    Arrow is a legend. They ruled the roller coaster world at one point. I have so much respect for their innovation and ideas. I miss you Ron Toomer! Rest In Peace.

      Wrong. Look up Togo Ultra Twister videos. The Ultra Twister is basically a pipeline coaster, and it's much more modern. Togo no longer makes them, but there are still lots of videos of them on here. Before saying something stupid like "The only pipeline video", maybe do research before commenting.

      i had the pleasure of riding this coaster in ( now defunct Shaab Park in Kuwait back in 03-04). it was something so unique. from what i remember it was way slower than in the video if my memory is correct.
      here is a link that explains how it located in South Korea and finally relocated to Kuwait:

      @feargalb7913 8 лет назад +2

      +Kyle Gardner There were plans by John Wardley to open a rollercoaster of this sort at Alton Towers in the '90s, but when he travelled over to ride the prototype they discovered that it was too slow and bulky, and that it would have been too boring to be financially efficient and exciting to open one. This is probably the main reason that they scrapped this coaster type. I do know however that there are TOGO pipeline coasters operating in multiple parks in Japan.

    • @utahcoasterenthusiasts
      @utahcoasterenthusiasts  6 лет назад +3

      Ron Toomer designed rides using a piece of wire in his office. Alan S. came to Arrow too late to save it. He was responsible for the Tennessee Tornado.

    • @bocahdongo7769
      @bocahdongo7769 3 года назад

      Simply because it's still easier and okay to twist the track around main spine. Espescially when Arrow track isn't designed for high intensity long duration low to the ground element. So smoothness isn't the main concern.
      At least before B&M destroy them into the piece.
