The story of Wicked Cyclone
Before Wicked Cyclone, this Agawam corner belonged to Cyclone, a wooden coaster that served the park from 1983 until 2014. Its old name was not simply retired; it was taken into the workshop and returned with a sterner frame and a livelier course. en.wikipedia.org
After Cyclone’s closing in July 2014, work began quickly. Reports from the announcement described the wooden track being stripped away, with much of the support structure left to be reinforced for the new I-Box steel track. coaster101.com
Rocky Mountain Construction’s finished ride kept the spirit of the former landmark while changing its manners completely. The new machine combined wood and steel, measured 109 feet high, reached 55 mph, and threaded three inversions into its compact New England course. rockymtnconstruction.com· multivu.com
Wicked Cyclone opened on May 24, 2015, and soon earned notice beyond Massachusetts. In Amusement Today’s 2015 Golden Ticket Awards, it placed second among new amusement-park attractions, a handsome reception for a ride born from an older local favorite. coasterpedia.net· goldenticketawards.com
