Good info. I died with the star wars name... "what?"

Some things I’d like to point out: You mentioned that the lift hills on Vekoma’s coasters are pretty silent compared to the ones on Arrow’s coasters. However that is not usually the case, as the lift hill on Batwing at Six Flags America sounds similar to that of a construction jackhammer. Also, Drachen Fire wasn’t removed immediately in 1998. It stood SBNO until 2002 when it was eventually removed and sold for scrap. It was hoped that it would be relocated to another park, but no parks wanted to buy it, so off to the scrapyard it went. Plus, Ninja at Six Flags St. Louis was originally one of the star attractions of Expo 86 in Vancouver, where it was known as “Scream Machine”. After Expo 86 concluded, it was packed up and shipped off to Six Flags St. Louis, and was renamed to “Ninja”. Also, X2 opened in January 2002, a month after Arrow filed for Bankruptcy for what would be the final time. X2 did have a pass holder opening on Christmas Eve day of 2001. Plus it was supposed to have opened in the summer of that year but many mechanical issues caused its opening to be delayed until after 2001 turned to 2002.

UNI Sans is one of my favourite fonts, recognised it instantly lol

Am I the only person in the world who loves jerky transitions on Arrow coasters? It saves some, especially the mine trains, from being boring sleeping pills.

As far as old goes... I love arrow! The jankiness is a welcome change from most other coasters. Vekoma is my current favorite manufacturer though, sooo...

Awesome video! It can certainly be difficult to tell the two apart so this will definitely help those who have trouble distinguishing the two.

thank you so much for clearing that up!

Very good and informative video. Keep up the good hard work man!

Runaway Train is my only home parks Arrow Dynamics coasters.

4:13 an awesome ride experience, not a uncomfortable experience... you mixed them up!

Mammut and Shaman (Magic Mountain in 1985) are both (Old) Vekoma's Coaster located in Gardaland, Italy... I think you should try Mammut because it's very long, it's so funny and it's very, very well themed!!!

So blue hawk at Six flags over Ga. Was originally an arrow looper. Vokoma just took over the project

If I'm not mistaken, the only place where you can find Arrow coasters in Europe is at Blackpool Pleasure Beach, so if you're in Europe, there's a 99% chance it's a Vekoma coaster. Both manufacturers were big innovators in their own way. Anyway thanks for the video, I've always had a hard time figuring out which manufacturer it was between Arrow and Vekoma.

Can we also talk about the supports on arrow coasters. On arrow coasters on the corkscrews and loops the supports wrap around the elements but vekoma just uses the common supports

Great video, subscribed

6:03 there’s a couple exceptions to this, like Drachen Fire and Canyon Blaster

I have to say every Vakoma I’ve ridden I’ve felt beat up after more so than any-other coaster manufacture.

For some reason, I keep thinking Ninja/Blue Hawk at Six Flags over GA was an Arrow coaster, but alas, Vekoma. Was Arrow originally suppose to build it?

There are also Vekoma roller coasters that have cloned layouts of Arrow roller coasters, an example would be Big Loop at Heide Park in Germany this ride only mirrored the layout of Dragon Fyre from Canadas Wonderland.

Bruh why did you have to mention Vekoma flying Dutchman’s because firehawk was my favorite ride and got shut down 😭😭

They actually have put vest restraints on an Arrow. Hot Wheels Sidewinder at Dreamworld uses vest restraints. Although it has Vekoma built trains.

Arrow dynamics lifts hills vs vekoma lift hill Arrow dynamics: *loud annoying anti-rollback noises* Vekoma: HAHA Lift hill go BRRRRRRRRRRR!!

there is new vekoma coming to the us and they are building it at Dollywood

Does Vekoma still use the Arrow track?

at darien lake there is a good arrow and two decent/bad vekomas

oh and i much prefer arrows the just so likable you cant hate a arrow coaster with a passion thats vekoma

I want new Vekoma in the US, too. Believe me..

Can you ever RMC a steel coaster? Ever heard of Phantom’s Revenge and Steel Phantom?

Arrow is a great manufacturer. But I also don't mind SLCs. As far as old goes though, I'll take Arrow

Arrow were legendary innovaters, not afraid of a challenge. And Vekoma... they just stole arrow's track and never did made any changes or upgrades until recently

I like the video, but 6:45 is completely wrong. B&M was only considered. There pricings were too high and arrow was actually planned to make it all along. This is common misinfo, so I dont blame you. Source: ElToroRyan

6:57 umm srry but this was a arrow project 100% of the time never B&M
