The Looping Starship is an amusement ride manufactured by Intamin of Switzerland. The ride is a swinging ship that can spin a complete 360-degree revolution.
The ride has been modified with custom theming to resemble a number of different vehicles, including a Space Shuttle, a fighter jet, an Egyptian cargo ship, and a Looney Tunes ACME Rocket.
The Looping Starship is manufactured either as a traveling model or a park model. Most parks require riders to be at least 48 inches (1.2m) tall.
(Most of the ride's parts are from the Six Flags Astroworld Looping Starship, which operated from 1986 to 2005. An entirely new chassis was built for its installation, and themed after a Looney Tunes ACME rocket for Justice League: Battle for Metropolis.)
(Themed after a pirate ship, formerly called The Revolution, and removed mid-off-season[vague] due to maintenance issues, low ridership and South Bay Shores.)[citation needed]
