Arrow reached additional milestones over the years by introducing the first suspended roller coaster in almost a century, The Bat, which opened in 1981, and the world's first hypercoaster, Magnum XL-200, which opened in 1989.

At the time, Penn Central owned Six Flags and Rio Grande had plans to build several theme parks of their own, in addition to owning a coaster-building company.

Arrow made dozens of coasters throughout the decades, including several Corkscrew-style coasters, many "runaway mine train" coasters like Cedar Creek Mine Ride and Adventure Express, custom-designed coasters like Loch Ness Monster, and Carolina Cyclone.

Some of Arrow Development's later projects included what were at the time the world's tallest roller coasters, such as Magnum XL-200 at Cedar Point in 1989 and Pepsi Max Big One at Blackpool Pleasure Beach in 1994.
