Williams Grove Cyclone

This is a video of the now defunct Williams Grove Cyclone. I got it off of www.canobiefan.com The Cyclone was the last operating coaster in the world built by Oscar Bitler. The Cyclone was constructed in 1933 as the Zipper. When the park purchased the trains of the Palisades Park Cylcone, the name was changed accordingly. In 1995, the coaster caught fire and part collapsed in 1996. The park spent $500,000 refurbishing the coaster. It closed in 2006 and still remains standing.

This was the only coaster I ever rode where I thought I was going to die! There was one spot that had an insane drop towards the end that, from the riders perspective, looked like the end of the track. A great coaster and a great park...very sad both are gone.
