How do we know that Drachen Fire is going to get completly torn to pieces?

Because BGW told Amusement Buisness that it's being recycled for scrap metal.  Is that good enough?

Or BGW could get smart and just make the trains have lap bars for LNM.

Also you'd think Tennessee Tornado would of had the new train.

Quite the opposite. They run the old style, pointy trains.

You might have confused the track style. TT features the new Arrow track style--smaller, more round; but same gauge.

DF trains will run on LM, but... if it ain't broke... ;)

just a quick thought,  when i went to Alton Towers over the summer, i seem to remember that their old arrow corkscrew had retrofited arrow trains that looked like the same style trains that df had,  without the lights of course.

Alton Tower's Corkscrew is a Vekoma.

The New Trian wouldn't had fitted the Theming therefore Arrow allowed them to use the old design styled like Mine Cars. This also tells you Arrow does both types of trains.

Hey, the "DF" style trains may look less restrictive, but believe me they ain't! They are more open, yes. But there is less foot room, and restraints that don't allow you to move your arms anywhere above your shoulders.

Mind you they still are very comfortable.

Hey, if they wanted to, they could put the trains on Nessie, heck, I'm pretty sure if they really wanted to, they could put the trains on a Vekoma SLC (I must admit, that would look very very funky).

Like every other soul has said here, if it ain't broke, don't fix it - thats how you ruin a perfectly good toaster.

So what if the best coaster in Australia is a second hand Arrow?

Does anyone have any pictures of the lights on Drachen Fire's trains?  I never knew about them until now.  Also BGW said they are either going to keep Drachen Fire's trains or are gonna send them back to Arrow for right now anyway.
