About Coney Island Cyclone
★ Designated a U.S. National Historic Landmark (1988)
Coney Island Cyclone is a wooden roller coaster at Luna Park in Brooklyn, New York, USA, open since 1927. The ride stands 85 feet tall, drops 85 feet and reaches 60 mph over 2,640 feet of track.
Nearly a century old and still running its original layout, the Cyclone helped define what a roller coaster should feel like. Its rattling, lurching ride has been called both terrifying and transcendent by generations of riders.
Field note: designated a National Historic Landmark in 1988.
