A coaster legend. RIP Ron. Off to that great double loop in the sky. Have many fun rides there my Friend. I'll be wearing my Arrow Hat this Saturday at Fright Fest in honor of him.
Candy: What you lookin' at?
Otis B. Driftwood: I'm lookin' at you, mama.
Candy: Yeah, you see something you like?
Otis B. Driftwood: Maybe. I set my standards pretty low, so I'm never disappointed.

Funny thing about Ron is that he designed these coasters but never ridden them.

A true industry legend has left us. It was my pleasure to meet him at CoasterMania in 2009 and thank him for the rough but amazing coasters Arrow gave us. He will truly be missed.
