An S&S Double Shot tower ride at
Wild Adventures
Double Shot is a type of
amusement ride manufactured by
S&S - Sansei Technologies .

The ride is a
drop tower type attraction that uses
compressed air to rapidly propel riders up the tower then gently lower them with a series of air-cushioned bounces back to the loading platform.

The ride is very similar to the
Space Shot ride, also manufactured by S&S, but the Double Shot features an extra "shot" while riders are falling down after the first one.
