Your first Arrow Dynamics coaster

[hoppedup]

Carolina Goldrusher at Carowinds in 1978

 

Then Carolina Cyclone in 1980. Corkscrew at Myrtle Beach Pavilion in the early 80s.

 

2017: Anaconda, Loch Ness Monster, Tennessee Tornado, Dahlonega Mine Train

Python at BGT.

 

I Googled that coaster and found this interesting tidbit on Wikipedia:

A few weeks after the ride opened, a 39-year-old heart patient died shortly after riding the Python. The ride's tagline ("I challenged the Python and lived!") had to be pulled.

D'oh!

Anaconda at Kings Dominion.

^^ Yeah, I heard about that. Poor guy, he just couldn't handle the sheer mind-numbing intensity of the Python.

My first Arrow was Loch Ness Monster at BGW . . . .

My first Arrow was Matterhorn Bobsleds at DLP. My first Arrow looper was Viper @ SFMM.

As rough as it is, Matterhorn is still loads of fun, especially if it races.

 

Fixed. I haven't seen them send off two trains at the same time, in a long, long time. My bad timing, I guess.

When I was there in Sept.'16 it "almost" happened, when I rode it a second time, on the left side.

But the right side train was "just behind us" by a few seconds.

I want to say my first Arrow coaster was Ninja at SFMM, but it could have been Viper. I can't remember which one I rode first.

That was my experience with Matterhorn as well. Went twice (single rider line is AWESOME for that ride). The first time I never saw the other train. The second it was a bit ahead of us.

Corkscrew at CP!

[Rai Fox]

First one I ever saw was the Corkscrew at Rocky Point Park, but the first one I actually got on was BGT's Python.

First for me was Carolina Cyclone at Carowinds. It was a horrible, head-banging trainwreck of a coaster.

Python at Bush Gardens Tampa

I remember racing the other train at least twice - the last time being in 2008, I believe. When I went late last year, I never even saw the other train during the course of the ride.

It was actually once a great ride....before you were born...lol It was my second Arrow coaster, and first rode it in the early/mid '90s.

 

 

Python at Bush Gardens Tampa

 

The one BGT credit I will never have. It was closed down before my first visit 10 years ago.

My first Arrow was most likely Steamin' Demon at Great Escape in Queensbury, NY. My mom grew up in the area, so we would go every year for about five years or so. I haven't been since 2001, I would guess, maybe even 2000. The first Arrow that I rode and knew it was an Arrow was Magnum XL-200.

Matterhorn Bobsleds at Disneyland. After that was Ninja at SFMM.

[Vonni]

River King Mine Train at SFStL

[steamedturtle]

Matterhorn at Disneyland for me as well. I know that was my first park, and one of my first coasters ever. I'm racking my brain to think of the second though. I'm going to have to ask someone the order of my first parks. There's a very good chance the second was either Runaway Mine Train or GASM at SFGadv.

Vortex at Canada's Wonderland.

Corkscrew at Cedar Point.
