Virtual Coasters adds S&S Power video

Posted Tuesday, January 14, 2003 8:47 AM | Contributed by Virtual Coasters

This Month's video is a look back at S&S Power before they merged with Arrow Dynamics. It takes a look at the famous towers, along with the Thrust Air 2000 coaster and the new Screaming Squirrel.

You should take a look at the Arrow Dynamics 2002 Company Video CsTrFrk and I edited, it was more Rock than Techno

Well Phantom, i guess i can sorta agree, but not entirely.

Why use a slow song on some thrill rides? and second, the only other high-beat music is rap and rock, and naturally, people might complain "why this song?". techno just seems like the universal coaster music i guess.

This music is an insult to actual Techno.

I didn't think the Squirrel would move quite so slowly. Is this a slowed down image? Hmmm....

Yes...that was a real guy on top of the tower. It was Stan (president of S&S). He always does that. In fact, I think there is one of him standing on top of Tower Power at CP when it was complete.

Edit: Yep, here's a blown up shot: http://www.cedarpoint.com/public/inside_park/rides/thrill/powertower/images/ptstan.jpg
