Date Ridden: Various times over the past 15 years with the latest being Opening Day 2008. Times Ridden: Many Whew...its been a while since Ive been on here thanks to other things going on...mainly fantasy baseball season beginning. However, after visiting SFOG on Opening Day and rding Goliath 50 (yes thats right....50) times, I thought it was time to start back with my coaster reviews. The Cyclone was fresh on my mind so I thought Id start back with it. To begin with, I am very proud of my home park. We have one of the top 10 steel coasters in the world according to both Mitchs poll and the Golden Tickets, a well respected steel looper in Mindbender, and also a strong woodie which gets solid reviews from most enthusiasts in the GA Cyclone. While the Cyclone is not among my favorite rides, it is still a solid ride which gives tons airtime and lots of fun. The ride is not rough as other reviews say. It is simply the design and layout which leads to a very intense ride. Are you going to get slammed around? Yes. Are you going to get thrown from your seat on approximately a half dozen occasions? Yes. Are you going to tossed from one side of your seat to the next? Yes again because that is the way the ride is set up. I personally prefer the back seat to any other area of the train. Uneblievably the ride seems just as intense but maybe a little smoother back there than up fron or in the middle. Plus the airtime is really extreme......not El Toro extreme but very good nonetheless. The GA Cyclone gets a solid 8 from me and a spin or two on every trip I make down to Austell.
