WOW! Talk about classic, precious memories. It's because of the Cyclone I don't like rollercoasters to this day. lol

Can't blame Disney. Disneyland was built with the intention of being what these old parks were not: Clean and safe. The Pike was run for profit, little was ever put back into it, less was done to make it attractive to families--I remember going as a kid in the sixties and even then it seemed worn and dirty. Today, of course, Disney's level of clean and safe has taken on a rather sinister image as suggestive of what's wrong with the US, but still, the Pike killed itself.

The Cyclone Racer was demolished the next year: 1968! A coincidence??!! LOL

We can all thank Good-Ole Walt Disney for the demise of this Great-Park and Good-Ole POP to boot! POP Closed in the fall of 67, than ole Disney worked on killing off the Pike by destroying the Cyclone Racer!
As the ole BOXING saying goes: "Kill The Body And The Head Will Die"! I'm sure you get what I mean??!! Enough said...

My Bad. I confused my dried up corpse stories! But I still enjoyed The Pike as a kid! The TV show was the Six Million Dollar Man.

@MrBeach Um, sorry, but--you're wrong. It wasn't an "Egyptian Mummy" but a criminal from Oklahoma named Elmer McCurdy. Google him and "Pike" and you'll read the story of how his body was inadvertently discovered at The Pike by a TV show film crew in December 1976 and that his body was returned to Oklahoma for burial in April 1977. No Egyptian mummy.

Great memories, to bad it died a slow death, with the navy pulling out, Disneyland and bigger attractions took over. It was a fun ride while it lasted...

I loved going to The Pike as a kid in the late 60's early 70's. It was kinda seedy back then with a whole bunch sailors on shore leave, the tattoo parlors, peep show theaters, pawn shops, and adult movie theaters on Ocean Blvd. My dad just steered me towards the weird and fun attractions like the arcades,fun house, house of mirrors, and the wax museum, (where they eventually discovered a real Egyptian mummy when they were closing it down, that was recently returned to the Egyptian Government).
