Make sure and put this classic Arrow looper on your to-ride-list.It is a first class coaster with a world record title.So ifyou go to SFWOA do not over look it.You'll be glad you didn't.

I rode it several time in 2000. This year when I was there it was closed. Don't overlook it. Definately ride it as it's an aging classic that may end up like King Cobra at PKI if nobody is riding it. I hope it never ends up like that though.

It's open again? Us Arrow-lovers were getting worried about its status...

I was amazed how smooth this ride was last year when I was on it. Definately a good old Arrow.

I would of love to have ridden it when I was there. However I don't know why its SBNO. I do like those types of coasters. The ONe I love the most is The Oreint Express at WOF (It's not as rough as people say it is, it just a plain good ride). If I got to ride it I probally would of loved it.

I'd rather spend my time on a worth-while coaster.

Its too bad all you can say is how much you dislike this classic. There is a saying, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.

i wish my local arrow would go, its like the defunct knotts corkscrew but with a loop after the drop and it hurts like hell. its so old that if ya kicked it, it would fall apart, 82 it was constructed, in its history it has had only one change and that was the removal of the 7th car on the single train recently,the loops are quite smooth, the fear fall gives a nice alt ride to it but it cant be missed due to the fact its an important ride in new zealand history......i guess its ok...................................one unusual thing is there is no transfer track or shed and all joints are welded instead of bolted........explain pleeze

And just a question about intamin giant drops, theres a shed just by the tower, whats it for???

YOU THINK A COASTER BUILT IN 1982 IS OLD. CHECK OUT THE CLASSICS AT KENNYWOOD! Built in 1920's! Those things are awesome, however, they just don't make coasters like the used to. (CBC ANYONE? :) )

For me it was very fun. It was just a relaxing ride after Superman Batman and X-Flight:)

Double Loop is a great starter coaster. It's sleek, re-ridable and not painful. Plus, it was the first coaster to feature two verticle loops.
