Postcard: Coney Island Cyclone
Posted on 23 October 2024
I have a large postcard collection and thought I’d share a few items. First in the series is the Coney Island Cyclone.
Opened to the public on June 26, 1927, the Coney Island Cyclone was a wooden roller coaster at Luna Park in the Coney Island neighborhood of Brooklyn in New York City. The Cyclone reached a maximum speed of 60 mph, has a total track length of 2,640 feet, and a maximum height of 85 ft. The roller coaster was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991. In August 2024, the coaster was shut down indefinitely after coming to a stop mid-ride.
