Psyclone was added to Cyclone Bay in 1991 and became the centerpiece of that area.  Before the ride opened, Cyclone Bay was one of the most deserted areas in the park because it did not contain a major thrill ride.  With the addition of Psyclone, the park hoped to change this.

Psyclone, designed by Curtis D. Summers and The Dinn Corporation, is a replica of the classic Coney Island Cyclone located in New York.  The ride stands 95-feet in the air and features a top speed of 50 MPH, and a layout that spans 2,640-feet in length.

Psyclone is the park's second wooden coaster.  Although the ride has an interesting layout, it runs rough and and does not feature any airtime due to excessive trim brakes.

The ride's rolling stock is provided by Bolliger & Mabillard - this was their first and only attempt at designing wooden coaster trains.  During Fright Fest, two of the ride's trains are moved to Colossus so the park can run one side backwards.

Each winter, pieces of the ride are rehabbed, which helps to reduce the roughness.  The first drop, which was recently modified, is now very smooth.

Although Psyclone may not be a fan favorite, it still succeeded in drawing crowds to Cyclone Bay.
