SF Needs s&s SS and TD

What would be better than a Nice tall tower like power tower at SF parks? The only thing is, make it bigger and better. Power tower is a great thrill. It is one of those ride were just getting on it is hard, even after the first time you get on it.

This Is from power tower @ CP

The Space Shot is pretty good. Not as scary as a turbo drop But is more unpredictalbe. You sit on a sideless seat with a OTSR. Your feet are dangling.
The ride Att. Checks the OTSR and gives the thumbs up. You are cleared then lifted a couple of feet, then you stop. you stay there for Anywere from a fer seconds to a couple of minutes. You then burst to the top @ over 4.5+ G's. When you crown the tower, You pull 1neg g. then you bounce a few times before returning to the ground. :)

The TURBO DROP is a very intense ride. The seats are the same as the space shot.

You are cleared, and the ride rises fairly slowly to the top. But I feel more and more scared as I leave the safety of the ground.
When you reach the top you get a thump which is scary since you are so high. Then you wait for 12 agonizing seconds at the top. Then you plummet towards the ground at not a freefall, but 1Neg g. then you get thrusted back up @ 4.5+ g's. then again you bounce a few times before comming to the ground.




these are great rides SF need's to look at.

I think Six Flags has a better relation with Intamin AG with their drop rides than S&S and theirs. The only S&S towers I can think of at any of the Six Flags parks are the two [b]Scream![/b] combo towers at SFFT and some other park which currently escapes my mind...
