In 1959, Arrow Development designed what was to be their first of many roller coasters, the [[Matterhorn Bobsleds]] at [[Disneyland]] in [[Anaheim, California|Anaheim]], [[California]]. Built in conjunction with [[Walt Disney Imagineering|WED Imagineering]],<ref name=arrowdyn/> the ride was the first modern [[steel roller coaster|tubular steel tracked roller coaster]].

After construction of the Matterhorn, Disney bought a third of Arrow Development in an effort to keep them viable and at least partially in-house. Arrow had already developed rides for other customers, and had orders for more, so they moved into a larger plant in Mountain View. At the new location, Arrow developed vehicles, flumes and tracks for [[It's a Small World]], [[Pirates of the Caribbean (theme park ride)|Pirates of the Caribbean]], [[Adventure Thru Inner Space]], and the [[The Haunted Mansion|Haunted Mansion]].

Arrow developed the modern [[Log flume (attraction)|log flume ride]], eventually installing over 50 around the world, beginning with [[El Aserradero]] at [[Six Flags Over Texas]] in 1963. In the 1970s, the company perfected and brought back the looping roller coaster.

In 1975, Arrow installed one of the most important rides of its time, [[Corkscrew (Silverwood)|Corkscrew]], which made its debut at [[Knott's Berry Farm]] as the first modern inverting coaster. Arrow made hundreds of coasters throughout the decades, including 17 Corkscrew-style coasters, 16 "runaway mine train" coasters like [[Cedar Creek Mine Ride]] and [[Adventure Express]], custom-designed coasters like [[Loch Ness Monster (roller coaster)|Loch Ness Monster]], and [[Carolina Cyclone]].

Some of Arrow Development's later projects included what were at the time the world's tallest roller coasters, such as [[Magnum XL-200]] at [[Cedar Point]] in 1989, and [[Pepsi Max Big One|The Big One]] at [[Blackpool Pleasure Beach]] in 1994.
