said PPG is honored to contribute to the
legacy of the legendary Cyclone roller
coaster, which is being restored to its
classic glossy white finish over a 12-week
period ending in mid-November. “Our
products are commonly used to protect
bridges, water storage tanks, naval ships,
cargo vessels and other critical parts of
the world’s safety and transportation infrastructure, so we consider it a privilege
when we can help preserve and maintain
historic assets such as this celebrated
American landmark,” she explained.
Opened in June 1927, the Cyclone
roller coaster has thrilled generations of
riders with its signature 60-miles-per-
hour, 85-foot, 60-degree plunge. Listed
on the U.S. National Register of Historic

is designated an official New York City
landmark and recorded in the New York
