I love this ride. It is so unique that the supports are steel, and the track is wood, giving it the effect of a wood coaster.

It's a shame that it's gone. A little rough though.

This ride is one of the great losses of the coaster world. Featuring a great first drop and a pair of awesome helixes, this ride was a lesson in thrilling coaster design. I wish this ride had been saved by a benefactor because it truly deserved a second life in a more successful park.

Poor Hurricane... the first CCI to die.
It wasnt a bad ride, it just wasnt good.

I was on the the last public ride ever (and I know it was the last one because, well, the train got stuck on the lifthill.. and we got walked down it! the next day the park was closed and the train was still sitting on the lift [this was the last day of the public season])
