vekoma/arrow corkscrews

For the spring wheels, u may be right, but for the other thing, S&S does make SLC's, and they do make corkscrews from Arrow, but they're rough(Like old Arrow CS rides).

S&S Power (though to make my life easier I'll just be calling it S&S) is a Utah based company that was founded by Stan Checketts. Over the past several years the company has become most recognized when it comes to their launch rides. With rides ranging from their extremely popular Turbo Drop and Space Shot towers, to their simply magnificent Thrust Air series, S&S has made themselves very well known for their extreme rides. The single that however that holds S&S out is their innovative Compressed Air Launched system, that allows for the to send trains at speeds exceeding 100 miles per hour in just a little over one second.
This is from a site about S&S.Thrust coasters=XLC's, SLC's

No, a thrust air coaster isn't an SLC. An SLC is an vekoma inverted.

SLC- suspended looping coaster, and going from 0 to 100 in a second, isnt that hazardus to your health????lol[:D]

I was wrong, thinking of XLC's[:(]<img src=images/icon_speech_oops.gif border=0 width=29 height=15 alt=Insert Speech Icon: Oops!>
And yes, rct, they do go 0-102+ in 1.4 or so. One of their rides-Dodonpa, 2nd fastest ride in the world at 106 mph.

rcdb said 1.8 sec's for dodonpa

rcdb is correct (always)

i knew about dodonpa, cept i thought it was 2 seconds

1.8, 2 sec's...really close

Oh well, i dont plan on going to Japan, nor do i plan on riding thrust air 200, hypersonic xlc, nor TTD (suprise suprise)

well, i might get on ttd for money, or if i was drunk (considering i dont drink, that gets rid of one of those options)

Do you like riding coasters rctycoon112?

HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!! Just not launch coasters.......

lol, why?

hmmmmmmmm, well, lets see....... 0 to 80 in 1 second, extreme negative g's then a vertical drop............ (negative g's are cool in all, but there is a difference between fun g's and too much g's)

they're FUN though. Launched coasters are SSOOOO FUUNN!! Your missing a ton of fun rctycoon112.

i might try hpyerson xlc, if i like then i prob will ride ttd, but until then, aint going any where near it! (for the majority of stuff i havent gotten on, when i try it, i end up liking it, like acrophobia, i didnt want to ride it rode it and like it)

i dunno about everybody else but on most launch rides i feel like i black out for about 1 or 2 seconds.

I don't feel that, only on Goliath

I've never blacked out in my life, lol

Me neither, but I almost did on Goliath @ SFMM.

Yea, the helix on Goliath is pretty intense, but it's fun. Sry bout dodonpa, read that from some site I had never heard of before, guess it was wrong.[:O]

arrow has been gone since the early 90's, and vekoma went bankrupt after six flags woulnd't pay for Deja Vu.

ahem, arrow has been bought about a yaer ago by S&S when they were almost going bankrupt due to the problems with X. Vekoma also had some troubles with SF, some people say SF only payed half price for a few boomerangs they bought. Vekoma went bankrupt but The Netherlands state gave them money to make a restart.

NO! THEY CAN'T RESTART!! THEY SHOULD BE GONE FOR GOOD!!

Yeah, after the whole Deja Vu ordeal, vekoma filed for bankruptcy
