Cyclone, 1936.

The Cyclone is an iconic Brooklyn landmark. It was built in 1927 by Harry C. Baker and Vernon Keenan. In the mid-19th century, Coney Island was a seaside getaway for the upper middle class. By the turn of the century, Coney Island was the most popular amusement park in the world, thanks in part to popular attractions (like the Cyclone) and the closeness of Coney Island for New Yorkers compared to farther away beaches. The Cyclone is the last remaining attraction from that period, and in 1991 it was listed on the New York City Register of Historic Places.
