S&S Power Inc. has their eye on Arrow Dynamics

Well, if Arrow was not in financial trouble, they could fix X and Six Flags would not have to buy it! And it is not just the 10,000, it also includes dropping the 6 millions dollar suit against Arrow, something I think is justified (the suit).

Either way, I hope someone gobbles up Arrow to fix X and bring a 4D east!

Lumpy72, how about Air-row Guy! ROTFL....just think, and air-powered 4-D.....

I think it would be cool if S&S bought out Arrow, what's weird is that these companies homebase's are located less than an hour away from each other, so it would be very convenient if S&S bought Arrow, atleast in some aspects. Both of these companies have very creative designs and technologies for rides, and two great minds are better than one, think of the possibilities.

One dude made a good point though. Both S&S and Arrow, as of late, produce very buggy coasters. That is why I said it would be better for B&M or Intamin to take over Arrow. They might swallow Arrow up but I don't think anything can stop Arrow from going unless they pull themselves out of danger, which is unlikely given recent track record. If B&M or Intamin take over, hopefully they will see that Arrow has good ideas and work to implement them and improve in the areas that Arrow has shown struggle, such as reliability. B&M so far is well known for reliable rides. It is a smaller company than Intamin but it produces some very good stuff. With its unique car design, imagine what B&M could have done for the coaster formerly known as Drachen Fire. The poor aging that Arrow coasters see could be improved with B&M's highly smooth system.

B&M would not touch Arrow. Why add a potential headache when you've got a good thing going? Innovation is S&S middle name, they wouldn't need to change much with a purchace of Arrow, both companies are headed down similar paths anyway, at least in terms of wild inventions.

If S&S manages to buy Arrow, I am sure the bid will be very high. I really hope they succeed though, this is just what S&S needs. Obviously, S&S has tried to make a statement when trying to enter the coaster world. If they do buy Arrow, then they would become one of the premier roller coaster companies in the world, along with amazing flats. S&S could really capitalize on this, and make a fortune. It would be nice though if S&S let Arrow keep its name. I like the name Arrow Dynamics. Then there would be 2 parts of the S&S Power company. One part would be the S&S part, the freefall rides and other insane thingamagigs. The other part would be the roller coaster part, Arrow Dynamics. So basically what I am saying is, I want Arrow's new name to be like this in the future. Same facility, same engineers, and same everything except for the name.

Cedar Point vs. SFMM-like 15 isnt enough?

Vipper, those are two completely different worlds. Very unlikely it will happen. And all coasters age, even B&Ms. They haven't been around as long, but some have reached a point where its just not a pleasant ride. I love their inverts, so I'm not 100% Arrow bias. But we won't see B&M interfere with this. S&S is very probable, but I don't think it stops there. I have my own reasons for speculation.....lets all just sit back, relax, and enjoy the rest of the season. Did someone say Double Loop is open?
