DefinitiveDetour Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Talk about an ultimate thread revival. They have a new system in place for the future shuttle program. It will be the same concept they used for the apollo missions with solid booster rockets that pull the command module away. 0-600mph in 3.5 seconds I think only one has ever been used by people and it was in russia.

Gmaster562 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I'd rather die up there then ride a vekoma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenseOFone Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 That view looks absolutely terrifying. If they counted it as an actual credit, it seems it would be the tallest coaster in the world. But then, about how tall is it in the air? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo237 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 It kind of looks like that Vekoma Cliffhanger Coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
