𝐃𝐢𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 ...Does the 2008 videogame Grand Theft Auto IV feature a roller coaster called "The Screamer", with heavy resemblance to the Cyclone?

The only difference is that the sign on the side of the coaster says "Screamer".


𝐇𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲.


The Bandit (formerly Wild Wild West) from Movie Park Germany is one of the international replicas of "The Coney Island Cyclone?"


The Coney Island Cyclone (also known as the Cyclone) is a wooden roller coaster at Luna Park in Coney Island, Brooklyn, New York City.


The Bandit is a wooden roller coaster in the German amusement park Movie Park Germany.


The popularity of the Cyclone has inspired several replica coasters that share a similar (though not exact) layout (or a mirror version of it).


And The Bandit's layout is nearly identical, but Bandit is a larger and longer variation of the original Cyclone.


Until 2005, there were four replicas of the Cyclone at Six Flags parks and a few in other parks.


"Texas Cyclone" Six Flags AstroWorld - 6/12/1976.

"Georgia Cyclone" Six Flags Over Georgia - 3/1990.

"Psyclone" Six Flags Magic Mountain -3/23/1991.

"White Canyon" Yomiuriland - 4/9/1994.

"Viper" Six Flags Great America - 4/29/1995.

"Aska" Nara Dreamland - 1998.
