A Walk in the Amusement Park
The cyclone was opened on June 26,1927 and was open to the public. The cyclone was a thrill back then and over the years only got better. The architects of the cyclones goal was to create an exciting ride open to anyone. Vernon Keenan the designer of the architect met the goal perfectly and now the cyclone is not only a ride but a landmark for which it is one of the last remaining wooden roller coasters. The cyclone though is not the only attraction in the area. The cyclone is surrounded by other rides in Coney Island and Luna park are filled with fun filled rides for relaxing and than fast scary rides for the dare devils. These sites make the setting and neighbor hood of the structure very exciting. It also has a series of great restaurants that are just outstanding for example Nathan's famous that hosts the hot dog eating contest once a year has some of the greatest hot dogs around. The ride cost $175,000 to build and was made out of wood and steel but every penny, nickel and dime was well spent for the perfect ride to make a perfect day.

Reviews
“The Cyclone-Coney Island-A great wooden rollercoaster”
It was a long time since I rode the Cyclone in Coney Island. So, my family & I made up for it with 3 rides in succession. The first ride goes for $6.00, the next $4.00, and the third is negotiable! (We got it for $3.00 each, in the first train as well.) The 1 minute & 50 second ride at speeds reaching 60 mph is a thriller. It's not a "rough" coaster either, airtime is good too.
The Wonder Wheel is a must too, and just a one minute walk from the Cyclone. These are two classic rides, and I am comfortable in knowing they will be there for years to come.

“A classic”
Coney Island is worth the effort to stop and enjoy the atmosphere. The beach is there, there are rides and food on the Boardwalk but people watching is the best. Parking is on site. Famous Nathans is there as well as many other options. If you are into cycling the Tour de Brooklyn started there

The Start
The cyclone opened on June 26th, 1927 in Coney Island, Brooklyn. It all started with Vernon Keenan and Harry Baker designing and creating the roller coaster that now stands tall and is a landmark that people travel from everywhere around the world travel to see. This roller coaster is 17/1872 acres tall and 2/33 acres long. This is a ride that sends you flying with every twist and turn and creates an enchanted experience at Coney Island.
