Extreme Scream is a tower ride at the Washington State Fair in Puyallup, Washington. It opened at the fair in September 1999 and stays on the grounds permanently.
The ride was built by S&S Power of Utah. The Seattle Times described it at its opening as a combination of a space shot and a turbo drop, 185 feet tall and the tallest amusement ride in Washington state at the time, with speeds of up to 50 mph. Riders are carried about 20 stories up, pause briefly, and drop back down.
The fair names Extreme Scream as one of its returning favorites.
