Indoor Space Shot

This weekend I got to ride an indoor Space Shot. It's only 120 feet tall but still really fun.

Where was that at? Galaxyland in West Edmonton Mall?

Yup, it replaced the drop of doom a few years ago.

I figured so.

I do not think I have been to Galaxyland since we went with Year 10 Science class to learn about physics. Yes, we went to an amusement park - now that is hands-on learning! We did, however, have to write a paper about the physics of amusement park rides. Great lesson! I only wish Space Shot was there when I went for that project.

Next time I am at WEM I'll be sure to check it out.

As per the map of the Galaxyland amusement park, the ride is officially called Space Shot!

It's the same as the Space Shot at camp except indoors and only 120ft tall. The seats are also different. Instead of 3 on all sides there are 2 on two sides and 4 on the other two sides.

Sounds pretty cool! I wish we had something like that around here.
