81 Years Without A Death . . .

. . . but whiplash is a different matter:

Coney Island’s famed Cyclone roller coaster isn’t just terrifying – it’s downright dangerous.

There were at least seven incidents last summer in which riders suffered serious back and neck injuries, records show.

At least two lawsuits stemming from the incidents have been filed, including one demanding $1 million. But the ride’s operator, Carole Albert, has quietly worked to settle the suits, insisting on ironclad confidentiality agreements, a source said.

In the lawsuit discussions, lawyers for Albert’s company, Astroland Inc., admitted the problems were caused because the ride made its first 85-foot drop with too much speed, the source said.
