In 2004, a scream could be heard coming from Niagara Falls, Canada. No, it wasn’t someone plummeting over the falls in a barrel, but a thrill ride that gives almost the same experience. In 2003 Marineland made the decision to get a ride that they could use to put their park on the map. The park already had Dragon Mountain, which is a looping coaster from Arrow Dynamics, so they chose a new thrill ride over a coaster. Falling into the plummeting tradition of Niagara Falls, what could be better than an S&S tower ride? After careful planning a S&S Three Tower Complex was chosen. The next step was to choose a location and the park made sure it was a good one. Construction started soon after and a 300-foot tower complex started to rise from the top of a 150-foot man-made mountain. Once the tower was finished, construction stopped and the ride was left unfinished. Later in 2004, guests spotted work resuming and Sky Screamer was finished and ready for its opening on Canada Day, July 1st. The location Sky Screamer rests on puts the ride 450-feet above the rest of the park. With the extreme heights, Marineland is claiming Sky Screamer to be the tallest tower complex in the word. At the highest point on the tower, riders are 450-feet away from the rest of the park, providing a great view of the nearby Niagara Falls.

When Marineland guests decide they want to ride Sky Screamer, they have to make the trek to the top of the 150-foot high mountain that it sits on. After they check their height to make sure it is at least 48-inches tall, they are assigned a side of the tower and proceed to choose their seats. Seats are filled with riders sitting three abreast and passengers secure the over-the-shoulder harness and seat belt. Once the all the safety systems are in order, the riders lift off of the ground several feet and wait for blast-off. Suddenly, the power of pneumatics rockets the cars to the highest point of the ride and a dramatic view of Niagara Falls presents itself, and at the top, riders are thrust back down for extreme negative g's. Sky Screamer freefalls back down and then blasts part-way up the tower, then dips and begins lifting to the top. Once at the top, the riders sit 450-feet above the rest of the park and get another chance to take in the awe-inspiring view of the Falls, just several blocks away from the park. Without warning, the towers blast passengers downwards again, sending them plummeting towards the earth. Compressed air launches it upward again, the cars drop, and then are launched slightly less each time to gradually make their way back down to be slowly lowered back to a loading position. Once the air is released and it is safe for riders to exit, the restraints are released and riders exit the ride after their exhilarating experience.
