While the Riverside Cyclone has had a bit of a makeover in the Six Flags era, it still is a good wooden roller coaster with an interesting course. While the original drop was a heart attack thriller, from what I have heard is that the forces generated by the trains traveling down that hill were putting alot of strain on the structure, rendering alot of wood replacement nesseccary. Therefore a reprofiling was needed. What would improve this ride would be to replace the existing train cars with classic NAD "Century Flyer" models. Can you imagine a ride on the Cyclone then?
