jedimaster1227 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 S&S – Sansei Technologies has sent us a press release announcing their new Spin Shot Tower concept, which can be built new or retrofit on any existing S&S tower! S&S – Sansei Technologies is excited to announce the new Spin Shot Tower! The Spin Shot takes the thrills and excitement from our 4D Free Spin coaster seat and puts it on our world-famous tower rides. For a modest investment, the Spin Shot can be retrofit on any S&S tower. Custom ride profiles can be programmed to orient the rider, face-up, face-down or even upside down during the tower ride sequence! This thrilling experience will be mechanically controlled to ensure maximum safety and thrills for all riders. S&S recognizes the current market challenges and the limited capital expense budgets most parks now face. Executive Director of Sales & Marketing, Josh Hays said, “Our CEO, Tim Timco, challenged us to develop an exciting attraction that parks could offer their customers at a modest budget. We believe our talented engineering team has met that goal. Parks want to offer their guests new and exciting experiences every year. That is a difficult task right now, but we believe our new Spin Shot Tower will allow parks with existing tower rides to reward their guests with a thrilling experience that doesn’t break the bank.” The Spin Shot is a patented product only available from S&S - Sansei Technologies. For more information about the Spin Shot Tower, you can visit the S&S website at http://s-s.com/rides/spin-shot-tower/. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilltopper39 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 I love this concept, especially as an option to retrofit an existing S&S Tower. Considering how many S&S Towers are in operation around the world, and how many of them have multiple towers, I hope we see this option added to several locations, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 ^Yeah, super smart to make this a retrofit. I definitely see some of the parks with multiple towers installing this on one...plus Stratosphere is a no brainer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillseeker4552 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 I've had this idea in my head for so long and wondered why nobody has done it. Of course, S&S are the ones to innovate like that! Love it. Supreme Scream... please! Just one of the towers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilltopper39 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Now Hershey just has to decide which of their three different sized towers to slap this thing on lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigJoe123 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 I really love how you can retrofit it! Im really hoping that they don't put the 4d cars on the Smaller Shot Towers. The smaller the shot tower the better the ride is! I would love to see this on a shot and drop! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southpuddle Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Add it to one of each side of Power Tower at Cedar Point please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MayTheGForceBeWithYou Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Add me onto the list of wanting a park with a multi-tower installation to put one of these on. Looks like such an awesome concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfBobs Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I wonder if they'll be able to sell 3 more towers with these to Hershey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillseeker4552 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 This screams Cedar Point to me. Their drop tower is a little outdated considering how modernized the park has become. This would be an excellent (and affordable) way to upgrade Power Tower and market it as "first of its kind." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coneyislandchris Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 This is just smart, smart marketing and perfect for the current era we're in. I love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Looks like a smart idea to freshen up an old ride. I'd give it a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sluggo77 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 I’d love to see SFNE add this to one of the towers on Scream! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Coaster Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 The seats look similar to that old S&S Sky Sling ride that a few parks got in the early 2000s. This is a really cool way to breathe life into a pre-existing drop tower and I'd love to see a few parks try it. Considering Six Flags's relationship with S&S and their willingness to renovate pre-existing attractions as new additions, I have a hunch they may be the first to try this out.

Nrthwnd Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 (edited) This would be a cool way to update Playland's HELLEVATOR. It's not a very tall tower. But it can be a space shot thing, or a drop tower...or both! During the annual fair, The PNE, they (sometimes) program it to do the space shot first. Then, it climbs back up the tower and does the drop. Very cool program. I wish they would do it during Playland's regular season.

Canobie Coaster Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 ^ Aw man, Hellevator was just a turbo drop for me last year at the PNE. I'm just glad it held me at the top for the view! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 ^ Aw that's too bad. And I edited my previous post to reflect your not getting the "twofer" ride on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
