Corkscrew, Steel roller coaster in Athol, Idaho
The Corkscrew reaches speeds of 46 miles per hour along its track with two complete inversions through a series of steel loops and turns.
Originally installed at Knott's Berry Farm in California from 1975 to 1989, the Corkscrew was purchased by Silverwood Theme Park for $250,000.
The roller coaster design by Ron Toomer revolutionized theme park engineering as the first modern steel coaster to turn riders upside down.
Riders experience a 72-foot climb before descending through multiple elements including camelbacks, providing sufficient thrills for both novice and experienced visitors.
The engineering prototype spawned ten identical replicas between 1975 and 1979, establishing a new standard for steel roller coaster manufacturing worldwide.
