No licence-clean photograph of Cyclone has crossed our desk yet, so the card runs house illustration for now — a placeholder, not a stand-in for the real ride. Send us your shot of it (structure-first, no park logos or mascots in frame) and if it's the one, your name goes on the card — permanent, printed, yours.
Submitting a photo means signing in first — the credit line only means something attached to an account.

The story of Cyclone
TOGO built Cyclone for Toshimaen in 1965, when the new steel coaster was described as the largest of its kind in Asia. It stood as an early achievement of Japan's home-grown amusement-ride industry. en.wikipedia.org· coasterpedia.net
The ride was a substantial circuit for its day, rising eighteen metres before sending its trains through a chain lift, a succession of hills, a tunnel and a broad helix. Its design offered speed and changing scenery without a single inversion. coasterpedia.net
For many years Cyclone formed part of Toshimaen's great collection of amusement rides in Mukouyama, where summer visitors moved between the gardens, water attractions and the steel track. coasterpedia.net· timeout.com
Cyclone closed on 31 August 2020 when Toshimaen shut permanently. The coaster was subsequently scrapped, while a section of its track was retained and displayed at the Warner Bros. Studio Tour Tokyo. coasterpedia.net· coasterpedia.net· travel.watch.impress.co.jp
