Seven roller-coaster fans trapped on Coney Island’s legendary Cyclone just six days ago were first on line Saturday when the iconic thrill ride reopened.

“That was epic! I’m feeling great,” one of them, Adam Meyers, 17, said moments after getting off the historic Brooklyn landmark.

More than a dozen thrillseekers were forced to walk down a 60-degree slope when the ride broke down on its season-opening run.

“We survived!” David ­Zubin, 24, shouted Saturday.

“Cyclone 7!” his fellow “survivors’’ chanted.

“Absolutely awesome,” said Joseph Saulo, 33. “I can tell New Yorkers, don’t be afraid of the Cyclone.”

“Everything was worth getting stuck last week,” added Erik Knapp, a k a “Mr. Cyclone,” who loves the ride so much that he sports a massive tattoo of the roller coaster on his right arm.
