Arrow’s suspended coaster model was arguably their best, but could there have been more had the company not gone bankrupt? Today I discuss the history of the Arrow Dynamics suspended coaster, and what could have been.

Would have loved to experience Eagle's Fortress and Big Bad Wolf. I've been on Iron Dragon and Bat and I love Bat.

As my home park the bat is a great coaster even though kings island needs to replace the lift motor because it’s really slow up the lift but I didn’t go this year because COVID

What makes vampire such a great ride in my opinion is that it's an overall experience that features grate theming in the area, que line and station plus an amazing soundtrack

@AnotherSwissYoutubeUser 3 года назад

The corkscrew was never incorporated because the inconsistent behavior of the swinging train could be extremely dangerous during a corkscrew.

@michaezell4607 4 года назад

Unfortunately the invention of the inverted coaster effectively made the arrow suspended coaster obsolete.

@ConceptualCoasters 4 года назад

Yup, quite sad :(

@stevemac2009 3 года назад

Arrow discontinued the model 2 years after Top Gun was built and only supplied parts until their bankruptcy. The fact of the matter is that X wasn’t the reason that we stopped seeing this model. At that time they were trying more to push their multi-looping coasters and their hyper models. If memory serves me correct, Vekoma purchased the rights to the model after arrow’s demise and they were later merged with Sansei Technologies who bought out S&S. I believe S&S supplies maintenance parts to all models in North America and Vekoma supports the European model.

Great video and recap of the Arrow suspended coaster! Small correction, but at 5:26 you say that The Bat was built with a corkscrew. This is not true - your accompanying photo is just a test track at Arrow's facility; The Bat was never built with any inversions.

@ConceptualCoasters 4 года назад

Source? I believe you but that’s interesting because you can see some other track in the picture and I can’t find anything about a corkscrew at the facility outside of the tiny model I showed.

@KingsIslandHistory 4 года назад

Got to ride one of them when I was in Thailand. It was at a park called 'Dreamland' and was pretty fun, if tame. The cars were airplanes. :)

Phantom Coasters can you do Schiff Wild Mouse coasters history?

@ConceptualCoasters 4 года назад

Possibly, if I can find enough

@zacharylunsford2 4 года назад

Phantom Coasters and do not forget that B. A. Schiff & Associates sold all their materials to British holiday company Butlin’s. Also do not forget to mention that One at Brean Leisure Park was last remaining Schiff / Butlins Wild Mouse coaster ever operating until 1997 when they closed the ride.

Wow you seem so salty of X.

@sloviscelery2135 4 года назад

X wasn't the reason Arrow went under, the fishook on the stratosphere was. In the an ACE interview with Alan Shilke ( ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0f5wb8sbEdY.html) He right up says that they were all banking on the Project, and with no other projects on the go, they had put all their resources into the fishook, and then couldn't find another project.

@ConceptualCoasters 4 года назад

didn’t X cause them to lose a lot of resources though, which meant that they had to hope the fishook worked out?
