I am afraid that I have to be the odd one out here. At the time of this review I have ridden 262 rollercoasters. The Cyclone was the roughest coaster I have ever been on. Now I was in the back seat of the second to last car, and I have been told that is one of the worst. This coaster was painful and very unpleasant. I found it worse than Son Of Beast, Mean Streak, and even J2 in Clementon. I KNOW how to properly ride a coaster, and yet my back hurt me for days after riding this coaster. So while I see a lot of people love the rough and tumble nature of this coaster, I have to warn some of you that it is a rough ride and to brace yourself. The roughest spots were at the bottom of every hill before the coaster would go up the next hill. I felt like I was being bashed into my seat during those moments. Many of the people I rode with felt the same way.
This coaster is a true classic, but it is also really rough. I DID ride it a second time in the second seat of the first car and I found that ride to be much better. So you might want to get that seat if you can. The problem is, the rather rude workers staffing the ride are not very understanding when you request to sit in a particular seat.
I am glad I got to ride this, but must warn that some of you will find this coaster really harsh, despite the many 10 ratings I see here. So ride with caution! I understand that its roughness makes many people love it, and I respect that. But I simply can not give a good rating to a coaster that hurt me physically. (And I am otherwise in excellent condition and never harmed on any of the other 261 coasters I have enjoyed.)
