Screaming Squirrel in Russia - new layout

I don´t know if this is old news, but Wonder Island in St. Petersburg (Russia) has a new Screaming Squirrel with a new layout.

I found this while looking for their Schwarzkopf coaster.

Take a look at this:

Sadly the pics are taken from a bad perspective but you can see that this ride lacks the long upside down track. RCDB calls this the Saxophone. Additionally it has some mouse-curves at the top.

The park has as well a S&S Screaming Swing, obviously they are sold in packages.

Wonder Island exists since 2003 and offers a quite ecclectic ride assortment which is growing fast.

Apart from the mentioned rides they have as well a Star Flyer, a custom enclosed spinning coaster, a Vekoma whirlwind and some nice flats.

Looks like a nice park.

Its funny how the font they use for the name of the park, looks just like disney.

I think this answer some questions.

too many Http's ;) Heres the link though:

But yeah, I wondered why it had no turns in the first couple ones they put up, the idea has potential like in the one there, which looks cool. *** Edited 7/16/2006 4:01:11 PM UTC by P18*** *** Edited 7/16/2006 4:01:38 PM UTC by P18***

Why is it always assumed that since a park bought two rides from a specific manufacturer, that it was part of some package deal? The response I read in another thread went something like this. Intamin, B&M, S&S are not Wal-Mart. There are no buy two, get the third one at half price.

There are no buy two, get the third one at half price.

You sure about that? Indiana Beach, Knotts, Cedar Point, and other parks who have an S&S tower and a frog hopper will tell you otherwise.

True, but a lot of people see two or more rides by the same manufacturer at the same park and they automatically assume it was a package deal and I think that's a strange assumption. Suppose someone buys a 1998 Chevy and then buys another one in 2002- that person didn't make a "two car" deal with the dealer, they just bought a second Chevy because they liked their first one.

^No. That's why I typed a reply from another thread with a similar question. I can see towers and frog hoppers, but we're talking coasters. Maybe that means something, maybe it doesn't. But, I have heard that theory shot down many times on these very boards. *** Edited 7/19/2006 4:01:17 PM UTC by Coasterbuzzer***

I'd ride it and then I would buy a couple of them at Costco.

Does anyone else speak Russian on this board? Well I guess I don't speak it fluently anymore, since I have no one to speak with. The style of writing on that website was quite the challenge for me to understand.
I'd never think of visiting an Amusement Park while visiting St. Petersburgh, but this one seems fun enough to change my mind. Looks like I'll be stopping by this place when I visit this marvelous city in the Spring. Anyone who wants- feel free to come with.

A rabbit, pig, and a crow that looks just like a duck. Nice.

Are you sure that there was a package deal and they didn't just purchase two rides?

Do you think there wasn't any kind of incentive, discount, or perk to multiple purchases? Were necessarily not talking a free 2nd ride, but something. With the exception of massive rigid corporate stores (Walmart, Home Depot, etc.) I can hardly think of a time I haven't squeezed some perk out salesmen for either large purchases or multiple purchases.

I would imagine there's a good deal in making large quantities from Zamperla because I'm shocked this year how many parks (6 or 7) bought large packages of rides from them. They're doing amazing business!

^I have no idea. But, the first post said that there must be some package deal. I don't know if there was or was not. So, it was a jump to a conclusion based on the purhcase of two rides.

Well I said that and I am the first who debunks stories about "three coaster deals" which are rumoured to last over a period of several years.

But if a small park gets a Squirrel and a Swing in the same season, its just common sense that it was sold as a package.

Ok, that kind of clears that up. I wasn't aware from your post that both had been installed in the same year. That's why I wasn't so sure that it was a package deal.
