Manufacturer Pinfari
Type Steel

Zyklon was a compact steel roller coaster model range manufactured by Italian company Pinfari. Zyklon roller coasters are easy and quick to transport, assemble and dismantle and thus they are common with travelling showmen. Many have also become permanent attractions at amusement parks.

The Zyklon is very similar in structure and track layout to other portable Italian roller coasters, and as a result the "Zyklon" name is often used to refer to all roller coasters of this style.
