Tornado

Tornado is a steel roller coaster at Avonturenpark Hellendoorn that rises 25 meters high and includes two inversions along its path. The track spans 460 meters with a vertical loop and corkscrew element built into the layout.

Built in 1990 by Dutch manufacturer Vekoma as an MK-1200 model, this roller coaster represented an important step in the park's evolution toward more thrilling rides. The addition brought a new level of excitement to the growing amusement facility.

This ride marks a turning point for many Dutch children as they experience their first upside-down journey. For visitors, it becomes a memorable moment that often shifts their confidence with roller coasters.

A single train carries 28 riders per cycle at speeds of 73 kilometers per hour during a 68-second run with sharp turns and inversions. Visitors should be prepared for intense forces and follow all safety instructions before boarding.

In 2021, the attraction's restraint system changed from over-the-shoulder to around-the-hip design, creating a noticeably different sensation during the ride. This modification made the experience feel fresh even for those who had ridden it before.
