In 1971, Karl Bacon, Ed Morgan and Walter Schulze sold Arrow Development to [[Rio Grande Industries]]. At the time, [[Penn Central]] owned [[Six Flags]] and Rio Grande had plans to build theme parks of their own, purchasing [[Frontier Village]] in 1973.<ref name=OBrien2006/>{{rp|224}} In the late 1970s, Arrow began teaching [[Vekoma]] how to build tubular track in their native Holland, and in return Vekoma became Arrow's European distributor. Rio Grande sold Arrow to the German manufacturing firm [[Huss Maschinenfabrik]] in 1981. The merger formed Arrow Huss. Dana Morgan, the son of Ed Morgan, was appointed the company's president, and [[Ron Toomer]] was made vice president and manager of engineering. Dana would leave the company and form [[Morgan Manufacturing]] in 1983. Although Arrow's coasters continued to sell well, Arrow Huss struggled financially, partially due to heavily investing in the [[Darien Lake]] theme park in New York, and the [[1984 Louisiana World Exposition]] in New Orleans.<ref name=OBrien2006/>{{rp|225}} Arrow Huss filed for bankruptcy in 1985, and 13 of the company's American officers negotiated a buyout. In 1986, the takeover was approved by the courts and the company re-emerged as Arrow Dynamics. Toomer served as president until 1993, Chairman of the Board until 1995, and as a consulting director until his retirement in 1998.<ref name=ToomerObit/>

In the late 1990s, Arrow Dynamic's bookings steadily decreased, with few installations toward the end of the decade. Despite attempts to keep up by implementing more updated design techniques, Arrow still found itself struggling to compete. Other manufacturers such as [[Bolliger & Mabillard]] and [[Intamin]] began to dominate the industry.<ref>{{cite journal | last1 = Seifert | first1 = Jeffrey | year = 2006 | title = Arrow | journal = RollerCoaster!

Design and manufacturing costs for new, larger ride systems were increasing and competition grew. Bankruptcy loomed once again just as Arrow introduced [[X2 (roller coaster)|X]] (subsequently known as X<sup>2</sup>) at [[Six Flags Magic Mountain]], a [[4th dimension roller coaster]] designed by [[Alan Schilke]]. X opened to massive media attention and received an initially positive reception;{{Citation needed|date=January 2008}} however, several mechanical problems caused the ride to be closed for repairs during much of its first year of operation.

The company filed for bankruptcy again on December 3, 2001. At the end of October 2002, the remaining assets were sold to  [[S&S Worldwide]], a [[limited liability company]] related to amusement ride manufacturer, forming [[S&S Arrow]].<ref name="S&S moves to snap up defunct rivals"/><ref name="S&S affiliate catches Arrow"/> In November 2012, Sansei Yusoki Co., Ltd., of Osaka, Japan, acquired a 77.3% interest in S&S.
