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 Vekoma MK-1200 and Boomerang coasters.

If have any Arrow looper trains that were missing from this list, Let me know.

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. These trains were also used for Vekoma MK-1200 coasters. 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.

Trivia

 * The front car of the trains has a "Drachen Fire" style flame design on it that was added when the coaster was moved to El Kadsreian Adventure Acres.
 * The front car of the trains has the "The Cyclone Loop Coaster" logo on it which was added when the coaster was moved from Westerndome (then known as Tuscondome).
 * Rocket Loop's Arrow second-generation looping trains were bought as new old stock in '97. The original first gen trains of Oregon's Loop-Screw got dented because some of the trains fell off the truck and remain lost in the woods during relocating from Oregon Adventures to Texas Spaceworld.
 * The Deja Vu train was originally used as the third train of Dragon Fyre, but the park never operated three trains on the Dragon Fyre.
 * When Fireball was moved to Saltair-World in 2005, they used Shockwave's original orange restraints (that haven't been used since have been replaced by Thick restraints version 3) for the Fireball train.
