Big Shot (Formerly known as Space Shot) is a pneumatically powered tower ride. It was the world's highest amusement ride in terms of overall elevation above ground level, but has since been surpassed by the Sky Drop ride atop the Canton Tower in Guangzhou. The 160 feet (49 m) tower is built atop the 921 feet (281 m) high deck of The Strat in Las Vegas, Nevada.
