Cyclone (Lakeside Amusement Park)


The Cyclone is a wooden roller coaster located at Lakeside Amusement Park in Denver, Colorado. Designed by Edward A. Vettel, the coaster opened in 1940.

Ride experience

The coaster starts by turning right, then turning left before entering the lift hill. After turning left while dropping, the coaster goes up another hill and turns left before dropping again. After turning left over two different hills, the ride goes over a bunny hop which doubles as a near-miss moment for riders. The ride then does one airtime hill before turning around and doing 3 final bunny hops before turning right into the station.

Awards

Cyclone has been awarded the ACE Classic Coaster award, which is given to historical roller coasters by the American Coaster Enthusiasts.
