Cyclone turns 85.

The Cyclone, Coney Island’s iconic wooden roller coaster, is 85 this year, having opened June 26, 1927. The first-ever flight from the West Coast to Hawaii was the same day. A few weeks later, Ty Cobb had his 4,000th career hit and Charles Lindbergh began a national tour to commemorate his solo trans-Atlantic flight, which he had completed earlier in the year.
