Hey all, I was wondering if anybody knew the dimensions of an old Arrow looping coaster car? Even rough estimates are good, I figure the front car is about 6ft long, but it just doest look right when I try to model it. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance

3 ft by 5 ft by 2 ft for all but the lead car.

3ft across, 5ft long, 2ft high?

Maybe its just me, but that seems a little small, especially the 2ft dimension. Maybe the proportions are correct though.

There's no way that they're only 3 feet accross. You can't get 2 people sitting side by side in only 3 feet.

I'm only roughly guessing here, but I'd say that 5 or 6 feet accross is more likely, and 6-8 feet long (remember leg room on top of the seats), and around 3 feet high.

Maybe try contacting one of the parks that have an Arrow looper and try asking them? You might have better luck getting that kind of information from a small park.

LOL. Funny thing is, if you're there on a slow day, I'm sure that they'll let you without any problem. :)
