OldJJman Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 I hear there is a cool alpine slide near by! ^You are not allowed to ride it again! I second that!!! Absofreakinglutely NOT!!!
eltoro96 Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Is this air-powered? I haven't been following S&S for awhile.
Pablo237 Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 I read something about the Ring Racer over at Nürburgring. Something over there exploded and 7 people injured!! Glass Windows Shattered!! I think S&S Power is professional in what they do, but DAM!! I hope this coaster open with no problems! Pics look awesome!!
DJeXeL Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 ^^Yes that's S&S's claim to fame. Pneumatic (Compressed air) powered launch.
Rocket Rodder Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 ^ I just love that word... "Pneumatic". It's so fun to say. Wow that does look impressive.
freefallXL Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Thank you for the update! The coaster looks like really MUCH S&S Coaster fun! WITH a tunnel,.. awesOmE!!!
DBru Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Anyone else loving the white track with blue supports? I can't wait to see more as this coaster progresses. These S&S creations look heavenly.
COASTER FREAK 11 Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 I read something about the Ring Racer over at Nürburgring. Something over there exploded and 7 people injured!! Glass Windows Shattered!! I think S&S Power is professional in what they do, but DAM!! I hope this coaster open with no problems! Pics look awesome!! Thats a unique situation over there where they are pushing the limits. This coaster doesn't appear to be claiming anything (such as a speed record) that would cause it to have issues.
RoCo Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Was poking around the site to see if this ride was similar in layout to Beijing Happy Valley's "Extreme Rusher" and found a "Gutterflower" post with a POV vid link: http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMjEzMjk2NTQw.html (in case anyone else missed it - mad props to Gutterflower for finding it.) Oh, man, that looks like fun, and that rising whine just before the launch?!

Imagine a Sea World getting one of these with water elements!
PortugePunk Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 man, this thing looks like fun! great pics. thanks for sharing!
jray21 Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Looks great! Thanks for the pics. I really really need to get out to China.
rider-x Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Every time I see the name of this coaster it reminds me of the name of some exotic adult beverage somewhere. "Tonight, the bar is serving 2 for 1 Shangrila Snowfields"
jynx242 Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 It does kind of remind me of a Powder Keg on steroids though. If it is anything as cool as Powder Keg - I'm all for it!! Awesome. I remember on the Middle America tour we kept saying that they needed to build more of those, and here we go! David

David Powder Keg is awsome. if this is anything like that on this scale. in the words of the late, great, Inspector Gadget... WOWZERS!

"Tonight, the bar is serving 2 for 1 Shangrila Snowfields" LOL. I usually think the Asian coasters names are pretty corny, but I like this one, and "Eagle Fortress" and my favorite to date, ..."Starry Night Ripper" in construction now. I LOVE THAT NAME. Its like a multiplatinum, Ass kicking Band Name.
Gutterflower Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 Some more to enjoy Source: http://tieba.baidu.com/f?kz=992315804
PhantomNick Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 I have to admit, these newer launch coasters from S&S look pretty sweet! The drop on this one looks craaaazy good!! I've always thought that Powder Keg looks like a ton of fun, and this thing is looking like a super-sized version of it.
viking86 Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 I just realized that the supplier for the company I work in is located in Shenzhen. Maybe I should ask to come along on the next supplier audit??
vistaway Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 We were at Happy Valley on Monday. You can tell it's the off-season - tons of closed attractions (the entire water park, and every coaster other than the SLC), but we still had a great time. Here are a few shots of the new coaster (which was being tested as we were there). The park was pretty quiet - maybe everyone else knew how much was closed The lake is still drained, but they appear to be finishing the final touches It is a beautiful coaster. Great theming on the "underwater" section The station is 100% complete and ready to open They were actively testing the ride while we were there. The train made it 2/3 up the initial hill the one time I saw it in action. Great theming on the station and launch section. One last shot of this beauty
Gutterflower Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 Awesome shots. It looks a real beauty in the sunshine It shall be interesting to see which of the 2 S&S launchers this year turns out to be the better. This one certainly has the lead asthetically.
SoCalCoasters Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 Wow! That looks great! I can't wait to see how these two 2nd? 3rd? Gen S&S Launchers turn out! The theming also looks good... I'm not sure how it matches the name but...
Gigalyte Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 Thanks for the update I've been wondering what was going on with this amazing looking coaster. Judging from your last pic that seams like a very short launch, this thing must be launching with the power of Dondapa
