Cedar Creek Mine Ride

In the late 1950s, Arrow built a number of amusement park rides for Disneyland.  In 1959, Arrow built their first coaster, the world's first coaster with tubular steel rails, the Matterhorn Bobsleds at Disneyland.  Seven years later, they built their second coaster.  In the late 1960s, they created a handful of Mine Train coasters that used wood supports and tubular steel track.  Here is a list of the coasters they made in the 1960s:

• Runaway Mine Train (1966-present) at Six Flags Over Texas
• Dahlonega Mine Train (1967-present) at Six Flags Over Georgia
• Marche du Mille-pattes (1967-present) at La Ronde
• Mini-Mine Train (1967-1988) at Six Flags Over Georgia
• Mini Mine Train (1969-present) at Six Flags Over Texas
• Serpent (1969-2005) at Six Flags AstroWorld
• Cedar Creek Mine Ride (1969-present) at Cedar Point (pictured here)
