Coney Island's Cyclone celebrates its 85th anniversary this weekend.
Thrill seekers can enjoy 25-cent rides on Saturday, which is the same price as when the wooden roller coaster debuted on June 26, 1927.
It originally cost $175,000 to build the coaster, which became a worldwide symbol of America's emerging leisure in the 20th century.
