Aaaaand I just noticed that your original comment was a reply to someone bringing up the Lakeside Cyclone... I thought that you thought that Twister III and Cyclone were the same ride (sorry lol). Naturally I'd make an ass of myself with my first comment on Lemmy 😂

    Same city, but different coaster. The coaster you linked Cyclone at Lakeside Amusement Park, which is a separate location from Elitch Gardens. I've had the chance to ride both Cyclone and Twister II, and I definitely preferred Cyclone. Not much airtime, but it has a few fun drops and some amazing laterals. Although the neighborhood isn't the nicest, the park itself is a very scenic location surrounded by a little lake and several vintage flatrides.

    (Plus, Lakeside also features a rare Miler Manufacturing steel wild-mouse coaster from the 50s. It has some great little bunny hills that are absolutely insane with the ride's lack of restraints.)
