My wife and I had the pleasure of riding Cyclops at Big Cheif last week. I knew the back seat was all that it was reported to be when I saw the sign stating you had to be 18 to ride in the back car, and the seat divider in the back seat with it's many layers of tape and all the padding virtually crushed out of it. My wife's got a bruise in the exact shape of that divider on her upper thigh.
This thing is the definition of ejector air as it is, with 5 cars. But the station has gates for 6 - like a normal CCI. The back set is roped off, and looks like it has been for a long time.
Does anyone know how long it ran, or if it ever did, with 6 cars? It's insane now. I would've loved to try it in the back of the longer train!

Cedar Point 2003, and it begins...
There's nothing wrong with Zeus! It's the probably best ride there. I really like the turn around - it feels like it's running faster than the first drop.
It's just that one moment on Cyclops. I've ridden a quite a few coasters, and I have to say that's the most intense air I've ever experienced.

Shame on you, Joe. 45 minutes and never been. I'm an hour and a half and only been twice... I was going to go again earlier this month, but never did :(
Anyways, coasteraddict, you don't need to be 18 to ride in the back seat anyways. The "sign" (unless they've updated it, which I doubt, so it's probably still sharpie-written text on the hand rails going into the station) is probably more of a scare tactic than anything. Maybe it was enforced when the 6th car was there, but I was never at Big Chief then.
Rideman - That's pretty much my take on those two, as well. "The Drop" on Cyclops is cool, but I still felt like something was missing, a ride!
Joe C - Make sure to stuff your pockets with cash, as the Dells will suck every cent from you. It's a serious tourist trap.
TrBiggar - They were enforcing that rule when I went earlier this month. I saw the ops make kids get out of the last car multiple times.

Actually, it's a professionally made sign back there. And I did watch them make a kid around 11 or 12 change seats. I think it may have more to do with your size. I can't see them checking I.D.'s.

I only live less then 45 min. from there, and believe it or not, I still haven't been !
I drove right past it on every trip to CP, MA, DP, IOA and just about anywhere else until June.
It will be very hard to pass from now on...
