"Ride the American Legend" Come on down and take a ride on the roller coaster that's been thrilling New Yorkers for over 80 years!
Every roller coaster enthusiast around the world has heard of, has ridden or hopes to ride The Cyclone. This historic roller coaster graces virtually every top roller coaster list and publication. Roller coasters may have gotten bigger and faster, but they have not gotten any better than The Cyclone. Time Magazine quoted Charles Lindbergh as saying that a ride on the Cyclone was more thrilling than his historic first solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean. Emilio Franco, a mute since birth, regained his voice on the Cyclone, uttering his first words ever -- I feel sick! In April 2001, singer Nikki Lauren became the first person ever to present a live musical performance in the Cyclone's historic loading station.
An official New York City Landmark since July 12, 1988, Cyclone was listed in the New York State Register of Historic Places on June 31, 1991. National Register designation followed, on June 26, 1991.

Cyclone Sidr swept through southwestern Bangladesh on Novenber 16, destroying homes, crops and wildlife. The zinc roofs and wooden walls of many homes in villages throughout the worst-hit Khulna and Barisal divisions were unable to withstand the winds that hit on November 16, and rice fields were destroyed for a third time after floods earlier this year as rivers overflowed their banks. Official death toll figures stand at 2,000, although the Red Cross estimates that up to 10,000 may have perished in the storm. Relief efforts have been unable to reach some rural districts, hampered by destroyed roads and lack of information. Barisal, Bangladesh. Novenber 18, 2007.

The Coney Island Cyclone - Coney Island, Brooklyn, NY
As of Sunday, September 7 2008, the Cyclone has seen its last rider when Astroland closed for the final time of it's storied lifetime.
The success of 1925's Thunderbolt and 1926's Tornado led Jack and Irving Rosenthal to buy land at the intersection of Surf Avenue and West 10th Street for a coaster of their own. With a $100,000 investment, they hired Vernan Keenan to design a new coaster. A man named Harry C. Baker supervised the construction, which was done by area companies including National Bridge Company (which supplied the steel) and Cross, Austin, & Ireland (which supplied the lumber). The final cost of the Cyclone has been reported to be around $146,000 to $175,000. When the Cyclone opened on June 26, 1927, a ride cost only twenty-five cents[4] compared to the $8 in the 2009 Season.
In 1935, the Rosenthals took over management of Palisades Park. The Cyclone was put under the supervision of Christopher Feucht, a Coney Island veteran who had built a ride called Drop the Dips in 1907, and then doing minor retracking work on the Cyclone. The ride continued to be extremely popular; one of its many stories is from 1948, when a coal miner with aphonia visited Coney Island. According to legend, he had not spoken in years but screamed while going down the Cyclone's first drop, saying "I feel sick" as his train returned to the station. He prompty fainted after realizing he had just spoken.

Survivors with harrowing tales of villages smashed by cyclone Nargis are paddling wooden boats to the Myanmar town of Bogalay to find whole streets destroyed and food and water scarce. Almost no aid has reached one of the hardest-hit towns in the Irrawaddy delta of around 50,000 inhabitants, where the storm tore rice mills apart and washed away fishing boats.

The brand of Cyclone has become synonymous with this kind of fence in Australia. Fencing with this shape is just called 'cyclone fencing' or a 'cyclone fence.' Maybe it's not just Australian......Also called a chain-link fence apparently (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chain-link_fencing) but Cyclone seems to be an Australian brand.
