While I was never actually on this wooden track twister out of fear of having too much excitement in too short a time, I still proclaim it to be the worlds fastest ride you will never forget.
The Cyclone first opened on June 26 , 1927 and to date is ranked as the best roller coaster ride. My Photographs will demonstrate why.


Now I can think of a million or so captions for this picture like
