This is one I really want to see the answer to.
I'm not saying that Arrow make the same coasters as Vekoma, but I want to see which are the best designers for Corkscrew coasters?

The Vekoma corkscrew has a bit more to it than the Arrow so I say Vekoma.

Vekoma as they're still at it and designing better, smoother coasters. Plus the motorbike coaster is so cool.

Yeah I forgot about the Blackpool ones, the only one out of the three that I like is the Revolution but thats not a corkscrew ride.
Also I found out Arrow are still making coasters just under the name of S&S Arrow!

I have ridden only one vekoma in my life, Woodstock's Express, and I've ridden tons of arrow. I definently like Arrow better.

i voted arrow. corkscrew at cedar point, though short, i thought it was great. and very smooth, no headbanging for me. loch ness monster, even though it's not a corkscrew, was AWESOME!! i can't think of a vekoma corkscrew that i've been on besides the ninja at SFoG, but that's relatively new compared to arrow corkscrews and that thing will give you a concussion.

So at the moment Arrow and Vekoma have the same score, although about an hour ago it was 6 for Vekoma and 2 for Arrow.
I have to say that in the end it seems as if both of them are just about as good.
The only way I can see this winning is just by getting rid of the corkscrew part and seeing which companies make the best!

No I go with Vekoma corkscrews!
Also I love Rock 'n' Roller coaster from Vekoma!
