2.) Arrow did make stand-up trains for one coaster, they didn't work out and they were taken off. Also, the coaster would have to be designed to accomodiate the raised heartline level.

I think air-filled tires might create too much friction to work on a ride designed with solid wheels. Arrow's wheels are made from either nylon or polyurethane...I can't remember which.

2) The current rails on Arrows are round tubes. S&S's air filled tire technology requires flat topped rails. A round rail would result in greater tire deflection resulting in even more friction and possible tire failure.
3) A restraint conversion of the type that Premier has been doing would be cheaper and more practical. It is also very effective.
