By the 1920s, Harry G. Traver was one of the most accomplished manufacturers in the theme park industry. However, it was his Cyclone coaster model that made a lasting impact on amusement parks.
This trio of coasters has become infamous for providing an overly intense ride experience, resulting in strained necks and other injuries. Yet, coaster enthusiasts to this day still wish they could have experienced the legendary Crystal Beach Cyclone.

I just saw a video that only gave a few sentences to this coaster. It sucked. You did a much better job, but this coaster had a lot of stories. It has a greater history, but overall this was a great synopsis of the coaster. Thank you for giving this coaster the respect it deserves and not limiting it to something like, "The roughest coaster of all time. It was built [blah blah]. It was torn down 20 years later." Some people came to the park not to ride this ride, but to watch people go on it. It was like going to a boxing match and hoping to see blood. This was a rough ride. It may not been as much fun as trying to prove to the world that you had the balls to ride it.

My parents were born in 1927 the year they opened. Dads gone but mom's 94. Hard to believe that such rides existed so long ago but I have read several stories about them including one from an old amusement park book in the 1980s where all 3 of these coasters were mentioned, including the nurse being stationed at the ride. It included a photo of this ride. That banked drop was sick.

@StorybookAmusement 2 года назад

It's absurd to think how much the world has changed since this ride opened, yet how this is still thought of as one of the most intense coasters ever. Even with all the innovation, seems that only few have topped this one.

My dad used to tell us about growing up in the 40's in Allentown. There was an amusement park on the edge of town called Central Park. He said it was a wild coaster that a lot of his friends were scared of. They lived about 20 blocks away and every night in the summer you could hear the people screaming on the ride until it sadly burned down. My dad is in his 80s now, he loves coasters so much he's been on just about every coaster east of the Mississippi River. One of the stories he used to tell us was about a hot summer day he and uncle Bob were on a coaster and uncle Bob was screaming so much he lost his dentures. They went on a second time and uncle Bob's shirt was unbuttoned and flew off. Probably one of the times he tried to stand up, he was a little more of a risk taker than most people.

@Fahrenheit4051 2 года назад

Excellent documentary! I never knew about the noise issues with the ballroom. The problem with the Cyclone coasters is that they were pulling these extreme stunts without enough support bracing, and with imprecise track profiling. Both of these factors meant they got rough fairly quickly. Modern retracking and reprofiling techniques didn't exist yet, either. Compare the Arrow Dynamics "coat hanger" designs. One small detail - it was actually the Palisades Cyclone that was built on the more compact plot. 4G's isn't bad for brief intervals.

The cyclone was before my time, but I heard many stories of terrifying rides on it from my late father. (His uncle missed a week of work after taking a spin on it- was off with a neck injury). I think the reason for the coaster’s demise was that it was ahead of its time; it would have fit in well with the wild rides that are popular today. This was very informative for those of us who are too young to remember it. (Its successor- the Comet- was great fun!).

I don't know if the height and speed were an issue as much as the elements themselves. Sure, at a slower speed, it'd be more tolerable, but still extreme nonetheless. But you also have to remember that the ride operated in the early to mid 20th century. Parks didn't have the finances to make major modifications like that. The industry was a lot different then. That would be my guess. That's an interesting thought though that never occurred to me. Thanks for commenting.

The crazy turn angles are seen by GGI/CCI with Voyage and Ravine Flyer II for example. The steel structure is used by everyone now.
