Cyclone, Wooden roller coaster at Revere Beach, Massachusetts, US.
Cyclone was a wooden roller coaster at Revere Beach in Massachusetts, known for its long track and wooden structure with sharply banked curves. The ride featured two parallel trains and was designed to deliver fast speeds and dynamic turning sensations.
This coaster was designed in 1925 by engineer Frederick Church as an engineering achievement of the time. It shaped the development of the beach park for several decades before being decommissioned in the late 1960s.
This coaster was a popular destination for families and friends seeking summer entertainment by the ocean. It shaped the leisure experience at Revere Beach for generations of visitors.
The location was directly on the beach and easily accessible by public transport that ran regularly to the amusement park. Visitors were best served coming during warmer months when the ride operated and beach facilities were fully available.
The structure was built so robustly that it withstood intense ocean storms and salt air for decades despite needing regular repairs. This durability made it unusual among beach attractions of that era, most of which lasted only a few years.
