The Acme Rock-n-Rocket<\/em> was added in the 2006 season as part one the ten new attractions added for the year. It was located in the Modern Section, next to the Adventure Theater<\/em>, close to where the Modern Astrolift<\/em> had stood. Shaped like a cartoon firecracker rocket, the ride is similar to the Conquistador<\/em>. Unlike the Conquistador<\/em>, however, the Rock-n-Rocket<\/em> turned riders completely upside-down as it swung 84-feet in the air and around in a full 360-degree circle. The ride lasted two minutes and thirty seconds. The rocket held up to fifty-riders, for an estimated hourly capacity of 650 riders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both the Conquistador <\/em>and the Rock-n-Rocket<\/em> were manufactured by Intamin. The Rock-n-Rocket <\/em>is a Looping Starship style ride. Parts for the ride were relocated from Astroworld<\/em> when the park was closed. The rocket unit in which the riders sit was manufactured for Six Flags Over Texas<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ride was removed in 2014 to make room for the\u00a0Justice League: Battle for Metropolis<\/a><\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
