Lakeside Cyclone closed without target for reopening

The Cyclone, Lakeside's iconic ride, has been shut down — perhaps for the whole summer. According to Connie Moore, Lakeside's spokeswoman, the park attempted to go beyond the coaster's regular winter maintenance "to get it in really good shape for its 70th birthday," which is next summer. She said the extra sprucing-up fell behind schedule, taking the ride out of service indefinitely.
