Wicked Cyclone is a steel hybrid roller coaster at Six Flags New England in Agawam, Massachusetts, USA. It is a steel conversion of the former Cyclone wooden roller coaster, which closed in July 2014.[1] The attraction features multiple inversions and overbanked turns. The conversion was carried out by Rocky Mountain Construction. It is the first hybrid coaster on the East Coast, and the only one to have a 200 degree zero-g stall and two zero-g rolls.
