CP_fan_boy Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 What do you think is the worst Arrow coaster ever? I say Corkscrew at Michigan's Adventure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbalvey Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 The now gone, but not missed Orient Express was pretty damn bad! Â And that thing I rode at Ocean Park the other day was right up there also. Â --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrowfanman Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 To tell you the truth, I, arrowfanman, have been on, I believe only 6 Arrows...lol. Â ...Hey...I picked my name cuz its catchy! (not to mention, of the 6 Arrows I have been on, none are really bad). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USRoadTripper Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 I seem to remember getting off of Vortex at PKI thiinking that it was the rougest steel coaster I'd ever ridden. I didn't ride it on my last trip there...and I can certainly say that a few SLCs and boomerangs have taken over the bottom few spots, but I'd still say Vortex takes it as worst Arrow. -Julie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteornotes Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 GASM at SFGAdv. What a giant assed pile of crap. Â The Corkscrew at MI at least has the unique feature of having the track run through some guy's garage... Â dt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pvcoasterguy Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 I'd probably say Demon at Six Flags Great America is the roughest one, however, it's still a really fun ride. If they would just reprofile the the drop off the midcourse/entrance to corkscrews, it would be fun. That's the only rough spot, but it's very bad. Â Suprisingly, Shockwave was very smooth for my ride. It was also very intense, and very smooth. It was as smooth as Kraken at Sea World (I know, unbelievable.) But, I'm telling you, if you sit in the back car of the Arrow multi-loopers, it's smooth. (I think the trailer is back there, which makes it smoother.) I guess that technique also works on Ninja at SFOG. Can anyone confirm that? Â In comparison, I've been on: Shockwave, Six Flags Great America Demon, Six Flags Great America Cedar Creek Mine Ride, Cedar Point Gemini, Cedar Point Corkscrew, Cedar Point Magnum XL-200, Cedar Point Python, Busch Gardens Tampa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benzo41190 Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 ^I have ridden Shockwave many times in the back and I never had a smooth ride. The front isnt as bad as the back. In the back you get whipped around all of the turn and inversions which makes your head slam more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shockwave Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 From the ones I've been one, I'd have to say the Pepsi Max Big One. Â Definetly not Arrow's finest hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EpcotLova Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Arrow mine trains hurt pretty good. Â The ones at SFOG and PC are prime examples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coasterlicious Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Magnum is overated... it was a little rough.. but lots of airtime.. and fat people friendly lapbars.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagnumForce Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 GASM at GADV is probably my personal worst along with MIA's Corkscrew. Â Neither compares to one certain Togo at SFGADV or even that horrible Vekoma at SFSTL. Â I do hold three Arrow Coasters in very high regards though, Magnum, Gemini, and Tennessee Tornado.

Erik Johnson Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Yes if you sit in the back car front seat of the Ninja at SFOG..the ride is actually quite fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagnumForce Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 I actually like SFOG's Ninja, it has a great layout, SFSTL's is just utterly horrible though, but these are both Vekomas and not Arrows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EroticVulture Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 Some padding in the seats (and back) would be helpful. At some point during an Arrow coaster I usually end up banging my spine on the hard plastic back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChainDog Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 I'm with Rob on this one. Orient Express was almost unrideable its last few years. In its day, it was okay, but that "helix" at the end was painful from the day it opened! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EpcotLova Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 Wow! Its actually good to see other people who rode Ninja that didnt think it was evil! I rode in the front and the back and it didnt hurt in either seat. In fact it was pretty fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costakid Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 Almost any Arrow with OTSRs. It sucks being tall on an Arrow with OSTRs not cause of head banging, but you have to cruch down to fit in the ride, and then your shoulders are pressed against the OSTRs and any rattleing or roughness is transfered directly into your shoulders, while your are semi-crouching to fit. Neck banging is also possible, if your not pinned so tightly that you can't move. Viper @ MM is my worst experiance with this, I loved it untill I broke 6'. I would have loved an on-site chiropractor after that POS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
What Now Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 It's scary how many Arrows I've been on. There are waaaay too many out there. My least favorite would have to be Pepsi Max Big One. How the Brits love that ride, I have no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coasterkid20 Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 In my opinion all arrows suck, and this includes Tennessee Tornado, out of 10 I'd give it an 8 in the back and a 5 in the front. So like a 6.5 average, and that is the best of the bunch......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECZenith Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 Any of the dozen corkscrews I've been on fit the bill. Â (Almost as bad and as numerous as Vekoma Boomerangs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 GASM at SFGAd was one of two coasters ever that made me bleed, so that one is probably at the top! Orient Express is probably pretty close! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
