Der Twister

Spinner
Minimum height to ride: 35 inches

Der Twister is made to look like a elongated log with two rows of seats. Riders are locked in tightly as this ride does a full 360 degree arching spin on it's log seats axle while also doing a 360 degree spin on it's central axis. Der Twister has a number of preset rode combinations but the operator can also stop the riders spin in any position making them view the ground or sky from different angles. This ride is a good ride and the lines are not all that long.
