Yea so on this site, http://capital2.capital.edu/admin-staff/dalthoff/almanac.txt they have this under April 21:

Press day for {The Bat,} a prototype suspended roller coaster from Arrow/Huss, at Kings Island (Kings Mills, Ohio).

I've never heard that huss had something to do with the ride. Does anyone know what part they had in it? I think it all makes sense as to why the ride sucked now...jk

Arrow was owned by HUSS at one time. They Broke back of to become Arrow Dynamics.

Huss didn't have much to do with the ride Drew. Arrow was just the steel coaster division of Huss, so the company was called Arrow/Huss. Eventually Arrow broke away from Huss and became their own seperate company.

Huh. never knew that. interesting

You would think a huss ride would have been reliable, had TR:TR never been constructed.

In Huss's defense, PKI programs the ride itself(Giant Top Spin) to do very difficult manuvers. On top of that, it has to be in sync with the show effects. So it's really not fair to bash Huss or the Giant Top Spin model. Ask one to run a normal program, and it's safe to say it would run just fine.

I was not aware that Huss and Arrow were together at one time. This is an interesting fact. I can tell you that The Bat was an awesome coaster. It was a real shame that it had so many problems. I always thought that The Bat themed trains were cool. I love the pic they have of the trains at rcdb.com.
