Arrow needs to sell more rides

As for Arrow selling more mice...doesn't Paramount have something going on with Mack? I think that is who is building the Riccocet coasters, but I would love to see Arrow mice here in the north east.  If I had a few mil I can think of a project Arrow could do for me...I would call it Drachen Fury...the sequil to the BGW coaster...not much different, just done correctly this time.

And as for Arrow's rides, yeah they are still getting riders, but as they age and get rougher I think you will see that number diminish greatly.  I love their coasters, but cannot stand the head truama!

I havent noticed any old Arrow getting rougher because Double Loop (1977) and Corkscrew (1976) and Mine Ride (1969) and Top Gun (1993) and Viper (1980) and Canyon Blaster (1993) and Thunder Mountain (1975) are all still very smooth.

However, its rides like Vortex, Desperado and Steel Phantom that had underdeveloped transitions so the ride appears rough when its not.

Then there is that train shuffle......

PKI is the only Paramount Park W/O a mouse now and PGA currently owns an Arrow Mad Mouse

With the opening of X now, and it's rave reveiws galore, I believe they have a strong future once again.

Don't know if this has been said or not but they don't have to sell more, the parks have to buy more. That of course being if they want tobuy from Arrow or not. Hopefully after hearing such great feedback about X, they will get a little more busy in the next couple years.

Right now, I just hope Gary Story pays them for at least most of X, so they can keep their staff designing new concepts.

With the other forum going on, "Lapbars on Arrows" We have been discussing possible modifications to the rides.

I still think offering the ArrowBATic/X-style restraints for their loopers as an alternative would generate a new source of income. They could be mounted at the same position on the train, and be a simple inexpensive retrofit

Some parks, I believe, would update them. while others found it unnecessary. But still, it could indewed be a product that works.

As for selling more rides, this possible design would indeed earn the company more capital in which the company can invest within itself.
