Wait one second! There is some sort of Arrow suspended coaster going to the new Speed Festival in Spain, the new park that opens in September 2003. The park will include an Intiman hyper coaster, Mack bobsleigh, and an Arrow suspended coaster.

FoF, when people refer to BBW as being the first, they probably mean first succesful suspended....i would hope that most people on this site now know about the Bat and its demise....
one more thing, correct me if im wrong, but didnt BBW open in 1986?? and if it did, did XLR8 open that same year, or did it indeed open in 1984?? just wanted to set that straight....:)
Tim (whos always proud when a Virginia park can boast another coaster record, hehe:))

Here is a qoute off of Arrow's site.
"The suspended coaster made its debut in 1984 with the XLR-8 at Six Flags Astroworld, and the Big Bad Wolf at Busch Gardens Williamsburg. Arrow currently has ten suspended coasters in operation all over the world. "
Has anyone else seen the new vekoma trains for the arrow-built vampire? Definitely something that I'd like to see on Top Gun.
