Psyclone is a wooden roller coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain. Opened in 1991, it is patterned after the legendary Coney Island Cyclone. The Psyclone features 11 hills, 5 high-speed banked turns, and a 183-foot long pitch black tunnel. It also has the only wooden roller coaster trains ever built by Bolliger & Mabillard.
Although Psyclone is a longtime member of the Magic Mountain coaster family, it has recently become somewhat of a black sheep. The ride is extremely bumpy and jerky, and the trains tend to make a squealing noise when going through curves.
