Some retracking love and some over-ambitious braking additions have served to make this old coaster ride-able. But sadly because of the over-braking and other slow-down issues, there's not much to this ride after a very promising and fun first drop. The Cyclone is definitely a good candidate for the Iron Horse solution used on the Texas Giant at Six Flags Over Texas as the layout would provide some excellent thrills if the coaster was allowed to operate at full speed. - James Rao

Worst and roughest coaster I've ever ridden. Little to no airtime and at the bottom of every hill I felt like I broke a rib. I had to walk gingerly the for 20 minutes afterward. This ride should be demolished. - David Garey
