That was a great wooden coaster. Very similar to the Texas Cyclone at Astroworld.
Agreed. Both were terrifying due to wobbly/shitty construction and age.

The one in Jazzland wasn't that old just scary by way of design and the cyclone was just vicious.

Texas Cyclone at Astroworld is an absolute core memory for me on so many levels. What a great ride, even though they put those stupid high sides around the carts for a couple years. I bet I rode the Cyclone over a hundred times as a kid and teenager.

It was a nice little park that was so poorly run.


Can confirm. I walked down the zephyr two different times after it got stuck on the initial incline.

8/10. Would go again, but perhaps not at full price. I’m going to need a $12 off Coke can.

I first thought this was going to be a Tulane post with all kind of pics him and mother took.

Cyclone was an absolute beast so freaking fast and would beat the shat out of you.
