I live within 30 minutes of this baby and LOVE IT! Even my wife who hates wooden coasters has ridden this back to back. The back seat isn’t as bad as you’d think, vey enjoyable catapult sensation. The front is also fantastic. This is a classic that lives up to the hype. What gets me is that if it’s this good to someone who started riding coasters in the 80′s, it must have been INSANE for people when it first arrived!

The Coney Island Cyclone is truely one of the greatest coasters of all time. Its a real thrill with steep drops and tight turns. I’ve been on it six times. It is definatly worth the overpriced eight dollars. It is a must ride for all coaster enthusiasts and all who go to Coney Island

Those two are rough but the roughest one that I have been on is the Rattler at Six Flags Fiesta Texas (OUCH)

ROAR at Six Flags America. My head still hurt three days later.

How do they compare to Gwazi or Georgia Cyclone? They were the two roughest woodies I have ridden (out of 60). Mean Streak and Son of Beast are rough, but tolerable if you choose your seat wisely.

Wow. I’m surprised that you found it that rough. Although, I did admit that I was ‘too old’ to even attempt it in the back seat. I just new that I’d get beat up back there, but that’s nothing new for woodies. I’d say Cyclone @ SFNE and Wildcat @ Hersheypark (when I rode it) were both a good bit rougher. I’d be interested to hear what other woodies you’ve found nearly as rough as the Coney Island Cyclone.

Sorry to swear in church, but IMO this venerated ride is just far too rough to be enjoyable. Yes, it IS crazy out of control, but be ready to pay for a CAT scan afterward to make sure you haven’t suffered a subdural hematoma. If you are up for violence to your brain, go for it. (I have 72 woodies on my track record. This is one I will NEVER, EVER ride again. I simply have too much to live for.)
