TRIVIAL PURSUITS: What is the Most Popular Roller Coaster Name?
January 19, 2010 (PLANSPONSOR.com) - What is the name most frequently given to roller coasters throughout the history of amusement parks?
Reported by Nevin E. Adams
Answer:
Cyclone.
One of the earliest, and most famous, roller coasters ever built was the Coney Island Cyclone, opened in 1927 at Coney Island, New York. Through the decades, that coaster has inspired dozens of replicas and hundreds of other roller coasters throughout the world named Cyclone, or coasters with Cyclone as part of its name.
