Storm Chaser

Storm Chaser is a steel roller coaster at Kentucky Kingdom in Louisville that rises 30 meters high and spans approximately 840 meters of track. The ride reaches speeds of about 52 miles per hour (84 kilometers per hour) throughout its course.

This roller coaster opened in 2016, replacing the former Twisted Twins attraction on the same site. The new construction reused some of the existing steel support structure from the previous ride.

Built by Rocky Mountain Construction, this ride demonstrates how modern theme parks blend engineering skill with visitor experience. The design choices reflect what appeals to today's thrill-seeking audiences.

The ride operates two trains with six cars each and can process about 960 passengers per hour. Guests should be prepared for average wait times and wear comfortable shoes since the park requires walking around the site.

The ride features America's first barrel roll drop element, which pulls riders into an exciting spinning motion. This innovative feature sets this coaster apart from other rides across the country.
