Shortest Arrow Dynamics loop coaster in the World?

[cfcI've gone pantless!]

According to rcdb, Cyclone at Dreamworld is 2,952' plus change, if anyone's curious.

[ECZenithGood to the last drop]

I just rode Canobie's double-corkscrew Arrow on Saturday and it's not very rough at all and still very fun to ride, even getting a new blue/teal paint-job to replace the fading yellow. Here's a couple shots. This version drops, banks right into a double corkscrew , no loop.

How can something so pretty be so painful...

You should ride Revolution at Blackpool now, Silky smooth when I rode a month and a bit ago. It's refurb really has been worth it.

[The YetiI'm a know-it-all about donkeys!]

Python at BGT was just a drop, turn, double corkscrew, however it's no longer thereThe drop gave some good air in the back, and the corkscrews gave plenty of headaches!

I noticed that too when I was there last month. Maybe it's thanks to the new coat of paint, but Revolution was insanely smooth with zero roughness or headbanging. I know it doesn't make any lateral movements so it shouldn't be rough anyway, but some Arrow loopers manage to be rough through straight track and vertical loops.

[CyrbuzzDoes Jeff Johnson count this donkey as a credit?]

Michigan's Adventure's Corkscrew coaster is pretty short, pretty much the same layout as Busch Garden's Python coaster was.

[SLUSHIEIt's hot outside, and I have a headache]

There is also a corkscrew clone at Silverwood, which is the one that was relocated from Knott's, so it's the first one and the first ever inverting roller coaster.

And Silverwood's Corkscrew is 20 seconds of Awesome fun!!! IMO

[Rai FoxHoly crap you have a HUGE donkey!]

Well, not quite. First modern inverting coaster, yes. First safe inverting coaster, also yes. But first? No.

Copying and pasting from Wikipedia because I'm lazy >.>

The first inversion in roller coaster history was part of the Centrifugal Railway of Paris, France, built in 1848.[1] It consisted of a 43-foot (13-meter) sloping track leading into a nearly circular vertical loop 13 feet (3.9 m) in diameter.[4] During the early 1900s, many rides including vertical loops appeared around the world. These early loops had a major design flaw: the circular structure produced intense g-forces (hereafter "Gs"). The Flip-Flap Railway, designed by Lina Beecher and built in 1898 on Coney Island of Brooklyn, United States, had a 25-foot circular loop at the end which though initially popular caused some discomfort in passenger's necks, and the ride soon closed.[5][6] In 1903, the same person built Loop-the-Loops, another looping coaster, in the same park. This time the loops were slightly oval-shaped rather than circular, though not clothoid in shape like modern loops.[7] Although the ride was safe, it had a low capacity, loading four people every five minutes (48 people per hour, compared to 1800 riders per hour on Corkscrew, an early modern coaster that opened in 1976), and was poorly received after the discomfort of the Flip-Flap Railway.[7] As their novelty wore off and their dangerous reputation spread, compounded with the developing Great Depression, the early looping coasters faded and disappeared.[1]

A fresh coat of paint can make a difference. The Ninja (SFSTL) is smoother for the last couple of years after they gave it another paint job than what it was before hand. With time, you learn how to ride Arrows. It takes a bit of practice but you learn how to hold on tight to the restraints and keep yourself positioned correctly that avoids the head banging.
