Best Arrow Suspended Coaster

[Nodders]

I've only ridden 4 of the 8, hopefully I get to ride BBW next year & maybe Ninja in a few years time.

Anyway, Draggin' Iron was OK ... on a par with Vampire. Top Gun was great but Vortex is the best one for me.

I rather liked Bat (PKI), but Iron Dragon gets my vote.

[Wes]

^ How could you have ridden Bat, considering you weren't even born when it was operating?

[HAJiME]

I've only been on Vampire so i shant vote, but i do love the thing to death.

 

Airtime on the back row over the second lift! LOL

[doom1001]

BBW is def the best, the drop into the river and going through the town can't be beat!!!

[PKI Jizzman]

Two good things I can say about Top Gun (PKI) are:

 

1) The first drop is pretty good, and the second drop into the valley is not bad either.

 

2) No matter how many times I ride that coaster in the front seats, that last swing into the brake run freaks me out everytime. I always feel like were gonna smack into the supports.

 

Two bad things are...

 

1) It's too short!

 

2) Most of the theming is gone, or those parts of the ques are no longer used.

 

Yea, those two drop are amazing, and the sway power it gets is also awesome! Yes, it is extremely underestimated bacause of its short ride. Reasor for it not have long lines is it has a good crew usually and people dont really wana take the hike back to it. Theming taken down? Or replaced by the Mach3 shaver?!

I like how it is almost two different rides

-Front seat feels like you are going extremely fast...super sway power.

-Back seat gives and awesome pop of airtime on the first drop and extreme sway power at the turn around by SOB

Only been on two of them, and Vortex > Iron Dragon, so that'd be my vote.

There is nothing quite as fine as riding BBW at night during a full moon when fog develops- guaranteed to be one of the best rides anytime, anywhere- and certainly one of the best designed rides of all time.

 

I took a friend on BBW for the first time a year ago- and he screamed like a little girl- I wish I had my camera!

[Scaparri]

Out of Top Gun, BBW, and Iron Dragon, I easily have to go with Top Gun.

 

The ride has an excellent pace and crazy swinging. It's just too bad it has developed such a rattle. Still a really fun ride though.

 

BBW seems to be a popular one, but it just doesn't get it done for me. The First half of the ride is too slow and boring and then it gets interrupted with and even slower and more boring lift hill, followed by 10 seconds of what is a pretty good ride. Too little, too late. Still a fun ride though.

I have to preface by saying that I have not rode BBW, but my favorite would be Top Gun @ KI.

[CoastersNSich]

Big Bad Wolf: it has the speed and action of KI's Top Gun, but much longer, and with better scenery, themed and natural.

[Bubba83]

Imagine if BBW used its speed from that 2nd drop to do some more stuff down by the water/shores before it came back to the station, now that would be awesome.

[CoasterTalk]

DEFIDENTALLY Big Bad Wolf because well... it's the only suspendedd coaster I've been on, actually. I like the drop over the Rhine River and the what seems like 90 degree angle turns... I voted BBW.

[DarkMeasures]

Why isn't The Bat in the poll? I sure there is at least one TPRer who has been on that ride.

[Calvin]

I've been on Ninja and Iron Dragon. Ninja was loads of fun, so it gets my vote. From what I know, though, PKI's Top Gun looks like it's really fantastic.

 

Does anyone else think that this kind of ride should be brought back?

[haiderodes]

Its all about Ninja for me. I love the fact you can't really see the entire ride at once, you have to walk around a bit to get the jist of the layout and even there there are still suprises. At night this ride is really great.

[Xtreme-me]

My favorite is big bad wolf, but my girlfriend's is Ninja at SFMM by far. She LOVED it on our recent (first) trip to California, we took 7 rides on it over 2 days including front deat rides in the dark, which I too can say make the ride 100 times better.

 

The pic that came with this (Pg 5) proves one major thing, Ninja REALLY needed the amazing paint job that it got! With the paint Job it looks amazing and is really starting to get noticed. I love the ride alot because of its good use of terrain and pretty much non-stop movement until the end. I think its better to have the Lift at the end and it doesnt really matter that much to anyone.

BBW. Its the only Suspended roller coaster I've been on. But I love it at night.

[KrakenKing]

I don't believe this has been posted... but here is a Front Row POV of Eagle Fortress in Korea...

 

 

The swinging on it looks INSANE, especially at the end!

[jdsmartdude911]

I've only been on Ninja and Big bad Wolf, and I have to go with Ninja, especially with the great ride I had on it Wednesday.

[BlackWidow]

I believe Iron dragon tops the rest. The ride might not be the fastest coaster out there but it is a damn fine ride. I love the mist when your over the water at the end of the ride, I think it adds a lot to the ride. Its a simple ride but a fun one.

11 people voted for Iron Dragon? That ride runs so slowly a hamster farting could valley it.

It may be slow but I still think its fun and a great ride.

Have you been on any other Arrow suspended coasters?

I have been on Ninja, vortex and BBW, out of those three I still think Iron Dragon is my favorite. I like the other ones but they are not near as much fun as Iron Dragon.
