Gutterflower Posted October 21, 2010 Author Share Posted October 21, 2010 Did a quick search of the Japanese video sites Nice POV of Extreme Rusher http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMjEzMjk2NTQw.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olov Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 That's a very nice vid indeed, looks great and I think there could be some hint of airtime even on that big turn. Can't be too far away from opening now. Too bad TPR doesn't have lots of frequent asian contributors today that could give us some insights of how all these new rides are performing like when American, European and Australian rides opens up. (Love your work as always though, Dave) Maybe TPR could do some membership recruiting on the next china trip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 ^That's a great idea! We'll bring cards and shirts and get them recruited! (Then we'll probably be detained by the Chinese Government!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Looks similar to Superman Escape in Australia...but on 50 tabs of acid. Wow, this ride should be nuts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilltopper39 Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 The layout reminds me an awful lot of Xcellerator at Knotts. But definately looks like a crazy ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXman308 Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Does anyone else see the trims at 1:00 going down the hill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fooz Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 I suppose that wacky final hill was too awesome to be true then. (At full speed anyways) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormrider Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 That is a really odd layout, it almost looks like something a child playing RCT would come up with. It looks like a lot of fun, and if it rides more like Powder Keg than the other Thrust Air coasters, I think this could end up being a very fun ride. It looks like a great ride, but I just don't like the layout as it looks too unprofessional to me. If you have Nolimits and Newton2, then this looks more like what a beginner (like myself) at using Newton2 would produce: forces are in check, there's heartlining, but for some reason it just doesn't have that "geometric beauty" that B&Ms have. However, there's no rule that says a ride's track can't curve at one rate and then all of a sudden start curving at a different rate. I'm glad that the Chinese government is investing in the US by buying a ride from us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wuzefelix Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Hi, I hope this is the correct thread. I just wanted to let you know that apparently the S&S has opened. This bad quality video is the proof, there are definitively people riding: http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMjY3MzY4NzA4.html I hope the S&S in Shenzhen opens soon, too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noxegon Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Yes, it has opened. I rode it today. There are trims on the big drop (actually, it's the first one) but they don't affect the train much. The wacky turn towards the end is pretty intense. Actually, the whole ride is pretty intense - and pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuff2break Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 i love the launch into the twisting upward run, almost looks as though there should be a chain lift on the downhill and youd go the other way! how fast is the launch?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECZenith Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 I love the trains! Very sleek looking, hoping to see more S&S coasters built stateside, especially something like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
