S&S Snow Shot Questions

Ok, why hasn't anyone built one yet at a park? How much are they? How long? What exactly is it like? That's all.

I'm not sure of the specifics, but here was my eneral understanding of it. There are two of those I-Beam tracks, and there is one of those snowmobile things on each track. One person gets on each and they race each other down the track and control how fast they go. Jeff would know more seeing as how he saw it at IAAPA.

I dance like a special ed. kid that was given a sparkler.

My understanding of it is sort of one of the Top Eliminator Dragsters, but instead of the motor launching the ride, the ride is launched using compressed air.  Here is a picture of it: http://www.coasterbuzz.com/features/iaapa2000/gallery/img.asp?img=ia00sssnowshot.jpg

There are pictures of the S&S Snow Shot that is open at Cobra Adventure Park in Panama City, Florida in a recent issue of Amusement Today. It does look similiar to the dragsters.

Is there ANYTHING Stan Checketts won't do for extra thrills - the guy is AMAZING!
