Texas Cyclone, Wooden roller coaster in Houston, United States.
The roller coaster stood 93 feet tall and extended 3,180 feet in length, delivering a two-minute ride through steep drops and sharp turns.
Texas Cyclone operated at Six Flags AstroWorld from 1976 until 2005, designed as a larger and faster replica of the original Coney Island Cyclone.
The roller coaster established itself as a central attraction at Six Flags AstroWorld, drawing thousands of thrill-seekers to experience its intense track layout.
Engineers modified the first turn by lowering it two feet in 1979 to prevent the train from stalling during operation.
After the closure of AstroWorld, the roller coaster trains found a new home at La Ronde in Montreal, where they became part of Le Monstre.
