S&S Axis Coasters going to Saudi Arabia

[Zeock]

This is exciting because these will be the world's first S&S Axis Coasters, although I wouldn't want to go to Saudi for obvious reasons.

Nope. Never. Not happening.

Nope. Never. Not happening.

I think that's the standard response to a Saudi woman asking to do almost anything.

A look at the first S&S Axis Coaster, which is being installed at an indoor entertainment centre in Saudi Arabia:



A very short layout, but you do go around twice. The restraints look like they could be rather uncomfortable mind.

I think it's a shame the first S&S Axis is going to be indoors. I was looking forward to seeing how they behave on a proper layout but it will be difficult to see in the dark!

I wonder if the two launches will be different speeds. I wouldn't be surprised if, say, a direction change that doesn't induce a 360 spin would induce a spin if take a few mph faster. It would add variety for the second lap.
