Sky Screamer was a first-generation Intamin Freefall ride[1][2] at Six Flags AstroWorld in Houston, Texas.
[3] Sky Screamer consisted of a 131 feet (40 m) tower with a horizontal braking runout.
Once at the top, the gondola was disengaged from the lift chain and pushed forward into the drop position.
A pair of guide rails ran downward along the outside of the Sky Screamer tower before curving into the horizontal braking runout.
These modifications were intended to improve stopping ability in wet conditions and were a response to an accident on a similar ride at a different park.
