Aftershock is an inverted shuttle roller coaster at Silverwood Theme Park in Athol, Idaho. It is a Vekoma Giant Inverted Boomerang that first ran at Six Flags Great America in Gurnee, Illinois, as Déjà Vu from 2001 to 2007. Six Flags removed it after maintenance problems, and Silverwood bought it, had it overhauled and opened it as Aftershock on July 21, 2008.
The train is pulled backward up a vertical tower, then released through the station into a cobra roll and a loop before climbing a second vertical tower and running the course backward. The park lists a height of 191 feet, a longest drop of 177 feet, a top speed of 65.6 mph, three inversions and a ride time of 1 minute 32 seconds.
The park's minimum height for riders is 54 inches and the maximum is 80 inches.
