Noch zwei Aussagen aus einem Board:

Stan Checketts, president of S&S Power, Inc., described SWAT's appeal as "the thrill of rising into the air and then safely diving face first straight down to the ground." He said, "I am extremely excited to introduce this totally new ride concept and look forward to visiting Houston to watch the public enjoy it."

"Enthusiasts and thrill-seekers are always searching out new concepts in thrilling rides. SWAT will deliver an experience no other park can boast, and it's sure to create a buzz among ride fanatics. An absolute highlight will be the amazing straight-down view at the ride's tallest point," claimed Tim Baldwin, publications director of the American Coaster Enthusiasts (ACE).
