Coney Island Cyclone

The Coney Island Cyclone is a wooden roller coaster that opened in 1927 and is a New York City designated landmark located in Coney Island. Photographs of the Cyclone, its entrance sign, and the adjacent boardwalk are frequently shared online and repurposed in memes and nostalgic posts about New York summers. The ride and its imagery are commonly used as visual shorthand for classic Brooklyn amusement-culture references. The Cyclone remains an active attraction at Luna Park and is regularly photographed by visitors.
