Honestly I really like it that there is someone building new versions of this classic design because even though your old school Galaxi/Zyclon coaster that used to pop up at fairs and smaller amusement parks weren't the pinnacle of coaster design they are still stupidly fun with a little bit of jankiness thrown in.

The Super Cyclone is a great ride that is absolutely perfect for a small park like Santa's Village.

The ride is not too big as most of the guests to the park are able to ride it.

It has airtime, drops, head choppers and a little speed thrown in.

Then at the last third of the ride you have several helices that have you completely enclosed in the rides structure.

Got to give the Super Cyclone two thumbs up as it was a fantastic and faithful recreation of a classic design.
