 Review of Cyclone @ Astroland
4 Rating Posted by: ridejunkie on 5/13/2006 11:31:00 AM
What can I say? Every day, when I say my prayers at night, I thank God for my family, my friends, the Cyclone, and the Earth. I first rode this a while back with my cousins. I sat in the very middle seat, and noted the comfortable love-seat trains. The train was released from the hand-operated breaks, and went around to the lift hill. It jolts sometimes as the beast crawls up the lift hill. There is an amazing view of Astroland and Denos Wonderwheel Park, but usually the contents of the train are too scared to notice. The clanking of the lift hill stops, the train lingers at the pinnacle for a moment, and then, all hell is let loose. At a staggering 58 degree drop, your breath will be stolen away and you will be taken to a higher place as you careen down the drop. The train pulls up with violent shaking, but nobody cares that it seems as though you could tumble off of the wooden track at any time. They are too much enjoying the ecstacy feel of the god of roller coasters. The beast then goes through a series of turns, smaller, yet just as enjoyable drops, and airtime. As the train pulls back into the station, everybody is pulling out their wallets and forking over cash to the ride ops to experience, yet again, the perfectly legal high that is the Cyclone. I would not reccomend this coaster for the faint-hearted, those who have back problems, or those who do are afraid of getting high or feeling really really good. Obviously, I would reccomend this to everybody else. This is the beginning and end of all roller coasters!

Amazing review Ridejunkie & welcome to Theme Park Critic man. Your review of the Cyclone alone makes me want to go up to Astroland sometime in my life just to ride this beast alone. Ive seen many videos of Cyclone & heard a lot of great things about the godfather of roller coasters, but I guess Ill have to experience it to find out for myself. I hope youll have a lot of fun on this website & Ill always comment on reviews as great as this one. Hopefully, you wont be a message board poster like (cough..coasterworm..cough) because hes really starting to annoy me.

Wow what a review. What amazed me about this attraction is that there is no hype. This coaster walks the walk. Not bad for 79 years of age.
