Twister II

Twister II is a wooden roller coaster at Elitch Gardens in Denver with a tall first hill and sharp curves that bank steeply. The trains move through twisting sections and elevated turns that create the sensation of constantly changing direction.

The wooden coaster opened in 1995 as a tribute to an earlier attraction that operated under a different name from 1964 to 1994. It was built at the current location after the original site was relocated.

Families and friends come to experience this wooden coaster during warm months when the park fills with visitors. The traditional design with mechanical sounds appeals to those who enjoy classic amusement rides.

Riders must meet a minimum height requirement to board, and each train has limited seating available. Waiting times tend to be longer during warm weather and weekends, so visiting during quieter hours or weekdays helps reduce wait times.

A recent renovation added a pitch-black tunnel section with wind effects and tornado-like sounds that visitors do not expect. This hidden element changes how the ride feels and adds an extra layer of surprise during the journey.
