Last time I was on it, the front axel derailed at the loop de loop and sent all six of us flying to our deaths.

for being 90 years old (It was made in 1927) it is pretty nice and in good conditions, which is pretty unbelievable.

As a New Yorker I have a hell of allot of respect for the Cyclone. It’s nearly 100 years old and still operating strong. Strong is understatement actually, as riding it feels as if you’ve been in multiple car accidents at once, that intense. Especially the rear seat where the train literally leaps off the tracks on hills despite the heavy old trains and couch seats (thanks god for those). Ride the front row first and then the last, as both are completely different experiences 💪🏼

*you know this dream of life is never ending*

A video doesn't do this "gray lady" justice! That first drop is a DOOOOOZY! Still one of the best coasters I've ever been on.

Who else are the Ride the Cyclone fans here looking at this video for the obvious reason?

who else only watches these rollercoaster videos the day before you go to amusment parks

My parents grew up in Brooklyn and my dad took my mom here on one of their dates, and he took her on the Cyclone. She came off that ride cursing him out because of how terrifying it was. Fast forward about 25-30 years, and we went to Coney Island one day as a family (we’re only about 1.5 north of there and my grandparents still live in Brooklyn so we’re in the area pretty often). After I finally got over my fear of roller coasters, my dad took me on the Cyclone. I got off that ride, cursing up a storm because of how much I hated it. My dad couldn’t stop laughing at how much I sounded like my mother.

How the hell did this thing survive hurricane Sandy?

next thing you know, you’re in a theatre and have to sing for your life (iykyk)

THE HEAD OF THE GIRL SITTING NEXT TO ME FLEW OFF 🙀🙀🙀🙀

I'm riding the cyclone with my choir on Monday! Nothing can go wrong right?

Went on it the other day, that second drop made me almost fly out my seat I swear

The people who conceived and built this amazing structure were geniuses. No technology like today yet still one of the greatest coasters ever built. Coney Island was an amazing place to spend an entire day great memories.

🎵Falling through the air I wonder HOW CAN THIS BE FAAAAAIR OOOOOOOOHHH AAAAHH~🎵

Anyone else here because there obsessing over ride the cyclone at the moment

Sooooo glad I live in brooklyn! Best place ever with best amusement park and hands down best hot dogs in the universe! Also it's so much more chill then Manhattan, take it from me when you live in Brooklyn you rarely go to the city and when you have to it's like a chore! It's great and all but to many tourists, the city does have great food though!!!

And from the ground beneath my feet I hear the anguish of the street

Hm sure hope no one rides this on Monday September 14th and is a member of the St Cassian choir

the former st Cassian chamber choir, who on Monday, September 14th, would board the cyclone roller-coaster at 6:17pm. at 6:19, this same roller coasters front axle would break, causing it to derail at the apex of the loop de-loop hurtling the children to their deaths

I went on this during summer 2019 and I felt like I was gonna fall out. I had my eyes closed for pretty much the entire ride. Yep. It was that scary.

where are the theater kids in these comments bro

and then youre sailing throught space.. You dont know up from down... And you feel a little strange.. From all that spinning roouuunndd...

Ah i remember on Monday September 14th 6 teenagers boarded the cyclone roller coaster at 6 17 p.m at 6:19 this same roller coaster front axle would break causing it to derail the apex of the loop de loop causing the children to fall to their death tho I can’t recall or remember the sixth one name or how looked liked hm…

“They found my body…but not my head”

love the seats. there like couches

That was part of the thrill and terrifying experience knowing this ride is ancient. You feel like it will break apart at any moment. The Wonder Wheel (swinging cars) gives you the same horrifying experience. The creaks alone sound like the cars will go flying off into the ocean. Scary stuff but oh so much fun!

Man those poor kids who rode the cyclone

the drop looks so short from the vidoe but in reality it feels so long

Who wouldn't love the world famous Coney Island Cyclone? It's a pretty good ride, even though it is very old and a bit rough, the seats really make a difference for this ride.

it’s just a riiiIiIiiiiiiiiiiiiididddDdDdDdDdeeEeEeEeE

last time i rode this the front azel derailed during the loop de loop and sent me to my death. Luckly i sang my way back to life. I dont really reccomend xx

yk i miss this ride, last time i was there some kids got killed on the loop lol

Rode it in 2002 and there was no line. This was the most intense coaster I've ridden, period. It was soooooooooooooooo fast!!

Rode this once and it was so frightening that I had my eyes shut the whole time. A total classic coaster.

Grew up in Bay Ridge, in the 80’s, during the summer/on weekends after midnight, the cyclone would ride BACKWARDS!!! You would climb up that first hill w/ your back to the top - it’s was AWESOME…

(Me- this don't look that scary) *when I'm on the ride* "DEEP HEAVENS JESUS CRIST SAVE ME FROM THIS DEATH! I HATE THIS SO MUCH

I just recently went on my first big roller coaster in my life, it was this one! It was AMAZING and it was much faster than what it seems like in videos!

This ride is super fun. Rode it 4 times in a row with my cousin and uncle 😛🔥

Last time I went on the Cyclone they found my body but not my head.

I went on this ride a month ago..it felt like my soul came out my body

This is the very 1st coaster I was on, I wascthe youngest of five and my older siblings took me on this ride without my parents knowledge scared the you know what out of me. I am 70 years young now and can think back with a smile. Maybe I will bring my grandchildren to experience it

Some might say we're released Pushing daisies, deceased But we all know the worms must be fed There's just one lingering fear Oh my soul, is it here? Or is it rotting somewhere with my head? Oh my soul Oh my soul Oh my soul Oh my soul Ooh... Ooh... Ahh... Ahh... ah Oh no soul, and no name And no story, what a shame Cruel existence was only a sham? Oh Saint Peter, let me in! You must know where I've been Won't you tell me at last who I am? Who I am Who I am Who I am Who I am Ooh... Ooh... Ahh... Ahh... ah And from the ground, beneath my feet I hear the anguish of the street A choir never complete And like an old forgotten tune A song that no one knows... Forgot how it goes Just John and me Forever eternally, Jane Doe And I'm asking "why, lord?" If this is how I die, lord Why be left with no family And no friends? I’ve got no celebration Just this consolation Time eats all his children In the end A melody floats through the air When silence falls, does no one care? Does anyone care? Another sad, forgotten tune Another song that no one knows So that's how it goes! Just John and me Forever eternally, Jane Doe And she's asking "why, lord?" Why, oh why, oh why, oh why...? "This is no way to die, lord!" No one to sing, no one to sigh Now that all is said and done Isn’t there anyone to tell me who I am? No singing songs of celebration (Ah ah ah ah) Just this sorry speculation (Aah ahh) Like John I’ll be eternally A forgotten name, some lost refrain Just "Jane" Jane... Doe! A melody floats through the air When silence falls, does no one care? Jane Doe

this ride is really old and rough, but the seats make up for it. it doesnt make a difference on your height cause im 4'9 andi was perfectly fine

This was the first roller coaster I've been on. I live in a small unknown part of Canada in the country side. The biggest ride I've been on is the zipper, so this was a big step up.

Today I went on the cyclone. Let me tell you, the ride still is working good and it’s fun!

I remember going on a this when visiting my family up in Brooklyn. Loved it!

One of the best wooden coasters I have ever been on ❤❤❤❤❤❤

I'm still scared of the Cyclone knowing it's history. Literally knowing that a musical was actually created based off on the incidents.... yikes. I wouldn't ride it surprisingly, I love the thrill but no way am I gonna end up like Keith or... Noel Gruber from Ride the Cyclone.

"Can you spot where the track repair work has been done?" Its eye gouging from how much there is XD

The Greatest Roller Coaster Ever Built.

I'm supposed to go on it today and I've never went on a rollercoaster.. looks amazing

Got on when I was 12 weighed about 77 lbs almost jumped off my seat and fell, seats very unsafe for skinny people! Truly terrifying feeling of knowing you’ll come crashing down to solid concrete from 30-40 feet above ground!

WOW-it is FLYING. O don't think I've ever taken those top level turns that fast!

I know damn well some of you are Theatre Kids

There is actually a book about it. It's by Doreen Cronin and it's called Cyclone

ballad of jane doe

Oh man!I went at night,next time I will go in the day time for viewing of everything! Thank you so much for uploading!!

guys.. I was there when it happened. I was 7. I almost died but I broke my wrist. I also have a scar on my left wrist. I loved that roller coaster.

Beautiful done! Bravo!

I took the same ride with my brother in the front seat 25 years ago. When I got off I was sobbing. You can get your picture taken at the top. I did it with my wife. Again.. terrified. Clickity clack. Clickity clack. Whoosh. Amazing.

One thing I will say is this is no short fucking ride. Buckle up and hang on. One of the greatest coasters ever. And with those views of the Atlantic Ocean? 🔥

Went on 3 Times last year. Best roller coaster ever.

I went on this rollercoaster and it was great!!😍😄

Ahhh the memories. Thanks for the post.

One if the best in the world! Love it!

Rode last summer for first time in my 59 years. Bucket list item - it was worth every penny.

When on this ride in the early 70s and later on wound up servicing the neon sign amazing love Coneyisland

Apparently this is one of the steepest wooden rollercoasters in the world, which is pretty impressive for a coaster built in 1927, long before Vekoma, RMC, Gravity Group and GCI revolutionised wooden coasters.

Its a Cory and Riley moment lol HOLD ME DADDY, DADDY, HOLD ME! (I GOT YOU RILEY) DADDYYYYYYYYYY

It's on my bucket list, even if I normally don't do coasters.

It’s crazy how slow it runs in this video. I thought it was going to fail to complete the course a few times there.

Although it may not seem like the kind of coaster to do it, the airtime on the Cyclone is actually insane. On literally every hill you get that heart stopping feeling that you’re about to float out of your seat, this thing is literally a torture device for me or anyone who doesn’t like experiencing G-force. Combined with the fact that the last time I rode there was nothing to hold onto when you drop, makes this thing a monster. Even when I went to Six Flags Great Adventure for a college trip and rode Nitro and El Toro I had something to grab onto to counter the airtime, but it seems like Cyclone was specially designed to make you feel every bit of it as you can without you able to counter it.

Going thier this weekend cant wait!!

I remember riding the Cyclone back in 1973, when I was a wee kid. Nice to see they still have it.

im going to ride this on sunday!!! im very very excited

Rode this ride for the first time last week.....its def a wild roller coaster

its amazing. I've lived in Brooklyn my whole life and never rode the cyclone. I intend to change that tomorrow.

WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS IS PEOPLE LIKE ME

Atleast it’s not September 15

No fair! I've always wanted to ride this as a kid!

This makes me miss NY so much!!

One of the best ever.

Last time I was on it was 60 years ago. The Cyclone is basic rollercoaster, but it’s the best! I’m still in Brooklyn but can now “ride” this only on video.

HAD A GREAT TIME THERE!!!

I live on the Central Coast of California and have rode The Giant Dipper in Santa Cruz more times than I can count. Hope to ride The Cyclone one day and be one of the few people who've ridden both rides.

Of all the roller coasters, the cyclone racer in Long Beach was my all time favorite.

Went on this today my first rollercoaster.. Traumatized for life Edit: omg I can't believe I found this it's 2023 now and I am going back to Luna park this year

Never going on here again. 0:42 lost my head and everything 💀

First ever coaster keep it there

Love this ride

Wow, GCI did an amazing retracking job!

This roller coaster is epic!!!

I went on it today and bro bro bro brooooo my phone would fly out of my hands if I tried this, btw my favorite ride

At least this roller coaster wasn't going crazy like the Luna Park Thunderbolt where that thing lifted people off their seats and it was a whirlwind of a ride.

Hello everyone who could ever go to luna park. Today 07.10.22, at 2.45 pm. I and my boyfriend took a ride on cyclone. I left my purse on the area where you put your belongings. After the ride 160$ was stolen from my purse. I was shocked when I came back home!!! I didn’t leave my purse anywhere except cyclone. So please make sure you don’t take much cash, or any jewelry in your bag. Cause that guy is a thief!!!! I am shocked how people could work and open bags and steal money or other belongings while you enjoying your ride!!! Crazy!!!!

Bro I just went on the cyclone for the first time yesterday and after that I went on it over and over

Going tomorrow so scared but going to have funn

I know this rollercoaster by heart. My mom and I would go to NYC for two weeks every year since I was seven. I hate that the owners sold half of it to Astroland. But still is the place to go to when there, but make sure you are gone by nightfall because the gangs come out.

Rode this thing a few times as a kid back in the 70's. The thing that makes this ride so great is it's like visiting a haunted house. It creeks and groans, clicks and clacks.. and then plummets you straight into the cellar! Then... once you think all is safe...you get a load of the wooden rails supposedly there to prevent you from plummeting to your untimely demise. I'm pretty sure the last time I rode that thing was just before they were considering closing what remained of the "Old Coney Island". Which by then was essentially just a bunch of independent operators. There were still tons of cheesy carnival booths, ring tosses, huge stuffed animals to win, cart vendors everywhere, the original Nathan's and (unfortunately) garbage strewn all over. It was still pretty seedy and packed back then even though the beach was closed due to the horrid state they were in at the time. I'm amazed that rollercoaster has lasted all these years, even more so because by the time I had ridden it as a kid for the last time... it was already over 40 years old.
