This towering monstrosity is The Rocket, which allows you to either to be "blasted" into space or "re-enter" the atmosphere.


On The Rocket at Lagoon Amusement Park in Farmington, Utah, USA you can choose to blast off into space, or re-enter the atmosphere. Either route is loads of fun. The tower on the left is for re- entry: they are waiting to be dropped back to earth. The right side has just been hydraulically blasted straight up into space. Both are quite a rush of adrenaline.
