Just found out about one opening in Ireland! Not much sue for you Americans - however its the first one within easy reach of us British types

I want it.

Anyone that knows me knows that I have a obsession with Arrow... more specifically, the corkscrew models! I would love to see them come back with newer, more up-to-date technology.

I miss Arrow. I miss the suspended models the most and if they made those with inversions that would be great.

Rip Eagle's Fortress

I think Arrow needs to make a comeback too - seems like a rather unpopular opinion nowadays

Vekoma is the new arrow essentially. Vekoma needs to stop making Boomerangs and SLC's, Lord knows we have way too damn many, and start making some loopers.

^tell Alan at rmc to bring it back but schorhaphz to come back to I love scropion

I want to see a Vekoma Tilt coaster in the US!

^oh god no I can just imagine it be as painful as a slc

I've heard they're actually fairly smooth.

I can't believe I forgot about that one.

It was more of a concept than anything, Like the arrow pipeline. That would be awesome to see too.

As long they are in the catalog and themeparks willing to buy a working concept, they won't leave. Boomerangs and SLC's are popular for a reason. It's a bunch of thrill all bundled up into a small footprint. The reason you've got so many is because Six Flags bought a shitload in one go and put them everywhere. After that, they become rough because of shitty maintenance and buying 3rd party parts.

Scratch the idea immediately. I heard that Vekoma doesn't want to build another tilt coaster any time soon. Apparently there has been so many problems with the one in Taiwan, that they refuse to build another. Then again, I doubt any themepark wants to put in a ton of money into a ride that would have a bunch of issues.

This does look awesome!

No one has bought their 12 inversion coaster. I doubt it's a concept. It looks very do-able.

Intamin and their ideas.

They replace the multiple heartline rolls with tons of corkscrews. You know, I really don't like the repetitiveness of the Intamin Multi-looper designs.

[TTD03]

^ Same here.

Agreed - especially when Smiler comes out with 14 inversion with such variety in execution!

I actually wish that there was a way to build more Arrow suspended coasters, although I'd want them to be exciting rides like The Bat at KI rather than boring ones like Iron Dragon.
