I havn't been on it in years, but still see it when I go to Coney Island every spring and summer.

"Today, the Cyclone is the yardstick by which many other coasters are measured. It had steep drops, plenty of airtime, lateral g's and only a lapbar to hold passengers in."

there's a Cyclone at my six flags (atlanta, ga) that was built as a tribute to that one, i believe it's the exact same roller-coaster, i like it because it's classic but wooden coasters are goddamn rough as hell.

it's my favorite wooden coaster, though.
