Twister

Roller coaster
Minimum height to ride: 42 inches

About Twister

A new interpretation of an old classic. This coaster was adapted from the plans for Mr. Twister, a legendary coaster that operated at the old Elitch Gardens. Six Flags Elitch Gardens moved the park in 1994, but opted to leave the ride behind. While the original met the wrecking ball in 1999, this replica pays homage. Its a wooden twister style coaster with a height of 101 feet and a speed of about 52 mph. -- Last edited by Derek Potter

In my opinion, one of the most underrated coasters anywhere. How does this constantly get ranked below the Phoenix? Not to put Phoenix down, but Twister is just an amazing ride, one of the best woodies out there. - Adam Imbruglio
