Shockwave opened in 1994 as Europe's first stand up coaster. Know by many TSTers as Bollock Basher: The Ride the ride is not suitable for Males over the age of 14, this is documented in the Ride Restrictions. Since construction, other parks have been literally falling over themselves to avoid adding one of their own. Shockwave is unique amongst coasters in that construction began from the station in both directions with the intention of meeting up in the middle. Unfortunately the park ran out of money half way though construction, and was forced to build a long straight section of track to connect the two sections.

The Ride is a complete freak against nature, as if your child was born as an Hermaphrodite. The track is manufactured by B&M but the ride system & trains were manufactured by Intamin. This is justified by the Dispatch Enable being a bang on the Op cabin wall and the Emergency Stop Break run.

Shockwave is also notable for confusing enthusiasts by being an Intamin rollercoaster that looks like it was built by B&M.
