Cyclone Pictures

Amusement Park Pictures > Williams Grove > Roller Coasters > Cyclone Pictures

The train used on Cyclone is from the old Palisades Park Cyclone. In fact, this coaster had its name changed from Zipper to Cyclone to match the trains when they were acquired.

Looking up the lift hill. The first drop can be seen in the background of this photo.

A cool double dip.

The Cyclone opened in 1933.

Coming back off the turnaround at the far end of the ride.
Williams Grove's train ride runs right through the Cyclone's support structure.

You'll notice that in most of these photos, no one is sitting in the last seat of each car. It's not coincidence. Cyclone gives an insane ride in the rear seats. When we sat in the rear seat of the first car on our first ride, the ride-op warned us that the ride can be pretty rough in that seat and suggested we either move or I hold on to my daughter real tight. We stayed and I held on - we had a good time!

Cyclone was the last remaining operating coaster designed by Oscar Bitler.

Into the turnaround.

Part of the Cyclone was damaged by fire in fall of 1995. That winter part of the ride collapsed due
to the weight of snow. It was closed in 1996 while Williams Grove spent $500,000 to repair it.
