Psyclone

Six Flags Magic Mountain

Psyclone at Six Flags Magic Mountain is a slighty modified clone of the original Cyclone wooden coaster at Coney Island's Astroland. The fan turns in this version vary from the original since they're heavily banked to reduce wear. Psyclone begins with 183-foot dark tunnel that leads to the nine-story lift hill. The coaster's first drop is a steep 53-degrees and falls eight stories. The nearly two minute ride covers a total of eleven hills and five sweeping, high-speed banked turns. Psyclone is also the only wooden coaster in the world to use trains designed by B&M.
