Experience & Ride Style
Unlike standard roller coasters, the Cyclonator delivers a unique "floaty" airtime sensation as the arm hits its peak 120-degree angle. Because seats face outwards, riders face the sky at the top of the arc and face the ground during the drops. It features comfortable over-the-shoulder restraints that lift slightly at the peak of the swing to enhance the feeling of weightlessness.
