Corkscrew, Steel roller coaster in Playland, Vancouver, Canada

Corkscrew is a steel roller coaster featuring two complete loop inversions that twist riders through its track layout. The ride was designed to carry two trains, each with six cars, for a total capacity of 24 riders per cycle.

Vekoma built the ride in 1985 as Screamer for Boblo Island in Amherstburg, Ontario. It later moved to Playland at the PNE in Vancouver and ran as Corkscrew. By March 2019 it was gone from the park's website, sold to an unannounced buyer, and Clearview Demolition Ltd. dismantled it for Playland's renovation and expansion.

The roller coaster gained media attention through its appearances in Final Destination 3 and Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days movies.

The coaster stood at Playland At the PNE in Vancouver and was dismantled by Clearview Demolition Ltd. after its March 2019 sale, so it can no longer be ridden. Visitors to the site today find the area cleared for the park's renovation and expansion. The ride's film appearances, including Final Destination 3, remain the way to see it.

The coaster's film career left a paper trail: the bonus disc of the Final Destination 3 DVD set carries behind-the-scenes footage shot on and around the ride, recording the difficulties of filming there. It also ran as Devil's Flight in that 2006 film, and later appeared in Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days and the Smallville episode "Magnetic".
