Lightning (Revere Beach)
Lightning was a wooden roller coaster that operated at Revere Beach in Revere, Massachusetts from 1927 until 1933.〔(RCDB listing for Lightning )〕 It was one of the infamous Giant Cyclone Safety Coasters which were constructed by noted roller coaster engineer Harry G. Traver in the mid-1920s (the rides were, in fact, anything but safe, and became known as the "terrifying triplets"〔(Harry G. Traver and the "Terrifying Triplets" ) ''Designboom''.〕). Lightning was the only Giant Cyclone Safety Coaster not to bear the "Cyclone" name, as a roller coaster named Cyclone already existed at Revere Beach when Lightning was constructed in 1927.〔 The other two members of this group of coasters included the Crystal Beach Cyclone〔〔(RCDB listing for Crystal Beach Cyclone )〕 and the Palisades Park Cyclone〔〔(RCDB listing for Palisades Park Cyclone )〕 (A fourth Traver roller coaster named Zip had a similar—but smaller—design and was installed at Oaks Amusement Park in Portland, Oregon).〔〔(RCDB listing for Zip )〕
==Ride layout and structure==
Although the precise dimensions of Lightning are not reported, its common design heritage with the Crystal Beach Cyclone suggests that these coasters share many technical specifications, such as heights around , many steeply-banked turns and a ground-level figure 8 track.〔 In fact, there was no truly straight track apart from the station.〔(Revere Beach historical site )〕 Lightning's hybrid steel structure allowed for much more steeply banked curves than would have been possible in an ordinary wooden-framed roller coaster of the day. These steeply banked tracks often made quick transitions to steep banks in the opposite directions. These quick rolling transitions were one of the primary reasons for the violent nature of the Lightning.〔
