Other Information
- A good Inverted Wild Mouse Coaster is all about tight turns and sudden drops - the more intense, the better.
In Real Life
- This ride was a prototypical model made by the company Arrow Dynamics. They were never able to build a real world version of this ride due to bankruptcy issues in their latter years which eventually lead to a buy-out from the company S&S, they are still around but are now known as S&S arrow.
- Golden Horse, a China-based ride manufacturing company, makes an inverted wild mouse coaster model (XGC-4A). There are six extant examples, all located within China. Golden Horse is known for their "knock off" ride styles; the XGC-4A model may very well be based on the Arrow Dynamics inverted wild mouse prototype.
