 Twister
Knoebels Amusement Park & Resort
Knoebel's Twister is based on the original John Allen classic Mister Twister roller coaster that operated at the former Elitch Gardens in Denver, Colorado. This new version retains many of the original design elements, but was slightly modified to fit the smaller site. The modifications include a split lifthill, below ground tunnel and a second swoop turn.
