Crystal Beach Cyclone, Wooden roller coaster in Crystal Beach, Ontario, Canada
The Crystal Beach Cyclone featured a steel support structure with wooden tracks and reached speeds of 97 kilometers per hour during operation.
Opening in 1927 with construction costs of 176,000 dollars, this roller coaster utilized 250 tons of steel and 20,000 boards of lumber.
The coaster attracted 75,000 visitors on its first day and became particularly popular among servicemen during World War II at Crystal Beach.
A permanent nurse station was positioned at the ride exit to assist passengers who experienced physical effects from the intense forces.
The ride generated forces exceeding 4 Gs, causing passengers to shift positions during the 40-second journey through steep drops and spirals.
