S&S Eagle Coaster
I've just seen this new concept from S&S in First Drop. To me, it looks like the best new type of ride since the suspended coaster!
Does anyone know if there are pictures online? I'm hoping this video is OK, although I should stress I haven't watched it myself.
See what you think of it:

Graeme, that's a cool find. Video is fine and it looks like a very unique and fun ride.

That was sweet! That'd be great for any small park. :D

Hmm, I´ve seen this before and I was not exactly impressed.
For me the ride is doing nothing and I dont think that the rotation around the track is more than just a nice visual touch.
I just don´t get S&S. That water splash thing is just stupid. But thats just me.
For those interested:

I'll be honest, I'm not that over enthusiastic about S&S's coasters, but the Eagle one I have already been ranting about to non-enthusiast friends. Absolutely brilliant!

They are normally too extreme for me, but this looks great, like the Arrow suspended coasters! (I also like the Screamin' Swing.)
I have a good feeling about this coaster, and suspect the UK will get one.
