Cyclone Roller Coaster
One of Six Coasters at Revere
The two most famous of the six roller coasters on Revere Beach were The Lightning Roller Coaster and The Cyclone. Six roller Coasters? Who knows the names of the other four?
The Tickler, The Thunderbolt, Derby Racer and the Jack Rabbit. Dragon Gorge and the Thompson Scenic Railway were also early favorites.
"The Cyclone Roller Coaster was the world's most famous. It was built in 1925 at a cost of $125,000.This all wood coaster was built by Harry Travers. Its first vertical drop was 100 feet and riders experienced the thrill of the ride at speeds of 45 to50 mph. It was the world's fastest and largest coaster measuring 3600 feet of track. The Cyclone operated for almost 50 years, ceasing in 1969 and was demolished in 1974."
