When my friend and early coaster nut John Caruthers rode the CYCLONE RACER, his arm went numb after riding it all day. He went to the ER and he was fine, but he went back the next day to ride more. He said it was one of the best rollercoasters ever, and he traveled throughout the USA. I was born too late!

Lou was a real comedian. Even thought there were many comics like him there was always something special about Lou that separate him from the others.

They clearly shot POV for the rear projection - I would love to see that footage by itself

I sometimes wonder if that fire never happened at this park, and Colossus at magic mountain was still built then turned into twisted colossus which is good okay, would this cyclone racer still be at it's place all classic wooden dueler, or be rmced? Well who knows? And wish California still had this racing coaster! Just for fun, in a old Roller coaster tycoon scenario of mine I edited which is Woodworm Park, I built a nice recreational cyclone racer coaster which turned out very nice, but had to make it much less taller cause of bad stats!
