Ohio has a monstrous 8 Arrow coasters operating, the entire of Europe only has 5.

That's really weird I've never even noticed that Diablo is the only operating Arrow on the whole of Mainland Europe, with then the three at Blackpool and Vampire.

I know there's not millions left but I'd have thought there'd have been a few more hanging around.

Cedar Point has four on its for god sake!

CP by itself actually has the same as Europe. Magnum, Gemini, Corkscrew, Iron Dragon and the Mine Ride.

Like OP said, I would definitely say Florida is the B&M capital of the world. When I think of Florida parks, I think of Disney and B&Ms.

The Arrow corner at Blackpool Pleasure Beach where you are just a few feet away from Steeplechase, Revolution and The Big One at any one time.

Lotte World with Intamin. Well, in the past at least; they haven't added anything for a while.

The aquatrax is now notorious, but they also built the first twist 'n' turn coaster, as well as the first gyro drop, gyro swing and ballistic tower. So that's 5 prototypes. They also have an Intamin log flume, rapids, monorail and a few other bits and pieces.

And also Cinecitta World with Intamin.

I would also say Erlebnispark Tripsdrill with Gerstlauer...
Walibi Holland and Energylandia with Vekoma...
 
This is an obvious one, but Coney Island / Luna Park (New York). I mean, the park is owned by Zamperla, and all but the woodie were made by them.
 
^ Before it closed down, ME World in Korea was all Zamperla except one ride. The one ride that wasn't Zamperla, a tagada, wasn't included on the all-inclusive ticket. I'd always taken the whole thing to mean that Zamperla were running it, much like they are with Coney Island now. It all went tits up though.
