Attractions & ToursConey Island
The Cyclone
Description
Terrifying Brooklynites and visitors since 1927, the Cyclone has become synonymous with Coney Island and is the iconic roller coaster for New Yorkers. The NYC summertime destination and must-see attraction is both death defying and addictive. After the famous 85-foot first drop, passengers endure a harrowing barrage of 60-mile-per-hour twists and turns—but once the ride’s over, they can’t wait to do it again.
