  • čas přidán 15. 08. 2024
  • S&S Sansei Technologies is an American ride manufacturer located in Logan, Utah, USA. Today, the company produces a wide range of roller coasters. However, they found their success producing a unique ride using revolutionary technology - the S&S shot tower. The company has continued to innovate, producing air powered launch coasters, 4D free spin rides, and even the brand-new Axis roller coaster. Although, the success of S&S came from one man - a man who was a natural born thrill seeker.

      If not for Stan Checkets, we may not have the shot tower or the air launch coaster

    The S&S Sky Swat was such an underrated ride. It had a unique sensation of catapulting you into the sky. If only it was as reliable as the Screamin’ Swing I reckon it would’ve waaay more popular.

    Awesome video! S&S is still going strong for making drop towers, roller coasters, and new ride models for improvements! I'm also looking forward to see what the future will be for S&S! Sadly that Stan Checketts (the founder of S&S AKA Stan & Sandy) died at the age of 80 on January 2nd, 2022. We will never forget him, especially his ride construction to the amusement industry through out the years. R.I.P Stan Checketts (1941-2022)

    @utahcoasterenthusiasts Před 2 lety +1

    Great video. I was lucky enough to ride the Sonic Boom. It was the best drop tower ever. I also rode his Sky Sling when it was in Logan too and it had the new OTSR seats and two of the original horse saddle with seat belts seats. I did the seatbelt seats as I knew it would probably be my only time to do so which has come true. Great tribute to Stan.

  • @212Elevators
    @212Elevators Před rokem

    With the towers, they also introduced the Double Shot. I do see some people confuse them over Space Shots, but other than their shorter height, the accumulator is injected with a second smaller dose of air immediately after the gondola is shot up which is then transferred into the shot tanks over the air that is being compressed, causing the gondola to shoot to the top a second time.

    I usually enjoy shot towers and drop towers and the alike, but Big Shot? It is terrifying, out of every ride I've ever been on, it was easily the scariest. I do not think I'm ever going on it again. And don't even get me started on the other stratosphere tower rides, did not have the courage to go on any of them

    Never really liked the shot tower experience but after riding one at Motiongate in Dubai a few days ago I think I can never ride one again. First ride brilliant, second was the scariest moment in my life. When I reached the top there was a loud click and it felt like my restraint let loose. Never been so scared on an attraction and truly thought it was all over. Held the restraint so tight my hands hurt! 😂 Terrifying. I'll stick to coasters from now on 😂
