Nope, its a great ride. Probably the best twister woodie in the world. The
best airtime is the Phoenix at Knoebels in PA - incredible airtime - your butt
is never in the seat. But I digress....
Let me put it this way, my nephew, the mechnical engineer, rides everything.
He has no fear. He lives near Cleveland so CedarPoint, Six Flags Ohio (or
whatever they're calling it this year), Kennywood and KingsIsland are a short
trip, so he's close to over 30 coasters. The Cyclone scared the crap out of
him. He calls it the Coaster from Hell. Poor guy, never experienced being
slammed from one side of the seat to the other that violently before while
ducking headchoppers. It has THE best first hill on a woodie, period. And on
a cool evening, the sucker flies. But NEVER seat in the back seat unless you
have already booked an appointment with your chiropractor - it can be downright
painful.

How was it wierd? Was it not what you expected? Did you not expect it to be
semi-sleazy in appearance? Weird Stores?

The Cyclone is incredibly compact, yet it's on a different block even. (...) Ya, weird... (...) (22 years ago, 10-May-02, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
