The KMG Fireball (aka Afterburner if you’re in Europe) and its variants seem to be very popular rides nowadays. I remember when I first saw Fireball back in the late 90s or so at the State Fair Meadowlands; it went under the name Cyclops and I thought it was just insane! Today many fairs carry a Fireball, Freak Out, or Technical Park’s 1 trailer Street Fighter while several amusement parks sport the larger Revolution models by Chance Rides. A Fireball running at full tilt is probably one of the more intense rides around with a ton of Gs at the bottom of the swing; couple this with a ride op happy to run it for minutes on end and Fireball turns into the pendulum ride from hell!
