Coney Island Cyclone $8 a ride!

COME ON!!!
Pay around $50 at major theme park. How much does it come to when you ride
6 rides all day???
CYCLONE is worth it. If that's what it takes to ride that time machine/
piece of art....then so be it

Some people just don't know when they have it so good! I have to spend
several hundred dollars just to fly to New York to ride the Cyclone.
And I've done it in the past. So for another $8 for a single ride, I'm
not going to let that stop me! If I have to spend $80 for ten rides, so
be it.

You gotta live and have a life! I have friends who last rode the
Cyclone 40 years ago. They can still recall being terrified on it.
Memories like that are imprinted into the brain, are priceless, and last
a lifetime. I have a lot of great memories on the Cyclone. What a
great ride!

I ABSOLUTELY agree!
That coaster was a legend passed onto me from my mother and cousins when I
was a kid. Nothin in Pittsburgh was like it!
I paid 50 cents for my first ride in '60's. I rode it 3 times!
Porportionaltely to what kind of money I made then and how little I had with
me, I was paying about $100 a ride to where I am now.....it was and always
will be worth it.
I try and get back every season if possible!
There were years it was fast and smooth ( not runmbling in each valley) and
there have been years when I it felt like I was in a car wreck. I will
always go back to ride as long as it is running and I am breathing!
The top of the first drop looking at the ride ahead and the beach and ocean
is one of my favorite places on earth!!
LONG LIVE THE CYCLONE!!!
