Thrust Air 2000

A Thrust Air 2000 (commonly known as a thrust air coaster) is a unique form of launched roller-coaster created by S&S Worldwide, Inc., that uses refrigerated, compressed air to shoot a rubber-wheeled car down a steel track. The Dodonpa is the only production model in existence. It was once the fastest roller coaster in the world and is still one of the fastest accelerating roller coasters in the world. There is another model, the Hypersonic XLC, which is now defunct. Both models were fabricated by Intermountain Lift, Inc.

Prototype

The prototype Thrust Air 2000 was made in 1999 at the S&S Power plant in Utah.
