by HUSS Park Attractions.
As of January 2018, only three of these rides are known to have been built, [1] they are:
