Shivering Timbers, Wooden roller coaster at Michigan's Adventure in Muskegon, United States

Shivering Timbers is a wooden roller coaster at Michigan's Adventure in Muskegon, stretching across a large layout with two major hills and several drops in an out-and-back design. The track uses a traditional wood-on-steel structure with support columns and cross-bracing throughout.

The coaster opened in 1998 and brought fresh engineering approaches to wooden coaster design in America. It marked a turning point for Michigan's Adventure as the park expanded its offerings.

The name comes from Michigan's deep ties to logging, and the wooden structure reflects how the state once relied on timber. You can sense this connection to the past when you look at how the tracks are built.

Riders should prepare for a fast and intense experience, especially in the front rows where the sensation is strongest. The best time to ride is early in the morning or late in the day when crowds are smaller.

The coaster is known for its rough and shaky ride with lots of bumping, which matches its name perfectly. Many riders find that the wooden rattling and quick changes in direction make up much of what makes it thrilling.
