If Schwarzkopf build this coaster (as it was intended to be), I'm almost sure that The Big Bad Wolf would still be around today... The same thing for Drachen Fire and B&M
This ride rocked, they're retarded for tearing it and Drachen Fire down. It's not like this park has a shit load of coasters. As long as they still have Alpengeist, which is definitely the best B&M inverted coaster there is, the park won't suck.
they tore it down because it was getting too old and people werent as interested in it anymore....i loved it and i wish they didnt tear it down....but what can you do?
Sad to see these suspended coasters from Arrow Dynamics slowly going away. Only ten of these types were ever built. Three have already been scrapped, two are SNBO (Standing but not opperating) which includes this one which leaves only five world wide that are still opperational. The BBW was one of my favorite of the Arrow suspended coasters, right next to the Ninja at Six Flags Magic Mountain.
.this was my first roller coaster ride ever and due to a fear i have (that i am getting over) its the only coaster i'll ride. but my dad and bro hate it because it jerks you so much he says it'll break his neck some day
The old guy's name is Ron Toomer. He was the head hauncho for Arrow Dynamics for years. The coaster you're thinking of, Termenator is Drachen Fire. It has since been removed due to high maintenance costs.
that is the best ride ever i went there for a week and my mom was bugging and i was scared so i finnaly said i will ride it if she left me alone i rode it 6 other times that week like i said befor BEST RIDE EVER!

Poor Big Bad Wolf...Quite possibly one of the most intense suspended coasters of all time...
At least I was able to get on it for its 25th Anniversary....And it's last year...

They actually tore it down because they couldn't easily get parts for maintenance, since Arrow is no longer a company.

No they didn't, it was too much financially. It would cost more to keep it running than to simply replace it.

Daang! This video was before Alpengeist was there!
I remember both Aplengeist and Apollo's Chariot right when they were built, and Griffon too for that matter
And I remember Fabio getting hit by a goose on one of Apollo's first days, i broke my arm the same day
