This game is similiar to my Comet but with more toys. But the game is less fun due to too many clear ramps that obscure the playfield. The Ferris wheel is a really nice toy as well as the backglass wheel. Long loop shots are also fun. Shots are harder to make than Comet due the the busier playfield. A good sequel but I'll keep my Comet and save over $800.

Played this when it first came out in 1988 and I have again played it in 2011. It was a machine that kept me coming back for more back when it was new and it still does today. Lots of great shots to make "Ride the Cyclone!"

I agree with sealclubber, the wavy ramps really slow the ball and it will get you by being very fast if you hit the center posts. The PF layout is different, However I like those things about the machine. The shots are hard which keeps me there and the theme is fun.

Arguably the BEST one ball game of the "modern" era. Simply perfect execution of theme, really sets the amusement park atmosphere well with music, speech calls and artwork/toys.
This is the perfect game to fire up when you just got off work, are tired and want a fun game that's not going to require a TZ level of immersion.

This was my favorite game growing up and I now have it in my collection. There is amazing theming here. Two roller coaster ramps, a ferris wheel, a spook house, and a mystery wheel all make the game exciting. The sounds and music add to the excitement and are memorable. Scoring is fair and balanced and ball flow is fast. My only complaint is that it is not as challenging or as deep as the newer pins that were released five years later. Oh well...

This was one of the machines I got to unpack right from the box while an Arcade Tech. I was also the first one to play it once it was assembled. The overall theme and play reminded me a lot of Comet with some noteable differences.
Overall, it was one of those games that kept me interested for a while but it kind of lost me after a while. I still think it's a fun game, but it doesn't have that captivating feature that some do.

This is one I played as a child. My brother more than me but I still plugged quite a few quarters into this. I love the voice samples, "Hey you with the face!" is just classic. A little dated now but still great fun to play. The spook house is nice but does tend to bounce the ball straight down the drain if you're not careful.

This is an absolutely fantastic pin. It is also next on my hit list so look out world. I have no doubt it will be a keeper.
