Wicked Cyclone is an RMC recreation of the old wooden Cyclone coaster that is one of the best rides you’ll have at a park. It is loosely themed to storm chasers and has a great twisting layout that delivers banked turns, stalls, outward hills, and a steep and thrilling first drop that dictates the pace of the entire ride. It is relentless from start to finish with many hills ejecting you from your seat. I recommend riding in the front and back seats to get the best experiences. The lap bar is all that’s needed. This ride is deserving of its praise!

It was pretty fun, and it got old after i rode it 7 times in a row in the front seat. It has a great first drop, and the smoothness is awesome. When you reach the first roll, it feels really good. A lot of the time you are ejected from your seat because of the force of the ride. It's one of my favorites and you should really try it.

Sure, its a middle of the road RMC (literally #8/15 in my RMC ranking), but a middle of the road RMC is still in my top 25. No moment stands out in my mind, but most of them are solid. A few slow spot...

Sure, its a middle of the road RMC (literally #8/15 in my RMC ranking), but a middle of the road RMC is still in my top 25. No moment stands out in my mind, but most of them are solid. A few slow spots, especially from my first ride which was at park open, but it speeds up later in the day.

The layout is amazing, airtime is great. I got some great night rides this year where it was running incredible, so good I like it better then Steel Vengeance, but I also got some slow morning rides ...

The layout is amazing, airtime is great. I got some great night rides this year where it was running incredible, so good I like it better then Steel Vengeance, but I also got some slow morning rides this year too. The average experience is great though.

The best ride at this park and it feels so underrated. With superman being so huge people look and feel like that had to be the best ride in the park. The first time I rode this it was a huge wow. ...

The best ride at this park and it feels so underrated. With superman being so huge people look and feel like that had to be the best ride in the park. The first time I rode this it was a huge wow. Didn't know anything about rmc or hybrids but I knew this was amazing and it shouldn't feel like this for what appears to be a tame wooden coaster frame. Inversions are awesome. Drop is awesome. Electors awesome. Really amazing ride. No down side other than lines at times.

Un petit RMC qui ne fait pas trop de bruit et pourtant c'est déjà du très bon pour un RMC de 2015. Le layout est génial avec pleins d'éjectors de partout, des inversions super amusantes et des moments...

Un petit RMC qui ne fait pas trop de bruit et pourtant c'est déjà du très bon pour un RMC de 2015. Le layout est génial avec pleins d'éjectors de partout, des inversions super amusantes et des moments surprenants lorsqu'on ne connaît pas le layout au début. On sent quand même le côté old school du truc par la présence de certains temps morts dans 2-3 virages où il ne se passe pas grand chose mais ce n'est pas bien grave car l'ensemble reste dans le haut du panier selon moi.

Wicked Cyclone has so much going on in such a seemingly small frame. It's not in my top 5 RMC's on any standard measure, and yet, I had feels and thrills I've never experienced on any RMC (or any coaster for that matter.) The dimensions of WC are modest, but the ride seemingly goes on and on...and there isn't a dull moment that I can recall. Pacing was great, lots of elements, layout is very nicely done. Only got on it once due to weather...really want to try this one again.

Wicked Cyclone was a solid ride and what struck me the most was how much it was trying to eject me out of my seat. It just doesn’t feel anywhere near as good as other RMCs I’ve been on. I much prefer ...

Wicked Cyclone was a solid ride and what struck me the most was how much it was trying to eject me out of my seat. It just doesn’t feel anywhere near as good as other RMCs I’ve been on. I much prefer Wildcat’s Revenge, Iron Gwazi, Arie Force One, Lightning Rod, and Hakugei to this. It sort of felt a bit too forced or crazy but lacked something in terms of timing.

An absolutely incredible ride. One of the smoothest rides I've ever ridden. The ride has great pacing, is very smooth with incredible inversions and a great first drop. It even has great theming too, really committing to the storm theme. Overall, this ride is perfect and should incredibly fun ride.

Awesome little RMC! I loved the variety of airtime moments, and the stall is just incredible. However, the other inversions I would prefer the ride without, hence "Inversions" as both a pro and a con. Some of the third lap took me out of it and left me bored, while other moments of it yanked me right back in. Amazing first half, mixed bag second half.

RMC did a great job filling in the ride area with as many elements as possible. I really love how even though this is a smaller ride it is long. However, the one thing missing from Wicked Cyclone is a true stand-out element for me. It's great but not one of the very best RMCs.

I have ridden this coaster more times than I can count, and Wicked Cyclone still manages to always impress me. If I could add more pros, I would. The train manages to keep the speed perfectly, it feels as if I am flying straight through the tracks. Even though the drop is pretty short (considering this is only 109 feet tall) it still packs a punch. You can easily tell that you are plummeting towards the Earth at a 78° angle, and you can feel it too. The airtime is literally death ejector. If I’m being honest, you can compare it to the airtime on El Toro, and that is saying something. The inversions on Wicked is outstanding. It’s whips you threw the track and it has a lot of hang time, it’s perfect. This coaster has a place in my heart, and always will.

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...

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.

Still prefer superman for the large airtimes and strong positives but wicked cyclone is honestly more fun! This ride never gets old, just one element after another. Amazing ride and can see why others...

SFNE being my home park, I came in knowing a decent amount about the park as I had already been there 2 times. This coaster gets me everytime and I rode around 4 times throughout the day. I would say that it is tied between 1st or 2nd in the whole park. The second half of the layout absolutely whips you around and you get so much airtime on some of the hills.

I ride this all the time with it being at my home park and the first drop in the back is so incredible every single time. Tons of amazing airtime moments, and most of my rides do not let up on the last lap and it finishes strong enough.

This ride’s a fantastic ride that is the perfect fit for it’s park. It is a really, really good ride. The airtime is really strong. And this isn’t something I can say about a lot of RMCs, but I don’t get stapled easily on this ride. Even on the brakerun I don’t feel the lap bar pushing down on my legs unlike a vast majority of the other RMCs I’ve done. But the ejector is really strong on this ride. The drop, off-axis speed hill, AMAZING double down, camelback, the little bunny hills in the layout, and the strongest moment, the outerbank. It’s also a very smooth ride. I don’t even think the pacing is that bad. It honestly helps with the inversions for crazy hangtime. The only thing I have to say is that those little turn things don’t do a whole lot for me, but even so, it is still an amazing ride for me. Definitely one of the better RMCs.

All around a fantastic RMC. Very rerideable and has a superb layout filled with awesome ejector and hangtime. It was also butter smooth. It was hard to choose only 3 pros because I could name at least...

All around a fantastic RMC. Very rerideable and has a superb layout filled with awesome ejector and hangtime. It was also butter smooth. It was hard to choose only 3 pros because I could name at least 5. This is the best ride at the park, due to Superman's uncomfortable restraints holding it back.

Some RMCs apparently need a little time to warm up. My first two rides, in row 2, were lots of fun, but not quite mind-blowing. My car 5 ride later in the day, however, was. The ejector airtime is rel...

Some RMCs apparently need a little time to warm up. My first two rides, in row 2, were lots of fun, but not quite mind-blowing. My car 5 ride later in the day, however, was. The ejector airtime is relentless, the zero-g rolls are blissfully floaty, and the stall is fun too. I love the off-axis moments of airtime especially. The drop was easily the best towards the back.

Like many RMCs it took a while to warm up but I’ll never judge a coaster after one ride. It’s another banger from RMC but I have to admit it’s my lowest rating from the manufacturer (still great). It’...

Like many RMCs it took a while to warm up but I’ll never judge a coaster after one ride. It’s another banger from RMC but I have to admit it’s my lowest rating from the manufacturer (still great). It’s also literally the smoothest ride I’ve ever been on it’s almost unbelievable

Wicked Cyclone is an amazing RMC. The airtime is extremely strong and the inversions are really fun and if you sit in the back row. The first inversion is very snappy. The hangtime on this ride is also amazing and the pacing honestly is really good. Wicked Cyclone is fantastic and the best coaster at Six Flags New England and a top 15 coaster for me overall.

Une petite tuerie. Ce n’est pourtant pas le RMC dont on entend le plus parler mais le layout est juste excellent. Il se hisse pour moi dans le haut du panier des rides du constructeur aux côté des mastodontes LR/SV/IG/Zadra malgré qu’il soit deux fois moins grand qu’eux ! J’avais entendu que la layout « se mourrait » sur la fin mais que nenni, pour moi il envoie de bout en bout, de la drop qui arrache aux Heartline Roll au ras du sol dans les structures !

Incredible RMC! Super smooth with many many ejector moments, you're out of your seat 90% of the time from hills or inversions, the best ride at SFNE. I think SteVe is a little better but this one is p...

Incredible RMC! Super smooth with many many ejector moments, you're out of your seat 90% of the time from hills or inversions, the best ride at SFNE. I think SteVe is a little better but this one is paced so well and is jam packed, riding in the front may be better for the inversions but the back creates more airtime especially with the first drop and any hills
