Twister, Wooden roller coaster at Gröna Lund, Sweden
Twister is a roller coaster at Gröna Lund in Stockholm, partly built in wood and manufactured by The Gravity Group. Its track is 480 m long and reaches a highest point of 15.25 m, with a top speed of 61 km/h and just over 3 G. Two trains run on it, each with twelve seats.
The coaster was designed and built by American manufacturer The Gravity Group, opening to the public in May 2011 as part of the park's expansion. This addition marked an important development in Gröna Lund's evolution as a major amusement destination.
Twister is one of seven roller coasters at Gröna Lund, a park founded in 1883 by Jacob Schultheis and Sweden's oldest amusement park. The park's concert stages have hosted ABBA in 1973, Bob Marley in 1980 and Dua Lipa in 2022, so a ride on Twister often fits into a day built around live music on Djurgården.
Riders must meet certain height requirements to participate safely on this attraction. It is best to visit the ride during peak park hours when all trains operate regularly to minimize waiting time.
The track weaves directly alongside and through spaces shared with other park attractions like the ghost train building and nearby coasters. This interweaving creates an interconnected experience where riders see and interact with multiple attractions during their journey.
