    Such a shame to see an iconic company fall away like that but wow they certainly went for it at the end. Brilliant video and fascinating!

      Without Arrow, we wouldn't have such classics like Carolina Cyclone. 😅 Your fave, right? But thanks for watching!

    I've heard about the proposed Stratosphere coasrer before - & a bit about Arrow's history - but never heard them put together so informative yet enjoyable in our video. Well done!!! Fantastic stuff!!

      Fury 325 at Carowinds, I hope to go on an even taller one eventually

    It’s a shame what happened to Arrow as they were iconic in the industry when I was growing up. I didn’t ride X when I went to Six Flags Magic Mountain as I was too scared. Nor sure I’d have rode the one at the Stratosphere either.
    Nice to see the Shah of Iran with Walt Disney, now his involvement in the story of Disney's Persian Resort and the other 2 cancelled Walt Disney World Resorts would be an interesting one to explore.

    This project has always fascinated me! Crazy how one coaster could be such a blow for an iconic coaster manufacturer. Also, the little Leviathan cameo at the beginning made me inexplicably giddy 🤪

    sorry to correct you obviously but the first corkscrew did open at cedar point 3 days after six flags magic mountain revolution

    • @StorybookAmusement
      @StorybookAmusement  2 года назад

      Thanks for watching! Would you be able to share your source? From what I can see, Cedar Point's Corkscrew opened in 1976, as did Revolution. However, Corkscrew at Knott's was the prototype and opened in 1975.
