The classic Texas Tornado roller coaster met it's fate when the parks owners closed their Frontierland Western theme park in Morecambe England at the end of the 1999 season. This quaint little seaside amusement park had been in existence since the 1930's.

  • It managed alright for over 60 years. How could they tear these rides down? It breaks my heart.

  • Holds a special place in my heart this coaster does - It was my first experience of a roller coaster and I've been hooked ever since - What I wouldn't give to ride this one again

  • @Gobshite1979 This ride was originally called the Cyclone and was designed by the great coaster designer Harry Traver. It had some of Traver's classic curving bends, but not to the extent of some of his bigger coasters.

  • its now a shame is morecambe, i see it every day now, but before i moved here i used to come and stay back in the 80s, it was well busy and very popular back then wish i could return to then see those lights too .it will be missed .

  • This was my first coaster in the late seventies stayed with me to this day, frightened the pants off me, went back a few years ago to nothing but a wasteland, sadly missed.

  • the cars were on the wrong side of the street
