I remember the Cyclone Racer. That's Downtown L.B. in the background.

Hi, There is a movie that was made in the 1950s. The name of the movie is ' Gorilla At Large '. The movie was basically filmed at the Long Beach Pike. They filmed a scene right inside the Craze Maze which is the house of mirrors. The movie has great film footage of the Cyclone Racer! You'll also see a short film clip of laughing Sal and laughing Sam on the Laff In The Dark fun house!

The actors are,

: Cameron Mitchell

: Anne Bancroft

: Lee J Cobb

: Raymond Burr

: Charlotte Austin

Loved riding this old wooden "rickety" coaster right out over the ocean in Long Beach !

[TL250Rider]

Long Beach California. We need the Cyclone Racer back You were suppose to rebuild it.

This must be done.

[CaliforniaGirl1115]

Thanks for this! I rode this coaster many times and it was AWESOME and really scary!! :)

lol

[churchillstevester1]

Corny, but I like it. That is pure slapstick comedy.

[sddweller]

Really good stunts. You won't find any park willing to run one car on a track followed by the rest of the train - even if it's filled with dummies or one hanging off the back end - impressive.

Is there ANY on ride footage of the Cyclone Racer (POV)? Either side of the ride would be fantastic. I was a small kid when the ride closed. I would have LOVED to go on it!

[cannibalonXthedead]

@koasterkav if you do some research and find movies that featured this ride, some could have had POV. the 1957 movie "Jeanne Eagles" features some pov as someone said before.

[TL250Rider]

This fantastic Thank you

God Bless

this clip is so cool, just everything about it. I am no SPX person, but for 1930's this is damn awesome. Love the roller coaster and cyclone too! Just a gem this is for sure!

We don't need more rides like Terminator built at Six Flags. We need more independant engineers who make a couple woodies for various local parks. I'm tired of chain amusement parks in the West Coast. It would be awesome if more entrepeneurs step up to the plate and make nice little fun centers with fun wooden roller coasters; I'll consider saving enough money and investing it so I could build a park that had perhaps just a cyclone racer clone as well as maybe one more woodie. Some day...

I've never seen I Love Lucy's Merman and Frawley so young looking!

[chucknungester]

Thank you swampfoxer for this find. I really hope the ride could be rebuilt someday. Moreys or something would be idea and in its WICKED not tamed state.

There is one shot in the movie Its a mad mad mad mad world of Cyclone Racer, You basically have to pause the movie but its near the end in the chase scene and shown from a distance. Beautifull.

[southpuddle]

I really don't understand how they got some of those shots unless they actually did a lot of those stunts for real... great vid!

[just1967me]

Yesterday, I was watching TCM and there was a roller coaster featured in the background of a movie called "Jeanne Eagels". I think it was this coaster. Does anyone know for sure? I'm just curious!

[swampfoxer]

Yes, you are correct. Jeanne Eagles came out in 1957 and there are some really good Cyclone Racer shots in that movie. Some POV as well.

[denny906]

I used to ride the Cyclone Racer as a teen until it was demolished after Labor Day in 1968. I ditched school that day and watched it being demolished. It was a sad day.

[spiraldenny]

At the Long Beach Clothing Store by the pike, they have the last remaining cart for that ride. I touched it :)

[J3ffurious]

LOL that is so funny. I wish that was real!

[thesethingz]

This HI-LARIOUS!!  LOL

[mariosupersluggers98]

gosh this is hillarious!!!

[Coaster105]

Lol early proto type of X- multi dimensional coaster at 3:45

[Petpatrol2]

XDDD Okay, that is hysterical!

[kennywoodjoe]

The man sliding down the first hill @ 1:21 must be real since the track supports are covered, that looks like fun!

[kennywoodjoe]

LOL @ 3:04. Hey, how did that old lady keep her hat on when she was riding the rollercoaster? When's the last time you've seen an old lady with a hat & umbrella riding a rollercoaster? :-D

[kennywoodjoe]

If Beavis & Butthead watched this video they would say "These special effects suck!". LOL! :-D)) Cool video, thanks for posting!

[khstechie]
