If this should be in the quick questions thread, then sorry!
Anyway, since SW6 was announced, I've been thinking. We've had SW3, 4, and 5, but what happened to SW1 and 2?!
Anyone know?

I think SW1 was the arrow launch coster that didn't take off, (pardon the pun :P) And i don't know about SW2.

They were both Pipeline coasters to go where Nemesis is now.

SW2 was going to be an arrow pipeline coaster. when john wardley went to ride a prototype but he wasn't impressed as he thought it was dull and boring so the idea was scraped. not too sure about SW1 though.

Secret Weapon 1 was an Arrow Pipeline coaster themed around a secret military facility.
More details and a great interview with John Wardley can be found in the link below.
