Editing Arrow Development (section)

===Contributions to Disneyland and Walt Disney World===
Ed Morgan read a newspaper article about Disneyland and wrote to Disney about a small stern wheel [[pedalo|paddle boat]] named “Lil’ Belle”, which Arrow had built in 1952.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://oaklandwiki.org/Peralta_Playland |title=Peralta Playland |publisher=Oakland Wiki |access-date=January 9, 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=wt0DAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA135 |title=Here comes the ''Lil' Belle'' |author1=Elam, Leland |author2=Rosenhouse, Leo |page=135 |magazine=Popular Mechanics |date=December 1955 |access-date=8 November 2019}}</ref> Disney wasn’t interested in the boat, but became interested in the vehicles that Arrow was creating for other amusement parks. [[Imagineering|Imagineer]] Bruce Bushman gave Ed Morgan a sketch of the "Mr. Toad" vehicle, and a prototype body was quickly fabricated.<ref name="Roller Coasters, Flumes and Flying Saucers" />{{rp|330–342}} Morgan would later recall that Arrow landed their contract with Disney through the recommendation of [[Stanford Research Institute]] which did the site and population density research for Disneyland. Walt and Roy Disney had consulted with [[Harrison Price]] of SRI’s Los Angeles office on a proposal to build Disneyland in Burbank, California.

Between 1953 and 1971 Arrow would be instrumental in designing and developing over a dozen ride systems and vehicles for Disney and were awarded multiple patents for their designs.<ref>{{US Patent|3006286}}, USD189828, {{US Patent|3113528}}, {{US Patent|3114332}}, {{US Patent|3167024}}, {{US Patent|3251595}}, {{US Patent|2404635}}, USD204282</ref> Six of the opening day rides at Disneyland were built by Arrow; [[Mad Tea Party]], [[King Arthur Carrousel]], [[Mr. Toad's Wild Ride]], [[Dumbo the Flying Elephant]], [[Casey Jr. Circus Train]], and [[Snow White's Scary Adventures]].<ref name="Pioneers share Living Legend Award">{{cite journal|last=O'Brien|first=Tim|title=Pioneers share Living Legend Award|journal=Amusement Business|date=November 30, 1998|volume=110|issue=48|page=20}}</ref><ref name=Gurr>{{cite web|last=Gurr|first=Bob|title=DESIGN: Those Were The Times – No.23 1955 Arrow Development – Ed Morgan and Karl Bacon|url=http://micechat.com/49581-bob-gurr-arrow-development/|publisher=MiceChat|access-date=November 28, 2013|date=November 27, 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.inventingdisneyland.com/2018/05/bruce-bushman-disney-legend.html |title=Bruce Bushman, Disney Legend |author=Dallas, Alastair |date=July 10, 2018 |website=Inventing Disneyland [blog] |access-date=8 November 2019}}</ref>

Arrow went on to design and build vehicles and track systems for the [[Midget Autopia]] and [[Motor Boat Cruise|Motorboat Cruise]] (1957), [[Alice in Wonderland (Disneyland attraction)|Alice in Wonderland]] (1958), the [[Matterhorn Bobsleds]] (1959), [[Flying Saucers (attraction)|Flying Saucers]] (1961) and the Mark VI redesign of Autopia cars (1963). The tram cars which carried guests from the parking lot to the park's entrance at Disneyland and Disney World were another Arrow Product. They also designed and built the ride systems for [[It's a Small World]] (1964/66), [[Pirates of the Caribbean (attraction)|Pirates of the Caribbean]], [[Adventure Through Inner Space]] (1967), and the [[The Haunted Mansion|Haunted Mansion]] (1969). Arrow has also been credited for improving the guidance system for the [[Submarine Voyage]] (1959) and prototyping a four-track version of Space Mountain for Walt Disney World in Orlando.<ref>Mouse Planet; WDW's Space Mountain by George McGinnis, July 6, 2005</ref>

[[D. H. Morgan Manufacturing|Dana Morgan]], the son of co-founder Ed Morgan, recalled that Arrow was involved in fourteen of the Walt Disney World attractions, including Dumbo the Flying Elephant and Peter Pan, Pirates of the Caribbean, the parking lot trams, Sky Buckets and the Prince Charming Carousel.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://wdwnt.com/wdwnt-the-magazine-arrow-dynamics-disneys-coaster-partner/ |title=The Magazine – Arrow Dynamics: Disney's Coaster Partner &#124; WDW News Today |publisher=WDW News Today |access-date=January 9, 2014 |first=Michael |last=Truskowski|date=June 14, 2013 }}</ref> The last ride system Arrow may have worked on for Walt Disney World would have been Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, which opened November 15, 1980, two months before the merger with [[HUSS Maschinenfabrik]] which formed Arrow-Huss.
