Starblaster is a launch tower ride at Canobie Lake Park in Salem, New Hampshire. It opened in 2002, replacing an earlier ride called Moon Orbiter.
S&S Power built the ride as one of its Double Shot towers. The park describes Starblaster as an 80-foot tower that shoots riders upward and lets them bounce back down, with forces of about 3 G's.
It is one of the park's thrill rides, alongside Untamed, Yankee Cannonball and Xtreme Frisbee.
