Cyclone-Chasers

Please, hold your applause.  But yes, we rode the Cyclone.  (I actually had seniority, as I had been on the Cyclone previously with Sarni).  However, this was my first ride since it has been renovated (because really, isn't that what you want to hear about a roller coaster before you get on it?  that it has been renovated?)

Also, please note the symbol on the green sign.  That means that the Cyclone, a wooden roller coaster first built in 1927, is a New York City landmark that was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.  Again, incredibly encouraging things to hear before an impending roller coaster ride.

Unfortunately, Dell, Cricket, Iris and I all suffered sore necks and backs the next day.  I suspect it's because riding a roller coaster is like experiencing the following dichotomy.

To the outside world, you look like this:

But in your mind, the world actually feels like this:
