| Arrowbatic?
I was going thorogh arrow dynamics web site and I came across the arrowbatic.Don't get me wrong I knew about it before but not what it could do.I mean vertical dives on a inverted coaster would be so cool.It looked like it had great swing action and looked like a sweet ride.My question is,does aroow have theses ready to be made,like is arrow just waiting for a park to buy one or what?Also I never knew they made Virginia Reel's and thoses look fun too. Thanks for any info. |

I think Arrowbatic is ready to go. Parks just have to request it. I don't think they have yet, because a lot of parks either already have a wild mouse or large B&M inverted, and are simply not interested. |

ArrowBATic looks awesome! I hope they start popping up like mad! (pardon the pun... MAD mouse, you know?)

What exactly is the Virginia Reel though? it looked like a spinning barrel at the Arrow website.

that coaster is so compact and intense; I love its elements. SFMM should get one of those and still retain the title of having the most coasters

I gotta admit, arrowBATic is an impressive sight for such a small coaster. I didn't even know it was just a more intense version of Arrow's mad mouse coasters. I think the arrowBATic coasters would be perfect for theme parks that don't really have that much space. I mean according to the Arrow Dynamics web-site, the arrowBATic coaster is meant to be situated at a small foot-print of land. It doesn't require a lot of space to build. I also like how they designed the ride to easily maneuver most intense twists, turns, and drops with pin-point accuracy. An inverted coasters with a 90° would be really awesome! Since each of the coaster's coaches is said to only board up to 5 passengers, wouldn't its hourly ride capacity be really long? I mean if a coaster like this opened at a park, it'll attract a lot of people and the lines would be super long since it doesn't have trains. I saw the restraints for the coaster on a coaster special on TV, and I thought they were really cool! The new restraint system kind of resembles X's restraints. The restraints for arrowBATic look awesome because they simulate more freedom and you can actually raise your hands like on Intamin loopers (Intamin's OTS restrains enable you to raise your hands freely like on Volcano: The Blast Coaster). Although the coaster design does seem innovative and unique, I don't think it'll be too popular because it would be in major competition with the B&M inverteds and Vekoma SLC's of today. No matter how cool arrowBATic may seem, I don't think it'll really be able to compete with the much larger B&M inverted coasters and the Vekoma SLC's. Oh well, we'll just have to wait and see where the first arrowBATic's gonna be.

I know of a purple inverted that does a spiraling vertical drop! It was compact just like the ArrowBatic. I think it was called Pax Scream

It looks cool.. lets hope lots of parks install there extreme model, whatever its called. This will be great, Arrow, after nearly a decade are comming back hard, and, I hope they will be big competition for the monotonous B&M and Vekoma inverteds. As for the Virginia Reel, what it is a classic ride which Arrow have brough back. What it will consist of is a round car, which will have wheels on the bottom, which allow the train to not only go down the specially designed track (which is like a big gutter that the trains roll down) but they will also be able to spin, using the corners to start the spinning by having sharp turns, which the inside edge of the train will grab onto the and make the outside edge spin. Its really a family coaster but will be fun nonetheless.

Imagine your neighborhood B&M inverted going 150-200ft tall and then dropping 90 degrees STRAIGHT DOWN...then add 3-5 inversions and tight Mad Mouse like turns and what do you have?? A new innovative ride that will give B&M some competition and basically push out those old style vekoma SLC's to European parks :) I envision these ArrowBATics being built all over. I know that arrow has a ton of orders to fill in the next 2 years, let's hope this coaster is included in those orders since it has been over 2 years since this coaster was introduced to the public. I still wonder why smaller parks haven't taken advantage of this one yet....bad mistake

There isn't a demand for them and they are expensive

When parks need to put a world-class coaster on a small print of land they should turn to the ArrowBATic...this thing is awesome and looks pretty intense.

HMMMM small footprint...parks that need intense rides..hmmmm Lets see.....KBF could use one....badly..once they get their falbed coaster(giga/hyperlaunched whatever u think it is) they will have cramed a lot of coasters in their park......this would be a great solution......and they would have more of an chance against SFMM and DCA....right now they dont even bleong in their league

KBF beats the pants off of DCA and many parks can't even compete with SFMM. KBF is great for what it is and would greatly benifit from an ARROWbatic as well as many other small parks that want big thrills.
