Ride The Cyclone!

That's a quote from one of the best pinball machines ever, The Cyclone. Although, you had to "ride the ferris wheel" a hundred times first, or something. I was much better at Whirlwind, Earthshaker, and Funhouse.

Anyhow, this is also from the San Mateo County Fair. One nice thing about the midway is there are still many colors to utilize long after the natural ones in the sky have faded. The ride in the foreground, also called The Cyclone, is one of those rides that spins the rider on more than one axis. You will also see this one called The Tornado (more often) and something else I can't remember. Well, thanks for checking out this photonic smorgasbord!
