Despite having a trim brake that robs it of way too much speed half the way through the ride The Cyclone is fun but not amazing.



As twisted a layout as The Cyclone has half the fun for me was just trying to figure out where it was going to take us next.



It is sad to see a coaster like the Cyclone go but having been on several of Rocky Mountain's designs I have no doubt that the reincarnation of the Cyclone is not going to be mellow, tame or neutered.  I don't think I'm going out on a limb when I say that it is going to be a hell of a ride whatever the sick geniuses at Rocky Mountain Construction do to it.



Just like his "Coaster Uncle" Bryan "Waterboy" Lydy Bond is drawn towards water rides on a hot summer day.  He wanted to take Penguin's Blizzard River for a go and as you can see he got just what he wanted, he got wet.



This is Pandemonium which is a Gerstlauer Spinning Coaster.  These are production model coasters and I have been on four of them while Bond had only been on three so we hopped in line and took it for a quick credit ride for him.
