I first rode the cyclone in 1976 at the age of 13 and it scared the sh-- out of me, yet I was so fascinated by the coaster, that every trip to the park, i just had to ride it. I am now in my mid 40s and I am still going strong on that coaster. It is definitely one of the greatest rollercoasters of all time and has stood the test of time. Too bad the Tornado roller coaster was burned but i did get to ride it at the age of 8 years old by accident. I wanted my dad to take me on the spook house ride (that is just the way the Tornado looked from the outside). We got on and the train cars went through the doors into a dark tunnel. The next thing I knew was that I was being whipped around from side to side up, down back and forth and everything was total blurr. I never rode that thing again but I wish it was still at coney island beacause it gave the Cyclone a run for its money.
