(Fantasy)


The year is 2001; early-December. The Arrow Dynamics roller coaster company is currently in construction of a classic Arrow hyper-coaster. On a routine Tuesday dawnbreak, the on-site crew is constructing the rides mid-course break run. They're almost to completion of the break section, when an urgent message is sent from Arrow Headquarters: Stop Building. The site was quickly cleared of all workers, all tools, all steel. What was left standing was the unfinished structure of what has now come to be known as Arrows final coaster. Days after the immediate cancellation, The company, formerly known as the Arrow Dynamics design company, filed for Bankruptcy protection, and weeks later was shut down forever. The coaster stood there, days upon weeks. Nothing touched it except the dust in the wind. The demolition crew was scheduled to arrive at the site in one week. Just days before the demolition date, a brand new company came out of the blue and ordered the demolition to cancel. The Head Coasters company, a (loose) branch off Intamin, wanted to continue the coaster. They built off of the end of the break run, adding twists and loops and wild turns. After years, conception to completion, the, appropriately named, Arrowhead, was opened to the public.


My future NL coaster idea; comments are welcome.

The story was certainly intruiging! Kept me sucked for a while [;)]

It sounds cool. So, like, the first half will be like an Arrow, but after the brakes, it'll start to twist like an Intamin? Tightass...

Not sure everyone will like the Arrow/Intamin style. That'll involve two different kinds of supporting.

Sounds like a cool idea, have you started working on it yet, or just thinking still?

Tie, why 2001? Why not 2015 or something, so it probably can seem realistic?

I have the arrow beginning done, and the basic first half of the Head layout done.

Because Arrow went bankrupt in 2001...

There's your answer.

I agree, but it is too early for screenshots, really.

But the story is a fantasy, however...

Fantasy, in that Head Coasters does not exist, the Arrowhead does not exist, and Intamin (Or Intamin-related) wouldn't want to finish an Arrow coaster.

^Yes I do. [:)]
I will need some support help though; as in when I do them I need suggestions and I need to get an experienced NL person to see if the supports are realistic.
