I don't know if this is new to anyone but did you know that Vekoma filed for bankruptcy.
And Arrow Dynamics
And Chance.

I know a shame [V]

but Chance got bought by D.H. Morgan and now its Chance-Morgan.

And I think arrow got bought by S&S Power. Their were rumors that six flags wanted to buy arrow for its 4-D plans so they could have D.H. Morgan or Togo help them fix X fully. i don't know i think its just speculation but I guess they cant compete with the new heavy wieghts like Intamin AG and B&M. [|)]

i thought someone had bumped an acient post when i red this. All the above happen ages ago.
Vekoma went bankrupt either last year or this year (i think it was last year) for causes i cant remember at the time, must be slow buisness.
X @ sfmm bankrupt arrow which were then bought by S&S Power hence the new comany S&S Arrow. And chance as you said were bought by morgan hence Chance Morgan. This happen ages back, right after X first opened
