Seems like an awesome little ride. I feel like we didn't hear that much about it this past season (might just be me), so hopefully this year will put it back in the spotlight.

Twister looks like Wooden Warrior's bigger brother, which was a brilliant ride. Looking forward to riding it later this year!

Its amazing how many times I've seen people confuse this Twister with the one at Knoebels. Twister at Grona Lund looks like a lot of fun and love how it interacts with the other rides.

I haven't been on a Boomerang for six months now, so I'm starting to think I like them again...

 

That's the Boomerang-induced brain damage talking.

I've never been on a Boomerang...

 

Consider yourself somewhat lucky.

Depending on which one in the world, etc.

Oh - the Cyclone. Classic, scary as hell and brutal; but I loved every second

 

Note to self: The back row is a very, very bad idea.

^ I remember saying, "my chiropractor LOVED that," after my back row ride in 2008. Then my crazy A$$ got back on and rode again (much nearer to the front that time.)

 

Still an awesome ride and better than alot of the "clones" that followed.

I just watched Cyclone footage on 'Coasters in the Raw' last week and it was hilarious watching everyone's bodies severely jolt on the left uphill turn following the first drop.

 

I felt sorry for those of you on the ride, but I admit that it was really funny listening to the yelps of pain on that one turn on every cycle. That just looked horribly rough!

 

I hope to get to NYC this summer to ride it, but think that I might stay away as far away from the back as I can and try to nab the front. Can anyone tell me if they let you choose your seat, or is it by seat assignment only?

Have to love the way the train actually "bounces" at the bottom of each hill. Those cars might be padded to the max but the ride is still rough as hell!

The padding didn't save my knee on the ride the first time. I wasn't really paying attention to it the first time so I didn't really have my knees up against that padding in the front of the car. My knee hurt for most of the Road to CP trip after that, but it was so worth it! Cyclone is still the holy grail of wooden coasters. Everyone should go ride it.

Being originally from NY, Coney Island was one of my first "Park Experiences" Not sure when I first rode the Cyclone, but I loved every minute of it. While yes it's getting old and beats riders up, it should still be a must for any Wooden Coaster Enthusiast. Sit in the front, sit in the back, just hold on tight and prepare to get hurt!

 

Plus having the original Nathan's down the street makes it nice to recover from the ride with a nice lemonade and a good hot dog!
