Teddymonster Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 No thanks! That thing looks shoddy as hell. Like you already mentioned, it would never be picked up by a park, especially being that you have to wear earplugs to ride it. That's cool that you rode it, at least.

CoasterFanatic Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 I have seen a lot of rides and this one just straight up scares me :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackskellington101 Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 And I will not be doing that ride. I imagine this thing going on the side of the Stratosphere Tower in Vegas when they figure out the sound issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mind Eraser Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Wow. Looks nice and rusty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECZenith Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 I wonder which park would actually get something that looks this... industrial? Don't get me wrong... sign me up for a ride, it just doesn't look like something the public would be willing to ride in vast numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrillrider15 Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 That is Freakin' insane! :shock: It's hard to imagine myself riding that thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrakenKing Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Hmm, drop towers are the only rides that can actually give me a thrill... I almost crapped myself on Acrophobia... and that was only 200ft... Riding this would probably give me a heart attack... but I'd probably take a chance and ride it, haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncf Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 I think drop rides are really boring, but Fritt Fall: Tilt at Gröna Lund was pretty cool (80meter stand-up-floorless) This looks VERY cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homey G. Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Truly wild. I'm in the boat with those that feel drop rides are truly the last threshhold of fear for me. Maybe they could install one at CP and charge for the earplugs like DT charges for glasses. javascript:emoticon(':roll:') Rolling Eyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastermoosh Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Of course its rusty...and industrial...and loud. Sonic Boom was not built with the intention of selling it to parks, it was built to simply show it COULD BE DONE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zburns999 Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Is the compressed air system just as reliable as magnetic systems? Honestly, I don't know if I would ride it. It just doesn't look safe. The worst part is that you have to press a button to make it drop. Could you imagine if this was at a park? Someone could have a panic attack at the top. How would they get down and not hold up the line? I understand that this wasn't built to sell, but its just an observation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastermoosh Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 OMG....is anyone actually READING what I've posted? You WILL NOT find a ride like this IN ANY PARK! It is not a showpiece...its NOT for sale. It was built to show that using air compressed by the ride vehicle COULD be done. End of story! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiCoastal Kid Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 ^I bet you could get one if you wanted, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterguy618 Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Looks fun, and it also looks like a Death Trap! You probably won't see me getting on that thing anytime soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lagg Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Wow! Looks cool, and scary. Not knowing when you will drop because your in a small space. And that little tunnel you drop into :shock:. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

project? Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 The good news is that S&S has come up with a new attraction called the Sonic Boom. The bad news is that apparently it is just a little something Stan developed for his own mini amusement park fun zone in Logan, Utah http://media.putfile.com/sonic-boom-at-ss This is a short video of the Sonic Boom in action.

Ed Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Without even watching the video. This is the ride that drops you into a small hole using Air Pressure to slow you down? It's been there a for a while. And totally stuid tbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimace Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 ^yeah, that's the one. It looks fun, but the boom thing seems like it could get obnoxious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socalMAN123 Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Dude, that looks really weird. It looks like fun, but I mean, the enterance is kinda weird. It's just a door in a tube. ---Brent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
