Texas Cyclone was a wooden roller coaster at the defunct Six Flags AstroWorld in Houston, Texas. Designed by Don Rosser and William Cobb, it was manufactured by Frontier Construction Company and opened to the public on June 12, 1976. Well-known for its airtime, the roller coaster was 93 feet (28 m) tall, 3,180 feet (970 m) long, and had a ride time of two minutes and fifteen seconds. Texas Cyclone was modeled after the original Coney Island Cyclone, which AstroWorld had originally intended to purchase and move to their park before realizing the process would be too expensive.

  • Texas Cyclone in Six Flags AstroWorld (Houston, Texas, USA) war eine Holzachterbahn des Herstellers und den Konstrukteuren und William Cobb, die am 12. Juni 1976 eröffnete. Ihre letzten Runden fuhr sie am 30. Oktober 2005, bevor der Park geschlossen wurde. Zuerst wollte der Park den Cyclone von Coney Island aufkaufen und in ihren Park versetzen, da dieser zu jener Zeit in Gefahr schwebte, abgebaut zu werden. Dann beschloss AstroWorld William Cobb einzustellen um ein Spiegelbild des Cyclones zu designen und zu bauen. (de)
