Big shot is the best S&S tower in the world. If you think the view is good from a 200-300ft tower, when you start below the ceiling of cluds and go above it, it is truly a great expierience.

They Had a Coaster planned that dove from the top all the way down to the ground.... that woulda been insane.


But the plans are currently on hold.

I know. X Scream has an OTSR when it does practically nothing when Top Thrill Dragster goes 420ft at 120 m.p.h and has a simple lap bar.
It's green. It's blue. It's all over you! Enjoy your ride on Déjà Vu
