What riders love
  • Another “turnaround” happens, this time containing an outward-banked airtime hill. You get ejected into the supports from the side.
  • And the airtimes are still dumbfounding even when you’ve already been on it because there’s so many that you aren’t even expecting some even though you can see the track ahead of you, I believe there’s 14 airtimes.
  • I love the off-axis moments of airtime especially.
  • The double down Into the ejector hill is probably my favorite ejector moment on any Rollercoaster I've rode so far.
  • Every hill really tries to throw you around and out of your seat.
  • Every single second is enjoyable and intense, and you are out of your seat almost the entire time!
  • My favorite part of the ride is the 200-degree zero-G stall, because you get insane hangtime right there.
  • 3 different rolls that all feel completely different given the speeds you take them at.
  • Made me love inversions, smoothest ride in the park, and a terrifying (but epic) drop.

Performance

Vs. other coasters at Six Flags New England

Classic design, good airtime although lacks a good drop but the 3 inversions/rolls-stall are awesome, slightly different each one of them.

Calin N.

I want the track to throw me out of my seat on purpose, and this does a very good job of that.

Limitless Park

It’s got the airtime, but it crawls through its final lap and features elements that are overly common compared to other RMCs.

Justin Lininger

This may sound crazy but I though the airtime was too strong on this ride to the point where it hurt my thighs.

Stephen Barr

Super smooth with many many ejector moments, you’re out of your seat 90% of the time from hills or inversions, the best ride at SFNE.

Keegan M.

If you’re riding in the back, you are catapulted out of your seat with some great ejector airtime.

XscreamThrills

Always reliable and smooth but sometimes the seat belt buckle gets stapled into your hips by the lap bar but it only occurs sometimes.

Gavin Leong

Wicked Cyclone is smooth as hell.

Limitless Park

Comfortable carts and restraints.

Maeve N.

It is one of the smoothest coasters out there, and although very thrilling, it was great for people less into roller coasters.

Matt K

It truly is a one of a kind experience from start to finish, delivering airtime that is so strong that it’s painful.

Bubble Gaming

An overbanked turn leans the train beyond sideways as it changes direction, and Wicked Cyclone puts a lot of intensity into that opening sequence.

Limitless Park

The best part of this ride or the Outward Airtime moments Because for at least most of the ride it’s Violent and very forceful.

Sean Matrai

The drop is shockingly powerful for only being 100 feet followed by a overbank that actually had me reliably graying out.

Noahidk

The most intense moment on the ride may be the double down followed immediately by a camelback hill.

Matt McIrvin

Every single second is enjoyable and intense, and you are out of your seat almost the entire time!

Tyler

Last time I rode this was a 95 degree day and there were no lines with the added benefit of Superman and Wicked Cyclone absolutely flying through their layouts.

Kenny H.

Wicked Cyclone is an elite, fast-paced, airtime-heavy ride sporting a layout with a wide variety of ways in which the train attempts to eject you out of your seat.

Anthony DeNight Jr.

A very long ride and while it does slow down a bit at the end, it still absolutely delivers as a great coaster.

Cooper Zimmerman

The only con I have is the ending is very slow, but the beginning makes up for it.

Christian Ortiz

I was honestly shocked by the shorter lines and fast moving queue with relatively quick ops who just clealy know how to operate RMC coasters (Busch Gardens, take notes).

Noahidk

But for some reason the wait time is short like never has a line over 10 minutes.

Xander Neagoe

Operations team was not on point today, loading slowly, but the ride was worth the moderate wait.

This is my favorite ride at my home park, I have easily ridden it 30+ times and it never has disappointed me.

Matthew Stokes, Captain Coaster review

This may sound crazy but I though the airtime was too strong on this ride to the point where it hurt my thighs.

Stephen Barr, Captain Coaster review

An amazing first drop that is definitely the best in the park and a layout that isn’t super intense in my opinion but is really really fun.

Finn V., Captain Coaster review

Wicked Cyclone takes almost every opportunity to lift you out of your seat.

Limitless Park, published review

The only con I have is the ending is very slow, but the beginning makes up for it.

Christian Ortiz, Captain Coaster review

On its own, and especially with its placement here in SFNE, it is absolutely a five star attraction and my former number one!
