Super Shot leaves 'em a bit scared
Saturday, August 01, 2009 | 1 comment(s)
What do you mean the Zipper isn’t here?
That was a common comment from fair enthusiasts as they wandered around the rides in hunt of their favorite midway attraction at the Coos County Fair.
People looking for a scare found another way to zip through the air.
The Super Shot, added to the Butler Amusement Inc.’s arsenal of rides four years ago, was the hands-down winner of a poll taken Friday. Ninety percent of those polled picked the Super Shot as the scariest ride.
Haven’t heard of it?
Riders buckle in and the circular couch slowly rises up a five-story pole. Then without notice it drops startled riders in a free fall to within a couple feet of the platform.
