crispy Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 Have you ever ridden the Coney Island Cyclone? I don't see Astroland in the Photo section, so I was wondering, also, is the coaster as good as everyone says, and is it worth the trip from NM to NY Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 Yeah, we've both ridden it. Not sure why I didn't end up getting photos for the site, though. Hmm.... It's an 'ok' ride. Personally I'mnot sure why it gets so much hype. I mean, there's nothing wrong with it or anything, I'm just not sure it lives up to the hype. I think I actually like some of the 'clones' better. --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 I pretty much agree with Robb on this one...it's more brutal and not quite as good as Georgia's or even Viper at SFGAm... I think it suffers from "The Beast" syndrome where because of its history and classic status it gets elevated to another level. Don't get me wrong, it's still a fun ride...just not a top 10 or 20!

CoasterCrazy Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 Robb and Elissa what is your favorite Cyclone clone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 It's not quite a clone, but I'd say Viper at SFGAm...closer to a true clone I'd say Georgia Cyclone at SFoG.

CoasterFanatic Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Not really worth a trip by itself from NM, but there are a million places close that you could also hit. There is also this little city about 20 minute subway ride from Coney Island .... NYC. It is worth the trip all by itself. <<- Avatar taken at Hogs and Heifers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
