Oldest Operating Arrow Looper

Although this wasn't part of the question, Magic Harbor (Surfside Beach, SC) had the world's second corkscrew coaster. Then it was moved to the Pavilion in Myrtle Beach and now it's in South America.

Shockwave at SFGAm HAD back to back loops. First Multilooper as well I believe

Viper at SFDL was the first "true" multi-looper with five inversions.

X Factor

Viper @ SFDL was the first multi looper and then Vortex was the begining of the 6+ inversions.

Your Park only has 1 good coaster! That's too bad!

However, according to RCDB, SFWoA's Double Loop is the only one that features back to back loops as it's only inversions. Together with Nessie, they are the only two that have exclusivley loops for inversions.

Don't forget about the the Arrow shuttle loops.


I think that Viper was the first coaster that combined a bunch of different types of inversions (loop, boomerang, corkscrew) and that is why it is considered to be the first of the Arrow mega loopers.

Corkscrew at CP just received a new coat of paint in October, so it's not going anywhere.
