The National Register of Historic Places isn't just places. It is a list of districts, buildings, and other sites, structures, and objects deemed worthy of
preservation. It includes battlefields and theaters, churches and
bridges and fountains. It probably does not include a lot of roller
coasters!
The
Cyclone was opened in New York City on this date in 1927, so it is 89
years old and heading for his centennial! With a 2,640-foot-long
track, 6 fan turns, 12 drops – one of them a 85-foot drop! – the
wooden roller coaster requires a lot of money for upkeep.

Right now, it is run by Luna Park - and it's featured in a Beyonce music video!
