Once upon a time, this was the greatest roller coaster on the planet. I thought it would never die. They may have demolished Astroworld, but I'll remember the Texas Cyclone forever.

Best roller coaster ever. Why? The wooden track and tightly formed track. This ride would throw you from one side of the car to the next and keep roughhousing you through every turn, climb and drop. Unlike steel roller coasters, which have a silky smooth ride, you really felt everything on this ride. It was nightmarishly awesome. Thank you so much for posting this video!! It brings back many happy memories.

The flex of the coaster was what made it special.

I rode both the original cyclone in Brooklyn and the old Texas Cyclone in its original form. The Texas cyclone is better in my opinion. It didn't have banked turns like the other clones and had very forceful laterals. In its original form it had four seat cars like the Brooklyn one with no seat dividers. Originally Astroworld was going to buy and move the one from Brooklyn back in the 70's but opted to build and bigger duplicate.

yep! Nothing beats the original Cyclone in Brooklyn NY. Since 1927 and it's still going strong! Not to say that the Texas Cyclone wasn't great! And they should never have demolished Astroworld. Before the park closed, people should have worked to get Astroworld, landmark protection so it could have continued to stand.
