Ninja

Ninja opened in 1988 using Arrow Dynamics' suspended coaster format, in which the train cars hang beneath the track on pivoting arms and swing outward through turns based on momentum rather than a fixed, rigid connection to the rails. That swinging motion — unpredictable enough that no two rides feel quite identical — was Arrow's signature contribution to coaster design in the 1980s, distinct from the fixed-car inverted format that B&M would popularize a few years later.

Built along the park's upper ridge, Ninja's 2,700-foot layout was routed specifically to weave through existing tree cover rather than clear it, giving the ride a genuinely different visual character from the more exposed steel structures found in the park's lower sections. The combination of swinging cars and close tree proximity makes Ninja feel considerably more chaotic than its modest 55 mph top speed would suggest.

Suspended swinging coasters like Ninja became rare after Arrow Dynamics wound down in the early 2000s, and only a small handful still operate in North America today. Ninja's continued operation makes it one of the last accessible examples of a coaster format that essentially stopped being built decades ago.
