Sounds to me like SFMM has no one to blame but themselves on the problems that they have had with X. I hope that one day, S&S can figure out how to correct those problems and come out with a reliable version. I would like to see more of these types in different parks. Here's another S&S question. How reliable is Hypersonic XLC? I figured that if it had become more reliable, then more amusement parks would be interested in getting one with a different design. I'm sure that they could make one that is much taller.

They can and they did make one taller. Its in Japan.

Speaking of Huss, is there any other competition against them? I know S&S makes a few flat rides and the very popular space-shot ride, I can't seem to think of any other competitors to Huss.

Chance and KMG make flat rides like Huss.

Do you know where I could find a picture of this larger S&S coaster that is located in Japan? How tall is it? How fast does it go?

If its a coaster (which it is) you can always find it on Roller Coaster Database (www.rcdb.com). Click Here

The name of the coaster is Dodonpa. I have no idea what that stands for. If you go into the RCDB linka bove and search for Dodonpa it will give you the coasters stats, as well as about 10 pics of it. The funky thing about it is, if you look at all the pics, some of them show the coaster operating while there is snow on the ground. I thought that most coasters couldn't run when it got that cold?

Ok so it's confirmed B&M has no official website. No need for the thread anymore....
