RMC_Hoodie Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 I found this on part of a "Coney Island" reel. Skip to 1:01. [youtu_be] [/youtu_be] A lot of it is footage from Coney Island itself, but the other wooden coaster before this one probably isn't. The other footage isn't mirrored, so I wonder if there was a fourth Cyclone which actually was a mirror image of the other three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT325 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Probably the Revere Beach Lightning. Glad I held on to my "Harry G. Travers: Legends Of Terror" book! Comes in handy. Plus, it's really freakin awesome. There were 3 of the models built.... that I knew of. I had never heard of a 4th mirrored version. Enlighten me!

RMC_Hoodie Posted September 11, 2017 Author Share Posted September 11, 2017 I never heard of one, either. I hoped that somebody here would know. But the Lightning wasn't mirrored. http://reverebeach.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/lightining-coaster.jpg But I should definitely get my hands on that book. Maybe next year.

Mr.Peabody Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 It's definitely one of the "Traver Triplets," but it's difficult to tell which one without more background detail. The only one I know of that has film of it running is the one at Crystal Beach. None of the triplets were mirrors, so I'm guessing that the footage was somehow mirrored.
