S&S are more of a thrill ride manufacturer than a coaster manufacturer. That's not to say they don't make coasters, it's just that they are more well known for their innovative flat rides.S&S was founded by Stan Checketts in 1989, and started to manufacture reliable bungee jump towers under the name of Sports Tower Inc. In 1993 came another division of S&S, S&S Sports Inc, who made trampoline equipment. |
In 1994, S&S started to manufacture thrill rides for amusement parks, the "Space Shot" tower ride being their first creation.
Sports Tower Inc. and S&S Sports Inc. were sold in 1995 and 1996 respectively, allowing the newly labeled S&S Power to concentrate on pneumatically powered rides.
Some S&S Power rides can have teething problems when first installed. 'Slammer', a Sky Swat, and 'Rush', a Screamin' Swing, both at Thorpe Park, suffered from reliability issues when they first opened in 2005.
In 2002, S&S Power acquired bankrupted coaster manufacturers Arrow Dynamics, which is now known as "S&S Arrow".
