Facts: The Cyclone was an in-house built out-and-back coaster with a 4-5 car train painted yellow and red.  The structure was made of both wood and steel, but the roller coaster used steel track.  For a small roller coaster with perhaps a 40' lift, the Cyclone had a number of hills with surprising air-time.
  The coaster was put into storage in 1974 or 1975 as IDOT (Illinois Department of Transportation) need the land to expand a bridge on US Hwy 45.  Eventually the coaster was scrapped.
