I know you're saying in this age where coasters are well over four hundred feet tall how can an eighty five foot drop be terrifying?  It is because those cars just whip over the top sending you violently up into the lap bar.



You are whipped up and then slammed down into your padded seats before you know it.  Then you're up and around before getting whipped up and slammed down again.



I had heard that the Cyclone's back seat was legendarily intense so I chose that for my first ride.  Kevin was going to go with me but us two big guys didn't quite fit so instead of firmly being wedged in my seat I slammed back and forth coming around The Cyclone's turns.



After being whipped around it was time for my posterior to be sent skyward again.
