 One of the best-known historic coasters, the Cyclone Racer was built in 1930 to replace the Jack Rabbit Racer.The Cyclone Racer was a dual-track (two trains could launch side by side at the same time), racing wooden roller coaster, the brain child of Fred Church and built by Harry Traver.To increase thrill, the new coaster was built on pilings over the ocean, several hundred feet beyond the shore.
