The Violent Story of Crystal Beach Cyclone: An Infamous Defunct Wooden Coaster by Harry G. Traver

By the 1920s, Harry G. Traver was one of the most accomplished manufacturers in the theme park industry. However, it was his Cyclone coaster model that made a lasting impact on amusement parks.

This trio of coasters has become infamous for providing an overly intense ride experience, resulting in strained necks and other injuries. Yet, coaster enthusiasts to this day still wish they could have experienced the legendary Crystal Beach Cyclone.
