Sasquatch is a 192-foot steel tower ride in the Hot Rod USA area of Great Escape in Queensbury, New York. Built by S&S, it opened at the park in 2009 after earlier service at Six Flags New Orleans, where its towers ran as Bayou Blaster and Sonic Slam.
The two-legged tower offers two rides. On the launch side, riders are shot upward to near the top in about three seconds. On the drop side, they are lifted slowly before a free fall with rebounds.
Riders must be at least 48 inches tall.
