	When the Riverside Cyclone opened it had two 3-bench PTC trains with single position lap-bar restraints. In 1984 the trains were damaged and the park built one good train out of the two damaged ones. In 1985 two new trains were purchased from Morgan. For the 2000 season, two new PTC trains replaced the Morgan trains.
