Yes I think you might be right that Cyclone did end up going to China - permanently. I'm thinking there is a good chance this one was the same unit as Wittingslow's. I never remembered Witts one having a deck on it - so this may have been added when it was sold to its new owner. Orbitors are great rides. I remember seeing Wittingslow's operate when I was very young, thinking it was one of the scariest rides there (moved very fast)

I can remember when show west's Orbitor made the appearence at the Northam show back in the early 90's when i was small, it still had an American theme red/blue with the eagle on the word ORBITOR on the ticket booth lol..

My god it scared me, i look at it now it one of my favourite rides of the show west fleet.
