What if Arrow still existed nowadays ? I was saddened by the loss of the Utah manufacturer after X's troublesome debut in 2001/2002. Many Arrow coasters aged very badly, and are bashed for their roughness, bad transitions and plain layouts compared to B&M or Intamin. But not only Arrow made historical achievements in the roller coaster industry, they also - ironically - fixed up most of their shortcomings by the year 2000. Tennessee Tornado @ Dollywood is the prime example of this : henceforth using the heart-line principle, an Alan Schilke-led Arrow created a smooth and intense layout almost matching B&M's excellence. Featuring 4 inversions, an overbanked turn and 2 airtime hils, Gust is my attempt at making another 2nd Generation Arrow Looper that blends the compact and forceful experience of Tennesee Tornado with new concepts and revisited old ones for the US manufacturer.

For the first time, Arrow tries its hand at the Zero-G-Roll. Its shape slightly differ from the original B&M version, and was described as a mix between a heightened Corkscrew and a zero-G.

After making its debut on the ill-fated Drachen Fire, the Cobra Roll returns on this pale red looper. Adding to the new style support introduced with Roller Coaster in 1996, Arrow corrected its calculations to prevent any headbanging this time around.

Helix time !

Arrow reinvented its classic inversion, the Corkscrew, to conclude the layout. Note that the Corkscrew rotates anti-clockwise as opposed to most Arrow flat spins.

Overview. I took feedback into account and added some terraforming to compliment the coaster. I tried not to overdo it and to make smooth hills that you see in many forests.
Enjoy !
