montezooma Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I loved the Orient Express. The name was great, it fit nicely into the themed section of the park, the station fit the theme and overall the ride was fun to ride and watch. Gemini is also a great arrow coaster, i wish more of this style was built. I t is smooth, fast, fun and the capacity kicks a$$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
**McFly** Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Interesting to read all of the comments. I don't think too many people think about Arrow Coasters anymore, but back in the day they were the sh!t. There are still some really good rides out there, but most of them are getting old. For me, when Viper at SFMM first opened I was hooked. When X at SFMM first Opened I was hooked. Years from now we will probably see the same type of thread, but it will be B & M instead of Arrow....

deaconnor Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 To me it's Tennessee Tornado. Front row ride is awesome. Great ride. It's one of the fastest too, at 70+mph. Not rough at all either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRapidsNerd Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Fave Arrow? Pipeline Coaster Prototype. Always thought that concept was cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medusa1861 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Excalibur at Valleyfair! Short but SWEET! I'd still say most underrated coaster in Minnesota... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natatomic Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Magnum, with Tennessee Tornado a decently distanced second. I dunno, I tend to have near-black outs on Arrow loopers more than any other type of coasters, so while I still ride them, they're just not my favorite.

gatorchomp83 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 By far, Tennessee Tornado! Smooth, GREAT location and I have to remind myself everytime that it IS an Arrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canobie Coaster Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 For me it's good ole Nessie. Those two drops at the beginning and the uncharacteristically smooth ride for an Arrow won me over. Big Bad Wolf is the close second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraken613 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Tennessee Tornado! Its the smoothest Arrow ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reon Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Vortex at KI. One of my favorite coasters at the park, and its FILLED with airtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacoasterrider Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I love Big Bad Wolf. That second drop is a experience that you will not find on many other coasters. Head first at the water then slung on you're side with the watter at you're ear. Great theming too I'd love to ride Tennessee tornado tho, it looks awesome.

raptorcrew2002 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Multi-Loop: Drachen Fire. (Yes I said it) Simply for being the most unique Arrow design and I always had fun riding it. You just had to know how to sit and where to brace Prototype: X. Still has not been fully visualized and utilized for what this ride system could be, and can do. But still a very fun ride either way.

the ghost Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I really liked Nessie, the interlocking loops are great, I also love BBW second drop over the lake. That was the single crazies moment of any coaster ever because I could swear I was about to invert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoogleMickey Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 X is truly amazing, and if I had to choose a more traditional roller coaster it have to be Viper. Its amazing, but thats only since they adjusted the trains. Before they fixed it up, I thought it was the worst ride ever, no joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groteslurf Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Big Bad Wolf. That's really a great ride. Especially the 2nd drop is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansrubens Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Don't know if Phantom's Revenge counts as a real Arrow. My 2nd favorite Arrow must be Loch Ness Monster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlambert21 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Tennessee Tornado by far # 1 for me only smooth looper. Then Loch Ness #2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
