Cyclone

Cyclone is a pinball sequel to Comet, inspired by Chicago’s Riverview Amusement Park. Its standout feature is the Skill Shot, which challenges players to launch the ball into the 100K target.

The table includes a revolving mystery wheel in the backbox with outcomes ranging from Zilch to 200K, Extra Ball, and Special. A Ferris wheel on the playfield carries the ball during part of its rotation, while the main shots include Boomerang, Comet, Spookhouse, and Cyclone.

Cyclone is notable for not featuring multiball. Its carnival presentation includes a dragon-themed backbox design, carnival artwork on the cabinet, and a moving Ferris wheel depicting a young couple kissing.
