Twister II, Wooden roller coaster at Elitch Gardens, Denver, US.

Twister III: Storm Chaser features a 100-foot height with a 91-foot drop, reaching speeds of 55 miles per hour through multiple turns and banking sections.

The wooden coaster opened in 1995 as Twister II, paying tribute to the original Mr. Twister that operated from 1964 to 1994 at the former Elitch Gardens location.

Local families gather at Elitch Gardens during summer months to experience this traditional wooden coaster, which maintains the mechanical sounds and movements of classic designs.

The roller coaster accommodates 360 riders per hour in trains configured with three rows of two seats, requiring passengers to be at least 48 inches tall.

The 2023 renovation added a 100-foot pitch-black tunnel that incorporates wind effects and sounds to replicate the experience of entering a tornado.

Location: Colorado

GPS coordinates: 39.74640,-105.01400
