Arkansas Twister, Wooden roller coaster at Magic Springs and Crystal Falls, Arkansas, United States.
The Arkansas Twister features a 95-foot lift hill followed by a steep 92-foot drop at a 45-degree angle through the Ouachita Mountains foothills.
The roller coaster opened in 1978 as Florida Hurricane at Circus World theme park before Magic Springs purchased it for $10,000 in 1991.
During its time at Circus World, the attraction operated under the name Michael Jackson's Thrill Coaster, reflecting the performer's connection to the park.
Passengers must be at least 48 inches tall to ride the coaster, which reaches speeds of 50 miles per hour along 3,340 feet of track.
The wooden structure contains over half a million feet of Douglas fir lumber and features trains manufactured by Gerstlauer with six cars each.
