I know why Arrow Dynamics doesn't exist anymore!

Ok. After trying to find out why Arrow doesn't exist anymore, I finally found the reason. Remember back in 2002 when X was SBNO? The X opening date was pushed to August. But due to the design flaws, SFMM sued Arrow. SFMM won, and that caused Arrow to go out of business.

I thought this was common knowledge. I have known this for a while.

at least there isn't gonna be another X. i hate clones, and this would be a terrible waste of the originality of the ride.

Thank you for telling us something we all already knew.
I'm also pretty sure SF said they would drop the lawsuit if Arrow gave them the exclusive rights to the 4D coaster concept, but they said no.
Thankfully S&S bought Arrow and we're still seeing more from them, including a new 4D.
Hopefully soon we'll see an ArrowBATic.

We've seen more from arrow? And we're gonna see a new 4D? Where did you hear this? This is real news for me! I don't think we're gonna see another 4D for a while...But maybe we'll see one from S&S! That would be cool because S&S is a good company. I love their coasters (even though I've only been on one of their coasters- PowderKeg-but I still love them!). And if it came from S&S we could rest assured that there would be smooth transitions! YAY! lol:D

Way to read between the lines:rolleyes:
I meant that since S&S took over Arrow we're still, in a sense, seeing more from Arrow including a new 4D, which *gasp* is an Arrow design.
