  • Cyclone didn't escape the wrath of Hurricane Sandy, but the world's most famous classic wooden coaster has been re-tracked where needed and is open to the public once again without missing a beat. Can you spot where the track repair work has been done?
    Cyclone is located across the street from Luna Park at Coney Island in the New York City borough of Brooklyn, New York.

    As a New Yorker I have a hell of allot of respect for the Cyclone. It’s nearly 100 years old and still operating strong. Strong is understatement actually, as riding it feels as if you’ve been in multiple car accidents at once, that intense. Especially the rear seat where the train literally leaps off the tracks on hills despite the heavy old trains and couch seats (thanks god for those). Ride the front row first and then the last, as both are completely different experiences 💪🏼

    My parents grew up in Brooklyn and my dad took my mom here on one of their dates, and he took her on the Cyclone. She came off that ride cursing him out because of how terrifying it was. Fast forward about 25-30 years, and we went to Coney Island one day as a family (we’re only about 1.5 north of there and my grandparents still live in Brooklyn so we’re in the area pretty often). After I finally got over my fear of roller coasters, my dad took me on the Cyclone. I got off that ride, cursing up a storm because of how much I hated it. My dad couldn’t stop laughing at how much I sounded like my mother.

    Some might say we're released
    Pushing daisies, deceased
    But we all know the worms must be fed
    There's just one lingering fear
    Oh my soul, is it here?
    Or is it rotting somewhere with my head?
    Oh my soul
    Oh my soul
    Oh my soul
    Oh my soul
    Ooh...
    Ooh...
    Ahh...
    Ahh... ah
    Oh no soul, and no name
    And no story, what a shame
    Cruel existence was only a sham?
    Oh Saint Peter, let me in!
    You must know where I've been
    Won't you tell me at last who I am?
    Who I am
    Who I am
    Who I am
    Who I am
    Ooh...
    Ooh...
    Ahh...
    Ahh... ah
    And from the ground, beneath my feet
    I hear the anguish of the street
    A choir never complete
    And like an old forgotten tune
    A song that no one knows...
    Forgot how it goes
    Just John and me
    Forever eternally, Jane Doe
    And I'm asking "why, lord?"
    If this is how I die, lord
    Why be left with no family
    And no friends?
    I’ve got no celebration
    Just this consolation
    Time eats all his children
    In the end
    A melody floats through the air
    When silence falls, does no one care?
    Does anyone care?
    Another sad, forgotten tune
    Another song that no one knows
    So that's how it goes!
    Just John and me
    Forever eternally, Jane Doe
    And she's asking "why, lord?"
    Why, oh why, oh why, oh why...?
    "This is no way to die, lord!"
    No one to sing, no one to sigh
    Now that all is said and done
    Isn’t there anyone to tell me who I am?
    No singing songs of celebration
    (Ah ah ah ah)
    Just this sorry speculation
    (Aah ahh)
    Like John I’ll be eternally
    A forgotten name, some lost refrain
    Just "Jane"
    Jane...
    Doe!
    A melody floats through the air
    When silence falls, does no one care?
    Jane
    Doe

    That was part of the thrill and terrifying experience knowing this ride is ancient. You feel like it will break apart at any moment.

    Last time I was on it was 60 years ago. The Cyclone is basic rollercoaster, but it’s the best! I’m still in Brooklyn but can now “ride” this only on video.

    Although it may not seem like the kind of coaster to do it, the airtime on the Cyclone is actually insane. On literally every hill you get that heart stopping feeling that you’re about to float out of your seat, this thing is literally a torture device for me or anyone who doesn’t like experiencing G-force. Combined with the fact that the last time I rode there was nothing to hold onto when you drop, makes this thing a monster. Even when I went to Six Flags Great Adventure for a college trip and rode Nitro and El Toro I had something to grab onto to counter the airtime, but it seems like Cyclone was specially designed to make you feel every bit of it as you can without you able to counter it.

    Rode this thing a few times as a kid back in the 70's. The thing that makes this ride so great is it's like visiting a haunted house. It creeks and groans, clicks and clacks.. and then plummets you straight into the cellar! Then... once you think all is safe...you get a load of the wooden rails supposedly there to prevent you from plummeting to your untimely demise.
    I'm pretty sure the last time I rode that thing was just before they were considering closing what remained of the "Old Coney Island". Which by then was essentially just a bunch of independent operators. There were still tons of cheesy carnival booths, ring tosses, huge stuffed animals to win, cart vendors everywhere, the original Nathan's and (unfortunately) garbage strewn all over. It was still pretty seedy and packed back then even though the beach was closed due to the horrid state they were in at the time.
    I'm amazed that rollercoaster has lasted all these years, even more so because by the time I had ridden it as a kid for the last time... it was already over 40 years old.

    Apparently this is one of the steepest wooden rollercoasters in the world, which is pretty impressive for a coaster built in 1927, long before Vekoma, RMC, Gravity Group and GCI revolutionised wooden coasters.

    Summer 1961, I was 15 from Rowayton Conn. w/ my buddy. We met two girls probably 14 years old from Fairlawn NJ. Asked em if they wanted to go on a ride. As we Slid into the Cyclone seat, she snuggled deep into my side w/ her arms around me. Heaven coulden’t have been better or more of a surprise.

    I really wish people could experience the Coney CYCLONE I rode in the early 70's! It was intense but not bumpy. FAST, graceful, the lap bar didn't push you into the seat when they locked you in, You had room for the INTENSE air on hills 3, 5 and most of the rest of the ride. It was like a ballet. PERFECT! BUT I am happy she is still standing and running. People would understand what all the fuss was about if they would somehow be able to experience that ride.

      I live in California and have ridden the Giant Dipper countless times, too. On a trip to NY in 2005, went out to Coney Island and rode the Cyclone, which is very similar looking to the Giant Dipper from the ground. However, they feel completely different from each other! The Giant Dipper is so much more fun and less painful. The Cyclone is much, much rougher and truly painful. After our ride, the operators were offering us a two-for-one price to ride it again, and we passed because it was just so miserable. With the Giant Dipper, you get off and run back to the line to go again. Happy to have the Giant Dipper on the west coast!

      @@aggiesjc I'll take your word for The Cyclone being more painful than the giant Dipper, but the giant Dipper is no Picnic. Make no mistake, the giant Dipper is going to knock you around pretty good. When that rides over, you know you've been through an ordeal.
