Most thrilling S&S ride

What ride, that was built by S&S, do you think is the best?

Oh come on, this question isn't even close. If someone doesnt give the obvious answer, its only because she/he hasnt ridden it yet. Anyway, I've been on a Turbo Drop (CP) and two Space Shots (IOA & CP) and while fun, none held a candle to Hypersonic: Xtreme Launch Coaster. That thing "kickimus Maximus Buttimus"!

--FWOOM!!

To add a twist to the question, what else have they built other than the shot/drop towers and XLC?

I like the space shot on the Stratosphere Tower in Las Vegas.

The obvious choice for me is The Big Shot. What a thrilling ride! That may change after riding Hypersonic:XLC.

I have also been on Power Tower, Dr. Doom and I plan to ride Dragon's Descent this year.

By the way, did S&S make the TLZ:Tower Of Terror?

Nothing they have done yet comes close to Hypersonic. It makes their tower rides seem like kiddie rides.

CrystalKat, other than XLC and the upcoming Japanese TA2K, they have built 100 some space shots, turbo drops, and double shot towers. Other than that, they have sold about a million Frog Hoppers, and are working on new upcharge rides (snow shot).

I would say Power Tower but I think Big Shot on the Stratusphere Tower is just amazing

You are the Weakest Link, Goodbye.

The Turbo Drop on Power Tower is awesome. I know I'm not going to be able to ride Hypersonic anytime soon if at all, so hopefully another park closer to me does *cough*CP*cough*--especially if it's upwards of 350ft. :)

Supreme Scream at Knott's Berry Farm. That thing has a 300+ foot drop!

I'd have to say that Hypersonic was the most exhilarating, but I also enjoyed Ocean City NJ's
Double Shot (*very* powerful) and Funtown
Pier in Seaside Heights NJ's Combo Tower
which offers an *awe inspiring* panoramic view
of the Atlantic. The ride didn't take my breath away,
but the view sure did!

I would say Supreme Scream! and also Hypersonic:XLC.

Well considering the only one I've been on is Power Tower, then that's my answer. I think the ride is just as thrilling as my homepark's Giant Drop.

I haven't been on many, but so far I like Supreme Scream at Knott's the best. I love that drop and the view from 300 feet up is amazing!

Big Shot, without a doubt the most amazing thrillride whoever the designer. It cannot be beat.

Yea Supreme Scream, Power Tower, and HyperSonic XLC are most definitely the most extreme of the S & S attractions. Why? One of the three is the tallest one currently to date, the second is a four legged combination of two of S & S's ride types, and the other features a horizontal catapult from 0-80 in just 1.8 seconds.

I think that Supreme Scream is my favorite S&S ride. I have only been on that or maliboomer... Not too hard of a choice.

The Big Shot on top of the Stratosphere Tower in Vegas. It's a bit intimidating going up the elevator and having your ears pop from the elevation change. Then once you step out onto the deck and look out, WOW! After it shoots you up there's nothing below you (at least you can't see anything except for the buildings 1000 feet below you.

Hello, My name is Dan and I'm a coasterholic.

Have to go with the Statosphere as well, the thing is just that much better because of the height.. Did S&S do the Dr. Doom ride at IOA, I think the themeing and the dialog before the ride at a certain flair to that one?

Thanx Peabody! I'm not that great with manufacturer/designer names, I didn't know if they'd built anything else.
