The start of the Coney Island Cyclone roller coaster's long run opens with much anticipation and excitement.
Brooklyn, New York, United States | Coney Island
I could not find records of the Coney Island Cyclone opening on January 2, 1897. The Coney Island Cyclone, one of the most famous wooden roller coasters in the world, actually opened on June 26, 1927. If you’d like information on this notable event, I can provide that. However, no notable occurrences related to the Cyclone are recorded for January 2, 1897.
