There is nothing on earth like riding the Cyclone for the first time. For starts, it's old. How can something nearly 80 years old hold together? Second, the first drop. As a kid I remember the adreneline pumping as it made its climb up the tracks to the top. I was scared, and it hadn't even dropped. Lastly, this is New York in all its dingy glory! The beach, the hot dogs at Nathans, the boardwalk. You don't have to drive for hours, waste the gas, and stand on long, long, long lines like other so-called amusement parks. Ride the Cyclone, get a tan, walk the boardwalk, see the Cyclone baseball team play, visit an outpost of Russia. Can't beat it for a subway ride!
Pros: Cyclone, History, Diversity
