For those of you who are blowing smoke out of your butts. The Coney Island Cyclone is a historic wooden roller coaster, that opened on June 26, 1927. It was declared a New York City landmark on July 12, 1988, and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 26, 1991. So for the person who thought it would be cool to turn it in to a hybrid it will never happen and I am happy about that.
Me and my 9 yr old son just rode the Cyclone last week 7/22/23 and we both absolutely loved it. I grew up going on the cyclone back in the 1970’s with the P.O.P. deal. You could ride the Cyclone all day long which me and my brother did. If you enjoy rides this is like a trip to the roller coaster version of Mecca.
First roller coaster I ever rode, 1988. It was terrifying. Totally thought we were going to derail the whole time and the harness that snaps you down, I was 8 and idk how I didn't fall out of that thing.
The turns are so flat your sides really take a banging. This video doesn't do justice to the violence and how you feel at the end of this ride. It's a must ride for everyone. This is one ride you really can't do with your hands off the bar
I remember gettin on that thing around 09 and we had to grab to that bar for dear life!!! If youre skinny you can be easily get thrown out from it if you dont tightly grab the security bar‼️‼️❌
I screamed my vocal cords out And felt sick Which is something that never happenend to me on rollercoasters so never again Even if I'd visit America again I Am never gonna do this ride again lmao
No, its not unsafe. This ride not only keeps up with, but surpasses all safety regulations. And the fact that you say you 'almost' fell out of the car, that's called AIRTIME. The ride is VERY safe. And so what the coaster is 85 years old? That doesn't even matter when it comes to safety.
+Kyle Flounder non of coney islands coasters got severe damage, it was another theme park in New Jersey called Casino Pier that had its coasters torn down.
+Kyle Flounder - MrQuesada is correct. Casino Pier in Seaside Heights got destroyed during Sandy. Sadly reports are saying there will be no more "thrill rides" taller than 100' rebuilt there.
@@kevinthompson6986 Yep, it’s at Luna Park in Melbourne & is called the Scenic Railway, not as violent as this ride tho. The park & the coaster opened in 1912 & another roller coaster similar to this one, called the The Big Dipper, was built at a later stage. I believe The Big Dipper was based on this design & was intended to keep with the Coney Island theme of exhilarating roller coaster rides. Unfortunately, it was dismantled during the mid to late 80s due to maintenance costs but I got to ride it during the late 70s & early 90s & it was amazing! The original Scenic Railway coaster is still operating & running today :)
I’ve been on the Cyclone twice...in a row. Those turns are really something else. It really feel as if the cars are going to come off the track when you hit some of them.
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? Ooh 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

My father made a bet with me and my brother Michael that if we go on The Cyclone more than once we can keep the 20 dollars. It was 1982 I was fifteen my brother was fourteen. We rode The Cyclone 5 times and I rode roller Coster's all kinds all my life but my favorite is The Coney Island Cyclone.
My favorite Cyclone moment was 1979/80 and seeing one of the employees testing the ride... with a German Shepherd in the car. The dog seemed used to the experience
Yes, it indeed is one of the best woodies made...ever. You think about it, this coaster is ONLY 85ft tall yet it boasts a 55 degree (some say it's 58) first drop that reaches a seamingly impossible 60mph. That's pretty fast for a small coaster.
I did it guys. Today, 6/12/21, i achieved my lifelong goal, my bucket list item, of finally riding the Cyclone. Let me break it down: Yes, this is an OLD ride. It's almost 100 years old. It's not a smooth RMC coaster, it's not a kid's ride. This ride is quite violent, especially because it was built at a time when amusements rides were still in their kindergarten years, and the technology just wasn't there. This ride has: a station, a chainlift, a track, and then brakes at the end. There's no brakes before each turn to slow you down enough to the point you don't get jerked in your seat. Not here; you take those near-hairpin turns at almost full speed. You WILL crash into the person riding next to you! All that said though? Waiting and hoping all this time was totally worth it. One of the happiest moments of my life and lived up to the hype!
Rode it in the AM, and it was surprisingly smooth. Three hours later, it was a totally different beast, nearly took my head off. Those woodies change as the day goes, the wood bends and warps.
Be sure to bring your hello kitty cupcake, stale pack of mentol cools, and your Iron Maiden shirt still ripe with the pong of the carnie that wore it when you ride the cyclone!
eyestoenvy lmao I sat in the backseat for this as my first ever roller coaster and damn now every other roller coaster I go on seems like a joke compared to this haha
This is rollercoaster history right here! As much as I love The Beast for being my first "big" coaster, I have to say that this beauty built 50 years prior will always be the granddad of ALL rollercoasters, wood or steel. It all starts somewhere and this is a great way to put rollercoasters on the map at the time! Still looks amazing to ride today!! Can't wait to get my chance next summer, I'm there for sure!
I lived in Coney Island as a kid in the 50's and the Cyclone was my first coaster ride. Loved it and so glad they have maintained it and it's now on the Nat'l Register of Historic Place. I was saddened when they turned Steeple Chase into a parking lot. Loved the steel horses!
In the Spring of 1966 or 1967 there was a 2-for-1 promotion on most of the rides in Coney Island, the Cyclone included. About a dozen of my friends and I (from Seagate, Warbasse and Luna Park) cut school (Mark Twain JHS) and spent the day on the rides. The Cyclone was 15 cents per ride. I went on 13 times in a row! It was awesome!
They have maintained it well, so it would not unless a huge storm came in, and even that is pretty unlikely. It has survived probably several hurricanes
It opened in 1927. It's a classic in every way. While small by today's standards at only 85ft tall, it still has a pretty steep (for a woodie) 55 degree first drop and hits 60mph (that is fast for such a small drop). It packs quite a bit of ride (it goes around 3 times on itself) in an only 800 foot long space. It is also known as a 'rib tickler' for the shallow turns that throw riders to the outside of the turn (being a classic coaster the seats don't have dividers). This was my first woodie.
It's great that this historic landmark still works and it's a super long coaster. I'm just wondering how bad z "shocks" r on z cars. ie, does it rattle & vibrate so rough that u feel like ur riding on a paint mixer or jack hammer leaving z coaster wif migraines & who knows what else
For example, that old wooden roller coaster at Hersheypark (I think called the wild cat) is so rough that u almost get a concussion and a broken jaw!! Is so rough and uncomfortable, is too painful to enjoy the ride! You almost need to leave in the structure because it's so rough
awsomelife101 I guess u must have a body of steel b/c z wildcat was so ruff for me & my coaster enthusiast friends we all vowed to never ride that again!!! It's even worst than z "Thigh Crusher" (ie, SkyRush)
ItzWolfy Sky I rode it when I was ten and it's not as bad as it seems. The only scary parts is the big drop but it's such a fun ride, I went three times
How is that person allowed to sit next to the roller coaster like that, near the end of the ride? Is he security for the ride? That seems quite dangerous.
+Joseph Hicks The roller coaster's going pretty slowly at that point. Even if someone was sticking their arm sideways out of the car - which they're not supposed to be doing anyways - it couldn't hit that employee with much more force than a high-five.
great video everyone forgets the other roller coaster we had it was the tornado it caught fire in December of 1978 n it was inspected n condemned n tore down
Years ago, my late wife knew how to tease my ego. We had just filled up at a local Italian restaurant and were driving past Coney Island in early April. We were surprised to see the cyclone was open independent of the rest of the park that was still closed. I said to my wife, if I wasn't so stuffed, I would ride it. She said, I'm sure you would. It's good to have an excuse to cover up for being chicken. I slammed on the brakes and backed up the car three blocks and pulled up next to the ride. I was stuffed and the safety bar was pressed against my belly. I enjoyed the ride. She always knew how to motivate me. Of course, she didn't ride it.
For those of you who are blowing smoke out of your butts. The Coney Island Cyclone is a historic wooden roller coaster, that opened on June 26, 1927. It was declared a New York City landmark on July 12, 1988, and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 26, 1991. So for the person who thought it would be cool to turn it in to a hybrid it will never happen and I am happy about that.
Michael Rocker great info
Michael Rocker I have a question, could they refurbish the track???
Actually it is a hybrid. If you would lay steel track on the steel supports it would become a steel coaster wouldn't it?
But it’s not actually a “wooden” roller coaster. If you actually look at the framework, it’s supports are made of steel.
John Jensen is correct...
So glad I grew up in NYC and got to come here, it was a huge part of my summers as a kid
From 1927 and still operates well.
Part of it was rebuilt
The refurbished this many times this isn’t the same ride from almost a century ago
I went on that thing for my second time TODAY, It hurts my knees, and almost broke my buttocks.
Kevin Rodriguez The seats are probably the only thing that helps with the roughness
Did you throw up?
@@captain_america7577 this was 6 years ago

Went on the Cyclone for the very first time a couple weeks ago, and this coaster STILL holds up! One of the world's very best!

I screamed my vocal cords out
And felt sick
Which is something that never happenend to me on rollercoasters so never again
Even if I'd visit America again I Am never gonna do this ride again lmao
This video makes it look less scary
I've heard that the cars on the Cyclone don't have any restraints. Is that true?
the drops are way steeper irl and its wya taller than it looks also on teh turn you squeez the person next to you to death
i went on it it was nothing a little girl in the front had her hands up and a huge smile!!! :D
The scariest shit I've ever experienced.
This is where I go to the beach
What part of keep your hands down and on the lap bar do you people not understand?
It's not worlds fastest but it's worlds best! YEAH! NEW YORKER UNITE!
I went on this today. Nearly broke my nose (from my own breaking of safety rules) but it was amazing fun.
No, its not unsafe. This ride not only keeps up with, but surpasses all safety regulations. And the fact that you say you 'almost' fell out of the car, that's called AIRTIME. The ride is VERY safe. And so what the coaster is 85 years old? That doesn't even matter when it comes to safety.
It is a very rough ride for sure.
I feel them because that ride dose beat you up
1.44 you can see a person sitting next to the coaster people can just stick their hand in the track and get their handnocked off safety hazard lol
I'm not sure what that person is doing there, but I'm positive they are in some way park staff. There's no way for the general public to get there.
Oh hell no I’ve seen the musical I know how this ends

I believe The Big Dipper was based on this design & was intended to keep with the Coney Island theme of exhilarating roller coaster rides.

I hope I don’t lose my head while riding it.
I don't hope the front axel doesn't break
I’ve been on the Cyclone twice...in a row. Those turns are really something else. It really feel as if the cars are going to come off the track when you hit some of them.
i did it 8 times in a row with my friends! it’s honestly rough but i expected worse lol
And I’m asking, “why lord?”
If this is how I die, lord?
Why be left with no family and no friends?
There should be a chiropractor's office at the exit to this one.
+Marchant2 LOL! It's a rough ride for sure.
#retrack
hahaha so true
The seats make it a tiny bit more bearable but still rough.
I YELPED SKSKSKSKD
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?
Ooh
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
In my life i was noel gruber who worked at the taco bell in uranium city, saskatchewan but-
In my dreams, i played a different role
I was monique garbot in post-war france
{singing}
A hooker with a heart of black charred coal
I write poems to burn by fire light
Drink champagne and guzzle gin
Good girls call me the town bicycle
Don't knock it till you’ve tried my life of sin
Oh claude my pimp knows never mess with me
Last prick did that
Faded quick to black
I have no idea where to find him, officers-
But if you do please mention that i'd
Like to have returned the pretty knife
That i stuck 10 times in his back
For i sing songs until the break of dawn
I embrace a new man every night
My life's one never ending carnival
A world of loosy-floozy flashing light
I want to be that f*cked up girl
He said i think i am in love
I’ve heard that lie a million times before
Oh, but tonight i give in to the fantasy
Take love when you can, when you're a whore
For i sing songs until the break of dawn
I embrace a new man every night
My life's one never ending carnival
A world of loosy-floozy flashing light
I want to be that f*cked up girl
So now i sell my love for opium
In some rat infested chinese (?)
At night i burn myself with cigarettes
Just to somehow prove i'm still alive
Eight months later i catch typhoid flu
Kicked out i see the ugly light of day
Dying in an alley, a priest kneels down to
Me-
{in french accent} "my child do you have any final words to the lord you'd like to say?"
"oui"
"tell him i chose to burn out rather than fade away"
For i sing songs until the break of dawn
I embrace a new man every night
My life's one never ending carnival
A world of loosy-floozy flashing light
For i sing songs until the break of dawn
I embrace a new man every night
My life's one never ending carnival
A world of loosy-floozy flashing light
I want to be that f*cked up girl
To be that f*cked up girl
{?}
I'd be that f*cked up girl
You might see before you
An ordinary man
Ha! an earthly illusion
All a part of the cosmic plan
Yes, long ago, they visited
Those others from outer space
Informed me I'm the chosen one
To save the zolarian race!
It's true. Listen...
Ricky, we are a distant galaxy
A galaxy greatly in need
Of your groove, you kink-o-matic powers
Yes we need your freak-tastic seed
They took me then, to their daughters' realm
The land of the kitty cat star
I know you've heard the legends of
The sexy cat women from zolar!
Meow

Make love to me, Ricky
What?
Meow
Meow
Okay
But there's one more small thing. Won't you please help save our galaxy
Ricky?
Sure
What would you do in my place?
A mere mortal man?
With the fate of a galaxy before you
Millions of lives in your hand?
The naughty daughters of the realm
All hungry for my chi
You'd never guess the role I played
In zolarian history!

It gets weird now
Ricky, you've lain with our daughters
You're our hero, our saving grace
But now there is a new challenge
For zolaria to face...
For they're at war with k-9
Count dog-u-lous, that son of a bitch!
That son of a bitch!
The generals are all standing by
Tell us Ricky, should we pull the switch?
Meow
Meow
Oh my goodness, what have I gotten myself into?!
Meow

Why are they asking me? I'm a lover, not a fighter! I thought I told them:
I'm just a swingin'...
Space age...
Bachelor man
So I told them
"I am just a man
A space age man, that's all I am
But I wanna hold your hands
All your hands
As we make love tonight
Oh, I have no desire to rule the galaxy
Oh, to hold you close
Is enough for me
Making love in zero gravity-y-y-y! woah!"
Hey!
Makin' love

On just love zolar!
Zolar! woo!

You're such a pretty, gritty kitty
I wanna be, your scra-hatchin' post

And they listened. and they heard my message, for I was singing notes that only cats or cat people could hear. a g#, 5 octaves above middle c
Incredible. Peace was restored. I guess that's what happens...
When you're a swingin'...
Space age...
Bachelor man
So I came back to earth
To show you the way
To lead you pretty people
To a brighter day
We can save the whole galaxy
With love from the heart!
And sexy cat ladies that, that, that's where we'll start!
Yes, I came back to this rock!

I used to think that life
Was just a jawbreaker
Yeah you suck, and you suck, and you suck
And you suck and you suck some more
Yeah, you suck so more
At first, it seemed so sweet
As the colors come and go
Like the seasons come and go
The slush and rain and snow
'Til you can't taste no more
So you suck some more
I used to think that life
Was just a heartbreaker
That just breaks, and it breaks
And it breaks
And it breaks 'til you can't break no more
'Til you can't take no more
Aah aah
I see the world with all
It's backwards upside down
There's nothing wrong with being the
Nicest girl in town oh, everything's clear
Now that I'm here on my sugar cloud
Oh my soul, it sings a song so sweet and pure
I've felt it all along but now I'm sure
Oh, everything's love
Looking down from above on my sugar cloud
Let me take you away
To a sky of cotton candy
We'll fly in like a kite on a string
Up-up-up and above
All that sugarcoated dandy
I wouldn't change my life for a thing
It makes me wanna say
I see the gold, I see the pink
I see the blue
The sun goes up, the sun goes down
Oh, what to do?
Oh, everything's clear, now that I'm here
On my sugar cloud
I used to think that life
Was just a jawbreaker
Jawbreaker!
You suck, and you suck, and you suck
And you suck some more
I used to think that life
Was just a heartbreaker
It breaks and it takes until
You can't take no more
And now I'm floatin' high on a cloud
And I could puke a rainbow
Ah ah ah ah da daa da daa da
And all of the bright
All come together in a beautiful light yes
She sees the world
With all of it's dark and it's light yes
I see the world with all
It's backwards upside down
There's nothing wrong with the
Nicest girl in town
Everything is clear here on my sugar cloud
And now now everything's love
Looking down from above on my sugar cloud
Oh, everything's clear now that I'm here
On my sugar cloud
Look at me now on my
Sugar cloud
Yeah!

It’s so fun, when it comes to the drops you literally feel like you’re gonna fall out of the seats
So true
Then you levítate in the seats as you drop
falling through the air i wonder how can this be faiiiiiiirrrrrrr
@@ryndobit9576 AAHHHHHHHHH
*Insert random screaming*
What a load of freakin junk that crusty carnie, clearly drunk. Sue that fair for everything they’ve got!
yeah! all six of us felt the same when the front axel broke 😆
remain seated. really? who would think "I know I will jump out of the rollercoaster after it gets to the top of this hill"
Hahah
Haha in all seriousness though I don't thing they had any belts or restraints back when the coaster was new so that might be why
+silly face I WENT ON THIS YESTERDAY AND I WAS STANDING
well back then they had different trains and it was back then alot different the it was today
silly face stupid people
All fun and games till St.Cassian choir goes on this roller coaster
Oh my god..
POV: The Saint Casein Chamber Choir
Your lucky number is 7. Be sure to ride The Cyclone.
Every story's got a lesson
you rode the cyclone.
😭
Insert uncreative Ride the Cyclone reference here
LOL
My father made a bet with me and my brother Michael that if we go on The Cyclone more than once we can keep the 20 dollars. It was 1982 I was fifteen my brother was fourteen. We rode The Cyclone 5 times and I rode roller Coster's all kinds all my life but my favorite is The Coney Island Cyclone.
$20 ??? for what?
You make it sound like it was $10 a ride?
Did you ever ride the thunderbolt, that closed in 82
Thunderbolt reopened
My favorite Cyclone moment was 1979/80 and seeing one of the employees testing the ride... with a German Shepherd in the car. The dog seemed used to the experience
Yes, it indeed is one of the best woodies made...ever. You think about it, this coaster is ONLY 85ft tall yet it boasts a 55 degree (some say it's 58) first drop that reaches a seamingly impossible 60mph. That's pretty fast for a small coaster.
i know im replying to an 8 year old comment (bruh) but it's actually 75 feet with a 50 mph speed
it’s listed at 60 mph but that just seems like it can’t be true
I did it guys. Today, 6/12/21, i achieved my lifelong goal, my bucket list item, of finally riding the Cyclone. Let me break it down:
Yes, this is an OLD ride. It's almost 100 years old. It's not a smooth RMC coaster, it's not a kid's ride. This ride is quite violent, especially because it was built at a time when amusements rides were still in their kindergarten years, and the technology just wasn't there. This ride has: a station, a chainlift, a track, and then brakes at the end. There's no brakes before each turn to slow you down enough to the point you don't get jerked in your seat. Not here; you take those near-hairpin turns at almost full speed. You WILL crash into the person riding next to you!
All that said though? Waiting and hoping all this time was totally worth it. One of the happiest moments of my life and lived up to the hype!
IT’S JUST A RIIIIIDEEEEEEEEE
ride the cyclone reference
MISCHA!!! HI!!!
I love this roller coaster, but it's just so rough
+cheryl wike AGREED
well, at least be thankful those trains are like couches
I didn't really find it rough compared to some other coasters I've ridden.
Literally so fucking painful
@@teddysliftworld Lol yeah it's not that bad, the worst one was gwazi in busch gardens florida. Maybe that's why it closed.
I hope no chamber choir members go on this ride on september 14th at exactly 6:17pm
Challenge accepted
I can confirm that it was not a good idea
Makes me homesick. I was practically born on the Cyclone.
Michael Rocker your birth must've been epic.
Imagine the umbilical cord! LMAO!
i was conceived on the Cyclone
@Robert hold on-

POV:your choir class feels their world spinning round and round and round and round and round round and round and round round-
Y'know, I had a strange feeling from the start
ITS JUST A RIDEEEEEE!
Anyone noticed the dude sitting right next to the tracks at 1:45?
I think he was sitting on a bench. I have no clue
+Jesse Monge I did
+Jesse Monge she was on a yoga mat

I did!
Rode it in the AM, and it was surprisingly smooth. Three hours later, it was a totally different beast, nearly took my head off. Those woodies change as the day goes, the wood bends and warps.

It's not a game. It's just a riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide. (WHOOOOOOOOO!)
NO. DO NOT RIDE THE CYCLONE I FUCKING DIED.
I’m proud to say as a New Yorker native, this was my FIRST roller coaster.
Same
Same
not me, every time I see it I’m just terrified lollll
one of my bucket list items bc of the musical Ride The Cyclone
Real, I want to do it on September 14th at 6:17am
Be sure to bring your hello kitty cupcake, stale pack of mentol cools, and your Iron Maiden shirt still ripe with the pong of the carnie that wore it when you ride the cyclone!
Classic Americana, doesn't get any better. That back seat is like being in a car accident!
+eyestoenvy BACK AND FRONT ARE EPIC
eyestoenvy lmao I sat in the backseat for this as my first ever roller coaster and damn now every other roller coaster I go on seems like a joke compared to this haha
Ssshhh. Don't tell the hipsters that the back seat in the last car is the best.
@@killajakez yeah this was my second coaster and my dad taught me the back is always the best
I was in the back then in the front dkdjhd I went two times cause my sister wanted to
Imagine making a musical about the incidents that happened on this, they totally didn’t
I think it was originally going to be about a flood.
They just don't make 'em like this any more. Classic. ;-)
You got that right
Dragon coster is great too in rye playland that coster is form the 1920's
TheBronx98 is the dragon coaster still around i heard they tore it down
nope its still around it is now a landmark so they will not be able too tore it down ;)

This is rollercoaster history right here! As much as I love The Beast for being my first "big" coaster, I have to say that this beauty built 50 years prior will always be the granddad of ALL rollercoasters, wood or steel. It all starts somewhere and this is a great way to put rollercoasters on the map at the time! Still looks amazing to ride today!! Can't wait to get my chance next summer, I'm there for sure!
My friend has a working model of the Cyclone. It's awesome!
the drops are so damn thrilling, i love the Cyclone.
I lived in Coney Island as a kid in the 50's and the Cyclone was my first coaster ride. Loved it and so glad they have maintained it and it's now on the Nat'l Register of Historic Place. I was saddened when they turned Steeple Chase into a parking lot. Loved the steel horses!
they added it back into luna park scream zone its a launch roller coaster,and yes they still have the horses
i went on this ride i got slammed everywhere in the car i was on my own i had just got of a 7 hour flight it woke me up.
Paul Mcdonough same my hips killed me after but it was fun asf
In the Spring of 1966 or 1967 there was a 2-for-1 promotion on most of the rides in Coney Island, the Cyclone included. About a dozen of my friends and I (from Seagate, Warbasse and Luna Park) cut school (Mark Twain JHS) and spent the day on the rides. The Cyclone was 15 cents per ride. I went on 13 times in a row! It was awesome!
Richard Salzman Lucky 13!
15 cents compared to now’s standards or 15 cents back then?
@@thegabrielchannel818 still a lot cheaper than now days
Fun facts
That's equal to about $1.50 in 2023. It costs $10 a ride now!
The reference in Captain America: the First Avenger makes me want to ride the coaster.
Lol that’s why I’m here
The new Luna Park lacks the grandeur of the original.
1927 this shit was made before slice bread DAMM! Old ass roller coaster
I just went on this ride for the first time and I was scared it was going to collapse because it’s like 90 years old
They have maintained it well, so it would not unless a huge storm came in, and even that is pretty unlikely. It has survived probably several hurricanes
The ride is so rough, When the car went down I hit my nose on the handle bar and my nose started bleeding.
Colin Ouch🤕
Colin The Meme same and I almost broke my arm bc It hit on something
Colin The Meme same. But my Only a bit of blood.
Wow!
Casual Keldeo welcome to the real feel of a classic woodie. A nosebleed is pretty bad though 😕
Such shaky
Much pain
Wow.
5:19 don't even THINK of parking here
It opened in 1927. It's a classic in every way. While small by today's standards at only 85ft tall, it still has a pretty steep (for a woodie) 55 degree first drop and hits 60mph (that is fast for such a small drop). It packs quite a bit of ride (it goes around 3 times on itself) in an only 800 foot long space. It is also known as a 'rib tickler' for the shallow turns that throw riders to the outside of the turn (being a classic coaster the seats don't have dividers). This was my first woodie.
It's great that this historic landmark still works and it's a super long coaster.
I'm just wondering how bad z "shocks" r on z cars.
ie, does it rattle & vibrate so rough that u feel like ur riding on a paint mixer or jack hammer leaving z coaster wif migraines & who knows what else
For example, that old wooden roller coaster at Hersheypark (I think called the wild cat) is so rough that u almost get a concussion and a broken jaw!!
Is so rough and uncomfortable, is too painful to enjoy the ride! You almost need to leave in the structure because it's so rough
No way, wildcat for me was awesome
awsomelife101
I guess u must have a body of steel b/c z wildcat was so ruff for me & my coaster enthusiast friends we all vowed to never ride that again!!!
It's even worst than z "Thigh Crusher" (ie, SkyRush)
Imeh Smith what the fuck are u saying
I've been on the cyclone before but not the Thunderbolt ride, that thing is scary (Plus~I'm only ten ;-;)
ItzWolfy Sky I rode it when I was ten and it's not as bad as it seems. The only scary parts is the big drop but it's such a fun ride, I went three times
The cyclone is worse than the thunderbolt
How is that person allowed to sit next to the roller coaster like that, near the end of the ride? Is he security for the ride? That seems quite dangerous.
+Joseph Hicks The roller coaster's going pretty slowly at that point. Even if someone was sticking their arm sideways out of the car - which they're not supposed to be doing anyways - it couldn't hit that employee with much more force than a high-five.
We went here at night less than an hour from close down and there was no lines. Best ever!!!!!
got whiplash on this :(
+carmonkey dude, its a wooden roller coaster built in 1927.
+Alex Harrison Noble That doesn't mean anything
Alex Harrison Noble ok?
ECcoasters shut up i was expressing my opinion
and I was expressing mine
4:27 “The Gnarler 1 looks to intense for me.”
Oof it looks so rough, you can literally see the people slam into the side of the coaster. Ouch lol
great video everyone forgets the other roller coaster we had it was the tornado it caught fire in December of 1978 n it was inspected n condemned n tore down
And the Thunderbolt which closed in 82
OMG IS RIDE THE CYCLONE
Last time I went on it it derailed and I fell off the track with my 5 other choir friends and one of them got beheaded
Bro, I was there. It was wack
Years ago, my late wife knew how to tease my ego. We had just filled up at a local Italian restaurant and were driving past Coney Island in early April. We were surprised to see the cyclone was open independent of the rest of the park that was still closed. I said to my wife, if I wasn't so stuffed, I would ride it. She said, I'm sure you would. It's good to have an excuse to cover up for being chicken. I slammed on the brakes and backed up the car three blocks and pulled up next to the ride. I was stuffed and the safety bar was pressed against my belly. I enjoyed the ride. She always knew how to motivate me. Of course, she didn't ride it.
