Slammer was a rare S&S Sky Swat thrill ride which first opened at Thorpe Park in 2005. The ride, which was one of two Sky Swats ever built, featured a long arm sitting between two towers, and on the end of either arm was four rows of six seats. During the ride cycle riders were turned upside-down six times.
Slammer became the last remaining Sky Swat in the world after the only other model, Catapult was removed from Six Flags New England in 2013.
Some facts about Slammer:
- Opened in 2005
- Manufactured by S&S
- Six inversions
- One of two "Sky Swat" models ever built
- Became the only Sky Swat operating in the world in 2013
