| The Looping Starship would take you back and forth and ever winding arcs until completing thrilling 360 degree verticle loops. The loop itself is 84 feet and you will experience 2g's (double your weight) upside down. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Fifty passengers at once could ride this attraction. Starting with a gentle rocking motion, the starship would eventually gain momentum until it reached a full loop. There is suspense as the riders don't know if the first full turn would take them backward or forward. Experiencing speeds up to 14.6 metres per second at the circumference, passengers were also treated to relative weightlessness at the top of the loop -- a sensation experienced in real space travel. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
