The Tornado, initially referred to as the ''Bobs,'' was a roller coaster in Coney Island located along Bowery Street . Designed by Fred Church and built by the L. A. Thompson Company, the roller coaster cost $250,000 to build in 1926. Much like the neighboring ''Cyclone'', it was a hybrid coaster with a wooden track and steel structure. The coaster featured a large tower in the middle in which it is said that LaMarcus Thompson was seen working, although he had already died years before his company constructed the coaster. For this reason, the coaster is sometimes referred to as "Church's Haunted Coaster." In 1977, much of the coaster was damaged by arson and the coaster was completely demolished in April 1978. ==See also== *Coney Island Cyclone *Thunderbolt (1925 roller coaster) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tornado (Coney Island)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
