Coney Island Cyclone, Wooden roller coaster in Coney Island, Brooklyn, United States.
The Cyclone reaches speeds of 60 miles per hour along its 2,640-foot wooden track, featuring an 85-foot initial drop at 58.1 degrees.
The Cyclone opened on June 26, 1927, after the Rosenthal brothers invested $175,000 to build this roller coaster on the former Giant Racer site.
New York City designated the Cyclone as a landmark in 1988, recognizing its role in American amusement park development through the 20th century.
The roller coaster operates at Luna Park from spring through fall, with tickets available at the entrance gate on Surf Avenue.
Charles Lindbergh declared riding the Cyclone provided more excitement than piloting an aircraft at maximum velocity after his 1929 experience.
