Keith McVeen [Badnitrus] recreated the CBCyclone based on photographs of it.
I suspect that you could base it off his layout, as it appears pretty
accurate and his physics look right.
RBCyclone might be trickier, but remember, there were three near-clones. You
only need to find one set of blueprints. If Playland was a direct follower
of Hastings, they may still be extant.
If not, there are enough photos that I think you can get the entire layout.
Be aware, though, that at least one installation changed the second fan
curve drastically, so it may have had violence/maintanence issues of its
own.
