Excellent book on the Disney years at Arrow
"Roller Coasters, Flumes and Flying Saucers" is a fascinating book about the company's founders and the company's work for Walt Disney, sort of an oral history and collection of documents and photos. It sort of comes off as a slightly disorganized and incomplete attempt by the family to preserve in print some history and lore that otherwise would have been lost. Someone who knows how to use Wikipedia better than I should add it in the proper place as a reference work.

Arrow Development Employed 1973 to 1980 approx.
71.135.205.143 22:12, 28 December 2006 (UTC)Arrow development was a great company to work for. I would love to re-contact any employees that were employed there from 1973 to 1980 when i left the company. Arrow was truly a family company. Arrow"s R&D included during my tenure the Steaple Chase roller coaster ride and the free wheel coaster once known as the flying wing which i believe was never fully developed and sold to the public venues. If you are interested in Arrow Development please feel free to drop me a line and I will be more then happy to talk about the good old day's.

- If you don't mind my asking what other projects did Arrow work on and never completed. I would love to know what other models they could've produced. (Coasterman1234 01:33, 28 February 2007 (UTC))
Citations
Regarding the statement "Arrow made a lasting impact on the roller coaster industry", this doesn't need a citation. If you read the article it states (just before that) that Arrow developed the world's first tubular steel track roller coaster. Most coasters built today use tubular steel track. It's obvious that Arrow made an impact in that way. Also, they made an impact in another way, the development of the first modern inverting roller coaster, many coasters today feature multi-inversion layouts. It's obvious Arrow made a lasting impact in that way. You can't cite those kind of things, you have to look at modern roller coasters to see that the Arrow did make an impact on the industry.
Also, the statement "they designed and created around 100 roller coasters during the decades they operated" doesn't need a citation either because the article lists, in the table just below the statement, Arrow's 100+ coasters!
