LOGAN, Utah ??? (April 12, 2018) ??? S&S Worldwide, Inc. is pleased to announce that it will build and install an Air Launch Coaster for Changsha Window of the World.

Changsha Window of the World, located in Changsha, Hunan, China, is the largest theme park in central China and is the most important base of travel, film, television, culture, and entertainment in the area. Changsha Window of the World was established in 1997 and contains around 50 replicas of the most famous tourist attractions in the world in its park. The park is one of the most visited destinations in the area and is open all year round.

S&S Worldwide, Inc., the largest U.S. ride manufacturer, has now installed over 450 of their products in 30 countries around the world. Gerald Ryan, Executive Director of Sales for S&S commented, ???S&S is excited to be installing our 5th Air Launch Coaster in China.???

The coaster at Changsha Window of the World, with a maximum height of 40m and a track length measuring 830m long, will contain over 10 exciting elements with multiple inversions launching at a max speed of 100 KPH. The new Air Launch Coaster at Changsha Window of the World will be the first launch coaster by S&S to have inversions. The coaster is set to open the beginning of 2019.


Looks like another S&S Air Launch Coaster is coming to China next year (the 5th one to be built now).

Any idea if it's a clone or one of those wonky custom ones?

It will definitely be custom as it will be the first to have inversions.

The Knock-off arrow loop screw, the ride which the S&S Launch Coaster will be replacing, has been knocked down. It had been SBNO for a few years:

Trains don't look any different compared to their non-inverting ones. This is good. :)
