Crystal Beach Cyclone, Wooden roller coaster in Crystal Beach, Ontario, Canada
Crystal Beach Cyclone was a wooden roller coaster with steel support structure and wooden tracks that dominated the amusement park landscape. The ride took passengers through steep drops and spirals that created intense physical sensations.
The coaster opened in 1927 as an early example of this type of wooden roller coaster design. It became a signature attraction that defined the park's identity throughout the following decades.
