 Review of Cyclone @ Six Flags New England
2 Rating Posted by: aleksh on 7/31/2001 1:06:00 AM
Excellent ride. This thing is what Wooden coasters are all about. FAST, steep, savage, disorienting, scary, relentless. THe first driop has been mutilated twice now, once because of a lawsuit filed by a non believer and the second time by six flage for evil puropses only they know. Anyway this ride is so good even such butchery actually improved it making it faster than ever. If you want smooth, ride the carousel. You want comrfort? Go someplace else. This is an earlu Billy Cobb masterpiece. You want to be scared, thrilled? Hop in and find out why 54" is justified. Best experienced in the dark. We got on it after a 15 minute rain and it was haulin the mail. Not recommended if your idea of heaven is made by B&M. This ride has the most uncomfortable, rattling plastic piece of crap cars Ive ever ridden, but it makes th epackage all the more complete. (Hint get in the same car as a fat person, the lap bars are linked fornt and back seat, this way youll get some moving room LOL.)
If you like Le Monstre in LaRonde WHy isnt it listed on With LaRonde here??? you will love this.

Originally the first drop went almost to the ground. A non-believer with a bad back and worse lawyer sued. The insurance company wet their pants and had Riverside raise the bottom of the first drop about 20 ft to make them happy. Of course this meant there was no rise into the first turn to slow it down at all so the ride actually became more intense having more velocity going into that second cockeyed drop

ohh! sounds rough! I really wish Six Flags made a clone of the old drop instead of making there own. By the way the drop was changed because the new trains are twice as heavier and thery basically were and still are battering the coaster. That made the brutal first drop uterlly painful. I have mixed feelings about the cars and the ride as well.

yes youre right when the ride opened the cars were the kind like on the Comet at great escape, wooden rather than plastic with three seats rather than two. That is another thing that they changed when they tore up the tracks.
