*The most notable aspect of the Corkscrew Roller Coaster was how diverse the layouts could be. Arrow Dynamics is resposible for many of the Corkscrew roller coasters in the Six Flags parks featured in RCT2. The two most notable are Great American Scream Machine (Great Adventure, defunct as of Summer 2010) and Viper (Magic Mountain, still operating). Both of these rides were semi-copies of each other and were built in 1989 and 1990 respectively. Great American Scream Machine once held the records for World's Tallest, Tallest Looping and Fastest rollercoaster in 1989 and 1990. Viper is now the World's Tallest looping Coaster. The Boomerang roller coaster was made by two companies and is still popular to this day. Compared to RCT2 though, both rides were taller than 185 ft. compared to what is stated in the game.
*Both arrow and vekoma have built boomerang roller coasters with arrow halting their production in 2001. The early Vekoma Boomerangs used Arrow trains and most of the still operating Boomerangs from both companies are now using Vekoma Trains.
*Arrow is also famous for inventing and coining the term "hyper-coaster." The first Hyper Coaster was introduced in 1989 and stole the world's fastest and tallest title from Scream Machine, which opened only three months prior. Arrow's "Hyper-Coaster" sparked a huge revival in Roller Coasters known among enthusiasts as the "Coaster Wars." This "war" is still ongoing until this day.
