Cyclone front seat on-ride HD POV Luna Park Coney Island NYC

As a New Yorker I have a hell of allot of respect for the Cyclone. It’s nearly 100 years old and still operating strong. Strong is understatement actually, as riding it feels as if you’ve been in multiple car accidents at once, that intense. Especially the rear seat where the train literally leaps off the tracks on hills despite the heavy old trains and couch seats (thanks god for those). Ride the front row first and then the last, as both are completely different experiences 💪🏼

[@hauserschannel]

Visited New York and rode the Cyclone in 1966 when I was 13 and it scared the hell out of me! I had a pic taken when I got off and I looked like a crazy person!!😂

[@lexyc8127]

My parents grew up in Brooklyn and my dad took my mom here on one of their dates, and he took her on the Cyclone. She came off that ride cursing him out because of how terrifying it was. Fast forward about 25-30 years, and we went to Coney Island one day as a family (we’re only about 1.5 north of there and my grandparents still live in Brooklyn so we’re in the area pretty often). After I finally got over my fear of roller coasters, my dad took me on the Cyclone. I got off that ride, cursing up a storm because of how much I hated it. My dad couldn’t stop laughing at how much I sounded like my mother.

I’m really nearsighted, so the world was a blur even before I got on. That first ride was terrifying and amazing!!

Rode this thing a few times as a kid back in the 70's. The thing that makes this ride so great is it's like visiting a haunted house. It creeks and groans, clicks and clacks.. and then plummets you straight into the cellar! Then... once you think all is safe...you get a load of the wooden rails supposedly there to prevent you from plummeting to your untimely demise. I'm pretty sure the last time I rode that thing was just before they were considering closing what remained of the "Old Coney Island". Which by then was essentially just a bunch of independent operators. There were still tons of cheesy carnival booths, ring tosses, huge stuffed animals to win, cart vendors everywhere, the original Nathan's and (unfortunately) garbage strewn all over. It was still pretty seedy and packed back then even though the beach was closed due to the horrid state they were in at the time. I'm amazed that rollercoaster has lasted all these years, even more so because by the time I had ridden it as a kid for the last time... it was already over 40 years old.

[@noahnorman6877]

Although it may not seem like the kind of coaster to do it, the airtime on the Cyclone is actually insane. On literally every hill you get that heart stopping feeling that you’re about to float out of your seat, this thing is literally a torture device for me or anyone who doesn’t like experiencing G-force. Combined with the fact that the last time I rode there was nothing to hold onto when you drop, makes this thing a monster. Even when I went to Six Flags Great Adventure for a college trip and rode Nitro and El Toro I had something to grab onto to counter the airtime, but it seems like Cyclone was specially designed to make you feel every bit of it as you can without you able to counter it.

[@Ceerads]

Last time I was on it was 60 years ago. The Cyclone is basic rollercoaster, but it’s the best! I’m still in Brooklyn but can now “ride” this only on video.

I live on the Central Coast of California and have rode The Giant Dipper in Santa Cruz more times than I can count. Hope to ride The Cyclone one day and be one of the few people who've ridden both rides.

I live in California and have ridden the Giant Dipper countless times, too. On a trip to NY in 2005, went out to Coney Island and rode the Cyclone, which is very similar looking to the Giant Dipper from the ground. However, they feel completely different from each other! The Giant Dipper is so much more fun and less painful. The Cyclone is much, much rougher and truly painful. After our ride, the operators were offering us a two-for-one price to ride it again, and we passed because it was just so miserable. With the Giant Dipper, you get off and run back to the line to go again. Happy to have the Giant Dipper on the west coast!

@@aggiesjc I'll take your word for The Cyclone being more painful than the giant Dipper, but the giant Dipper is no Picnic. Make no mistake, the giant Dipper is going to knock you around pretty good. When that rides over, you know you've been through an ordeal.

The Cyclone is another example of the American ingenuity we used to have when we built things to last.

I remember riding the Cyclone back in 1973, when I was a wee kid. Nice to see they still have it.

[@jamesnorris1886]

That was same year I went on for first time…I was 8!!!! 🤪

I remember when I was much younger, I went on the ride twice in a row. Once in the front car and the other in the last seat. There were only a few other people on the coaster.

Rode the Cyclone in summer 2005 and was shocked by how rough it was. It was brutal and painful, and it seemed to take forever. When we got back into the station, the operators offered us a discount to ride it again, but with a huge neck ache and headache from the first time, we passed. We live in California and have ridden the Giant Dipper in Santa Cruz countless times. Since the Cyclone looks a lot like the Giant Dipper from the ground, we figured it would feel the same, but they're nothing alike in the feel of the ride. The Giant Dipper is much smoother and actually fun. On the Cyclone, I was just waiting for the agony to end.

It got a full retracking since then, and it's been running exceptionally well. It's still an aggressive ride with some really good laterals and airtime, but now it's enjoyably physical rather than painful.

[@aggiesjc]

@@A_A610 That is great to know. I'd almost like to try it again! However, being almost 20 years older with arthritis in my neck would probably keep me admiring it from the ground.

Hello everyone who could ever go to luna park. Today 07.10.22, at 2.45 pm. I and my boyfriend took a ride on cyclone. I left my purse on the area where you put your belongings. After the ride 160$ was stolen from my purse. I was shocked when I came back home!!! I didn’t leave my purse anywhere except cyclone. So please make sure you don’t take much cash, or any jewelry in your bag. Cause that guy is a thief!!!! I am shocked how people could work and open bags and steal money or other belongings while you enjoying your ride!!! Crazy!!!!
