Builder in Florida was NOT Arrow Dynamics

The article currently states that BTM was built by Arrow Dynamics in Florida.

Dana Morgan, who was President of the then Arrow-Huss recently stated to me in an email that he is ...confident Arrow Dynamics did *not* build Thunder Mountain. Arrow was still "Arrow Development" in 1980...

The only remote possibility would be that Arrow Dynamics provided a retrofit control system at a later date but I strongly doubt that.

Unless someone has better evidence to the contrary I'll delete the reference to Arrow Dynamics in the article for two reasons;

1) Arrow Dynamics was not organized and registered as a company until 1986. 2) The President of the then Arrow-Huss says Arrow did not build BTM at MK/WDW.

Unfortunately, what you're proposing to edit the article with is original research. While it may well be accurate, it's not deemed reliable enough to form the basis for the edit. --McDoob AU93 12:02, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I've seen several conflicting sources about Arrow vs Vekoma. Also, BTM in Florida feels like an Arrow coaster and sounds like an Arrow coaster. But I can't find any reliable sources. TheEmperorAnt (talk) 15:34, 6 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Opening date for MK version?

The info box says Opening date September 23, 1980 but the timeline says November 15 (which does seem to be the actual date), is there a reason it's different? (Maybe that was a soft opening date? If so that should be in the timeline?) 96.245.204.186 (talk) 22:22, 28 July 2021 (UTC)TF[reply]

A drive-by IP editor changed it back in September 2019. November 15 is the correct date per RCDB. I've changed it back. --GoneIn60 (talk) 03:48, 29 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
