Super Booster Ride

The Super Booster Ride is Brighton Pier’s most death-​defying ride.
It takes punters 130 feet into the air then without warning, drops them at accelerating speed. I’m not really a stats girl but the phrase 0 – 60 in 2.5 seconds should give you an idea just how fast it goes. To crank up the tension, the Super Booster is a stand-​up, floor-​less ride that means your legs dangle under you whilst your ass is perched on a seat resembling a bike saddle. Of course, the force of gravity means you can’t move as you’re plummeting down towards the sea then vigorously swinging over it but I’m sure it’s entirely possible to feel your stomach doing somersaults.
Have I been on the ride personally? Do I look like a masochist to you?! I’ve seen the mixture of ecstacy and horror on hundreds of riders faces as they’ve clamboured off with shaking legs and that was more than enough!
* The only downside to Super Booster and other rides on Brighton Pier is the price-​tag. This ride takes 5 tokens so works out around £8 a ride. If you buy a book of 30 tokens for £20 however, it works out slightly cheaper.
