nannerdw Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 This kind of reminds me of a giant Pax Wild Train with a launch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorkscrewFoley Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 ^YES! That's what I was thinking too. Is it me, or is that one turn facing outwards instead of inwards (hence the PAX reference). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixelated85 Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 i'm not sure i've ever seen such a steep, curved incline as this one's first hill. maybe it's just the angle of the photos.. i don't know. looking forward to some raw POV footage of it in action.

ebl Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Isn't Happy Valley getting an S&S 4th Dimension, or is that a different park in China? Â Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atem122 Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 ^That's Dinosaur Park in some other part of China. I can't quite remember where. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoSporin Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 I'm still impressed that S&S has been able to diversify the company as much as they have without turning out complete crap for coasters and thrill rides... similar to the diversity in Intamin's products but with fewer failures in my opinion. And this thing looks more than decent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ledgy Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 It looks VERY short. TPR Best of China Trip 2012!  That will be another Trip where you can count me in! Oh my, seems I won´t never come to america, while doing the rest of the world of coasters but I can´t resist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kooky Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 another nice testing video, directly filmed beside the launch: http://www.56.com/u77/v_NTI4MzAzMzg.html ...the launch and the tophat were really looking awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this thing looks more than decent  Actually S&S has had a ton of failures and delays (Ring Racer anyone?) its just that they build fewer rides. If they had built just as many rides as Intamin, chances are they'd have just as many problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shavethewhales Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 I don't know of this deserves a separate thread or not, but I found it interesting that there's another S&S launched similar to the Beijing installation in Shenzhen. http://rcdb.com/9442.htm?p=0 Â Is it a clone? I didn't look to closely, and there aren't too many photos, but it appears to have a similar first hill and short layout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
let1gre Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 ^ From the first post. Apparently the Shenzhen version will have a different layout too. Â Similar, yes, a clone, I don't think so. I'm thinking this is like the Busch Gardens parks with SheiKra and Griffon and before that, Montu and Alpengeist. Each get a "sister" coaster of the same general type with a slightly different, but similar, layout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fooz Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 From RCDB about the shenzhen launcher: Â Â Â Â WOW! Look at the contours of that hill! Completely insane! Could S&S get their reliability issues ironed out and become a major name in high profile thrill rides this decade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disneyfan1313 Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 ^ Wow! That does look awesome! I have to admit I am a bit nervous about the finished product but it really does look like it could be an amazing ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redfoot12 Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 I'm skeptical. Hypersonic may have scarred me. I know that the feedback for PowderKeg is good but that has a totally different layout and does not reach speeds of other Thrust-Air coasters.

jynx242 Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 My personal experience alone, Powder Keg IS good. When we went on it during the Middle America trip, everyone who got off of it said, "S&S REALLY needs to build more of these." Â Hopefully, these are the long-awaited answer to Powder Keg. Â D.

TXman308 Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 New pictures of extreme rusher (Beijing) have been posted up at RCDB.

coasterlover420 Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 I think it's funny how there are certain things about this ride that remind me of B&M and certain things about it that remind me of Intamin...hmmm  It seems like they're the only two companies who really got it right, and all the others are out of options. I do like the looks of this coaster a lot, though! I hope these new S&S coasters turn our really smooth and exciting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
