After nearly a year since first riding WiCy, as of writing this, it is still my #1. It truly is a one of a kind experience from start to finish, delivering airtime that is so strong that it’s painful. Some may criticize the restraints, but they don’t bother me. I’m small enough for the lap bar to be incapable of stapling me. The shin guards aren’t even noticeable during the ride. In the station, there’s fake newspaper articles about the cyclone the ride’s about. There’s also decent thematic elements incorporated into the ride, good for Six Flags standards. First drop is spectacular. Once reaching to the top of the ride, with flashback’s lift hill giving a scale for how high you are, you get whipped right down the drop in the back. This drop is one of the best for any coaster I’ve done. The zero g stall gives great hang time. You slowly roll into the inversion, stay for a little, then gradually roll out. To finish the “turnaround”, there’s a double down providing strong sustained ejector on both drops. Then comes possibly the best element, the sustained ejector hill. If it weren’t for El Toro, this would be my favorite airtime moment of any coaster. Another “turnaround” happens, this time containing an outward-banked airtime hill. You get ejected into the supports from the side. Then there’s 2 zero g rolls each containing a hint of hangtime and some more off axis airtime hills providing more sideways airtime. The ending continues the trend of ejector, with a hill and even the break run giving airtime. Wicked Cyclone is such a gem, there aren’t even dead spots. I will continue to have this as my #1 until something can be better than this masterpiece.
