Michael
Linton sent a link to his original music called, "Double Cyclone". The
sounds will take you back to the "good old days" of the Pike.
(Scroll down until you get to Selected Compositions and then pick #1

"The Cyclone
Racer closed in 1968. At one time, it was the largest and fastest
coaster in the U.S. It was called the racer because there were
two trains on two separate tracks that raced one another from
start to finish.
Webmaster Note: They had a height requirement, but my
brother was able to hide me so I could ride it. I used to hate
it when I was on the ride, but as soon as I got off, I wanted
to go on it again!

3. For You Computer Gamers
- Mark Paul Sebar has a game on the "Cyclone Racer"
and the Pike at the Atari site where visitors can download a
free demo of rct3 to check it out. Then if they decide to get
the game they can go to the NuPike too.
Here is the direct link to
the nupike webpage.

By the way I have updated today my rct3 rides webpage which lists
all known existing rides and today at the bottom, 13 new rides
that will be out in June in their new add-on pack.
Here is the page link. http://sebar.com/rct3/rct3rides.html
These links would be a great resource for those who want to visit
my nupike model and also experience many new parks and rides.
RCT3 won the best game of 2004 for strategy.
See
some photos from game
P.S. A note from
the webmaster - I am not a gamer - please let me know if you
try the above games.
