Bless you Rob and TPR - for making this excellent POV and footage of the Southport Cyclone. - You've made the only good quality pov footage I know to exist for this award winning ride. It truly deserved better respect than demolishion by powers that be. It's nice to see that it's been recognised by TPR as well for being one of the classic wooden roller coasters in the UK. :)

Classic historic ride....luckily been on it......then you look around..and suddenly the years are gone and taken so much ...and so many...with them...!!!!....Good job back there we had all that fun...!!!!!

Raising a glass of 'Southport Brewery Cyclone' beer in its memory!

I loved this roller coaster. I especially loved that on a good day from the top you could see Blackpool Tower! Fond memories of going here as a kid and a real shame when the park closed down. No one seemed to know it was going to close down though? Not sure what happened really. Sad and I agree with someone else in these messages the UK needs more Woody's. You can't beat a good woody.

Southport was a mint day out as a teenager so many memories. Cyclone, traumatiser, river caves, gold mine, the slides, wild cat, fun house, the mirror house, pirate ship and a few other flat rides I can't think about, take me back.

I LOVE CYCLONE FOREVER

I recall going on this ride with my dad in the 1950s and was very scared at the time. Very sad that it has been demolished and with it all the happy memories. The same fate befell the Morecambe Cyclone and Manchester's Belle Vue Bobs. The latter was one of the bumpiest rides ever!

Tunnnnel, sweeet loong tunnnel :) RIP Cyclone

The very first rollercoaster I ever went on! Happy old days! 👌

Brings back memories from my childhood! Loved this ride! Also remember the river caves ride too! Great times!

My Late Grandfather and Grandmother went on this roller coaster when it was brand new since my Late Grandfather came from southport, plus most my family went on this rollercoaster

I miss this ride, I have a few pieces of it in my attic

This was my local Rollercoaster, I grew up going to Pleasureland. Only here would such a unique attraction be allowed to be demolished. One afternoon I wandered over and took some photographs of this coaster, unbeknownst to me it was being smashed down the next day. I'm on of the last people in the world to photograph this ride. Contact me if you'd like the pics.

I went on this as a kid too. And the Bobs, and the Morecambe one, and some in Blackpool. Pity they have gone. The wooden coaster in Budapest is still in operation though - went on it a couple of weeks ago.

Went on this ride as a kid and god was it rough, it was the first proper rollercoaster i'd ever been on just like many others and its a shame that its long since passed on, a real shame:

It’s a shame these were removed, look great fun

I feel very sad watching this. Was the first roller coaster i ever went on, i was about 4 or 5. It got me hooked on coasters

Superb video

Pleasureland should have been turned intoba heritage amusement park like dreamland Margate. Could have saved the classic cyclone, and funhouse, river caves and crooked cotage. But at least dreamland saved most of theclassics except cyclone

i first met Cat stevens and Steve Marriot from the Small faces there back in 1968

Alex, I think the reason why the Velkma SLC was moved and this carelessly demolished was because it of cost issues, I point to Arkansas Twister in the US, sure they pYed 10 grand for it, but it cost $900,000 in construction costs, it's sad, but it was inevitable

For a country with very few woodies, demolishing a classic like this is a stupid, stupid move. Why the fuck would they save Traumatizer, a shitty SLC, instead of this?

Lost count of the amount of times i've been on this ride. Pity I didn't know that the last time I went on it would be my last. RIP :'(

that's cool

Looks like it just gets moving then it ends

Probably the 1st rollercoaster i went or near abouts.

I'll ask....lift hill??

reminds me of a roller coaster i rode at gullivers world called the antelope

I loved this coaster, why the owner of blackpool ripped it down i dont know you could have probably got a grant to re frub it.

Hopefully if the new owners of Southport Pleasureland make enough money, and they seem to be doing fairly well, they'll have to good sense to rebuild the cyclone on its former site. It won't be exactly the same but it'd be so cool. Maybe they could even improve it a litt.e. The owners of Pleasurebeach Blackpool knew what they were doing when they demolished this gem.

Remember this so well, was scary for me then lol

Fuck me, there proper rollercoaster enthusiasts

First time on this coaster In primary school remember that there were some Scottish punks riding in back cars 1 had green hair Happy days

It's Pleasureland!

lmao what's with that lift hill?!

I don't have any memories of getting airtime on this coaster but it looks from this vid that there is. As I obviously cannot go back and ride it, can anyone fill me in?

IM sad when I was little I used to come to this park and ride this ride eery time I went including my 5 cent bubble gum!

@TCGTrader1997 It's crooked..off center, and drops a few degrees towards the top!!

RIP, Southport :(

Occasionally they would couple up the middle car back to front, so you could ride the coaster backwards.

this video makes it look very small and slow but i dont remember it that way :/

You can ride this in India, it has its clone in Nico Park, Kolkata, India

I miss the cyclone and traumatizer.

@xXtotalyawesomeXx because the owners ripped it down, shame really considering it was built in the 1930's...

10 cameras? Really?

2 trains with 3 cars per train. Riding across of 3 rows avaibile a total of 18 riders per train.

Southport fair is awful nowadays.

the same lies in nicco park in India....

@edgar180 Thats what happens when they go big business (liberal)

I always thought it was sold to an American outfit.

Tbh Honest Pleasureland has gone to shit now, since they removed the good rides of the park and now their major coasters or PINFARI coasters!!!!! I didn't mind if an SLC was there biggest ride but a pinfari…...nope!
