Williams Grove - Cyclone

On-ride POV of the Williams Grove Cyclone in June 2004. The park, located in Mechanicsburg, PA, was closed this year, and is for sale. While many of the rides have been sold, the coaster still remains. But with the condition it was in that year, I'd be surprised if it ever runs again. Still, the park had some character with its older buidlings and very mature trees, and located along a creek.

WG was right out of some sci fi 60's movie, talk about cool. my family went there from 1940s on, and had relatives working there wheni was a kid in the 70s. i met coaster lovers down south that knew exactly where it was. mad it closed.. Penn. -was- full of great "mini" parks. my favorite other than the coaster and the little scarey dark chickenwire buildingwas the funhouse(probably not legal by today's insurance guidlines as it was pretty dangerous, you had to know where to step! txs for post.

This was probably the first coaster that I rode as a kid. Wonderful memories. Thanks for posting this. I didnt know the part was closed, but could assume so.

It's a unique coaster in that the return trip goes right under the outward track. I hope they're able to save it.
