e/Detonator (ride)

Information
has gloss	eng: Detonator is a tower ride at Thorpe Park in Chertsey, Surrey. It was manufactured by Fabbri and is a Mega Drop Tower. It opened in 2001 along with two other thrilling flat rides, Vortex and Zodiac. It is around and is not released via a computer. The ride operator at the bottom has a button which he/she can press to make the car go at any time once the car has reached the top. Once released, the car is fired downwards by pneumatics rather than simply falling under gravity, the ride reaches a speed of 47mph at the base of the drop, giving the impression of weightlessness for riders.
