Arrow is credited for the inventing of the Boomerang coaster.
The boomerang coaster is one of the most common roller coaster design in the world. Another company has built a more modern Boomerang (Vekoma is the company). Both 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 [http://coasterpedia.net/wiki/Vekoma Vekoma] Trains.
====Arrow Dynamics====
*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, however has since slowed down.
*Arrow founder Ed Morgan's son Dana Morgan was responsible for building Steel Dragon 2000 at Nagashima Spaland, the longest roller coaster in the world, which is one of only three Giga Coasters in the world. It doesn't look anything like the Intamin-style Giga coasters that are featured in RCT2 abd 3, it bears a better resemblance to the "[[Hyper Coaster]]" featured in RCT1, 2, and 3. The coaster is 8,133 ft long and is the tallest chain lift roller coaster in the world at 318 ft.
