The Cyclone Bay themed area is the last "land" that you can reach on your circle tour of the park WITHOUT climbing a big hill. So enjoy it! Your feet will start to get sore once you leave this place! To teens and adults, the huge attraction here is the Deja Vu boomerang-style roller coaster. (That just means that it doesn't complete a full circle during the course of the ride. It stops midway at a "dead end" and then repeats the same course, this time going BACKWARDS.)
Well, this is another one I wasn't brave enough to try! It's so TALL! The "dead end" towers soar 200 feet above the ground! Plus, there's a 90-degree first drop! Not for me, I don't think! But many people LOVE this ride. It loops around the track at 65mph, the riders hanging in suspended cars. Whoa! I DO enjoy it as a piece of eye candy. What a fun ride to photograph!
There's another roller coaster in Cyclone Bay that I HAVE been on, the traditional-looking wooden coaster, the Psyclone. I screamed going down the first hill, after which the rest seemed tame. I will say, though, that this ride has a drawback. It's very bumpy and jostly. Kids over 54 inches tall may ride it.
There's a water ride in Cyclone Bay, too--the Arrowhead Splashdown. If you try it, you'll climb into a "jet boat," ascend up the Samurai Summit hillside, and then wind around on that scenic hill. At the end, you'll take a 57-foot plunge--and just might get splashed!
At Cyclone Bay, the 6 Flags people hope you'll spend some more of your hard-earned cash, as evidenced by all the extra-fee attractions in that area! Coming into Cyclone Bay from the Movie District, you'll pass through a section of carnival games. You can toss a ball, throw a dart, etc., to try to win a prize. (They have some cute stuffed animals as prizes that your kids--or your girlfriend--will love.) If you're feeling wealthy AND adventuresome, you can try the expensive "Dive Devil," where you'll plop down over $25 to enjoy a skydiving-type experience. (The exact per-person price varies on how many people in your group will be going on the ride. You can ride alone or have up to two other people with you.) You'll get into a harness at the top of a tall structure, then jump out into thin air, where you'll have a free-fall experience--traveling around 60mph as all four limbs wave in the breeze! Still haven't spent enough? Try the Cyclone Bay 500, a go-cart ride. Actually, though, the fee for this falls into the "reasonable" range at $6, though that's only for one set of laps.
