Looping Wild Mouse??

Does anyone know of a wild mouse type coaster (single train-4 seater) that has inversion elements?? I love the tight turns, closeness to track, and the slower speeds allow me to soak up all the physics happening around me. I love the newer coasters, but I feel more like I'm in a powered high tech vehicle than "roller coasting".
Well, the arrowBATIC, an inverted wild-mouse style prototype from Arrow, has all the characteristics of a mouse, but with inversion and single train seating for five.

-----------------
Welcome to Six Flags Great America, home of the fastlane and delay-ja vu! We have now officially been deemed the world-wide wait!

Is there a working model of this prototype anywhere?? I have seen it on Arrow's website, but that is it. "Somebody buy this from Arrow, I wanna ride it"...maybe this may save Arrow as opposed to 4th dimension.

-----------------
If I wanna go 400 ft, 100 mph, I'll jump out of a plane. At least I don't have to wait in line!

The only one I can think of is "The Flying Coaster" at Six Flags Elitch Gardens. (a Zamperla Volare model)

Not exactly a wild mouse, or an inverted wild mouse, but similar.

TOGO refered to Windjammer as "the worlds only dual tracked looping wild mouse..."

They are not wild mice per se, but several portable coaster designs feature loops with 2 or 3 car trains. For example:

Any of the Pinfari Loopers pretty much fit that description

There is a tradittional mouse with a loop in Japan. It has 1-car trains and is built by togo. I've seen a picture, but I dont't know where.

Here is the coaster Ben G. is referring to. The pics are small, but it's definitely a looping wild mouse.

I went to Tobu Zoo last week. It's in Saitama, near Tokyo. They have Crazy Mouse, which has a loop. I wanted to ride, but it was down.

Shapeshifter - the Arrowbatic coaster has been available for purchase for a few years now. Don't you think that if it was really "all that" they would have popped up at parks by now? I'd say if we haven't seen one by now we probably never will.

The wild mouse in that pic(vatars pic) looks like Windjammer,lol
That's because TOGO designed it.

I was asked to describe X in one word. The word? -- OhmygoshwhathaveIgottenmyselfintothisisthescariest

Well no kiddin' well golly bee
AHHH!!! Very bad memories are brought back of Windjammer by that pic. My neck hurt the first time i rode it and for some unknown reason, I rode it again afterwards, not too bright, eh?

-----------------
Is it a dream or a memory? It's both, it's X

Wait a second, when I went to Tobu Zoo, all I saw was Regina and Mountain Rocker( Mountain Rocker is a sorry excuse for no wood, good thing they finally built Regina. Could they put some scenery or trees around that coaster? I was stunned to see this spread out double out-n-back steelie just plopped there with absolutely nothing around it. And that rusted plan white track, please put some paint on it, it would look muck better in any color but rusted old white paint. Ok, I got that off my chest ;) ), but I never saw any looping wild mouse open?!! What did that look like, I can't even remember if I saw anything like that, wait is it that little family coaster they had? No, that didn't go upside down.......

Boulder Dash-I'm just so happy to have you babe'

The closest thing I can think of is the Flip Flap thingy. Not really a Wild Mouse, though

Windjammer went upside down. Although I don't think it was a wild mouse but it did have the small trains.

Six Flags, the only chain of parks that can manage to have stacking with a one train operation.

Vertigo, the looping mouse at Tobu zoo opened in 1998. If you were there after Regina you must have missed it. It's still there! Bummer, man.
