Long Beach council is looking into bring back the Cyclone


 
In 1907, Long Beach got its first roller coaster, followed in 1915 with the opening of the Jackrabbit Racer near the foot of Cedar Avenue adjacent to the area known as Silver Spray Pier. The roller coaster extended over the ocean.
The ride was called “racer” because there were two cars on two separate tracks that raced each other. It is estimated that by the time the Cyclone Racer was closed in 1968, more than 30 million had taken rides on it.

So if they build it will they come, well they estimated it would take $30 million to build and would bring $40 million per year in ticket receipts. Well I know I would like to ride it, wooden rollercoasters are far much better to ride.
