Arrow Dynamics (fictional)/Looper Trains List

Here's the list of Arrow Dynamics Looper Trains that are used for their Corkscrew, Custom Looper, Launched Loop, Loop & Corkscrew coasters, and early Vekoma MK-1200 coasters.

First generation (1975-1983, 1985)
When Arrow Dynamics (then known as Arrow Development) introduced the Corkscrew coaster model, the first generation Looper trains were introduced. In late 1983, Arrow Huss decided to discontinue their first-generation Looper trains, to make way for their second-generation Looper trains in the following year. Dragon Mountain at Marineland Theme Park was the last Arrow coaster built with their first-gen looper trains, and The Screamer at Boblo Island was the last Vekoma coaster built with Arrow's first-gen looper trains.
