Performance

Vs. other coasters at Elitch Gardens

The big drops always lift me out of my seat but maybe that just because the seatbelts are always too big on me and I’m very lightweight.

@annalise8572

There’s NO airtime, NO forceful moments, and tons and tons of pot holes.

Gavin

I had the same thoughts, no airtime but solid laterals, and any roughness it had was easily manageable.

@OklahomaCoasterFan

This ride was constructed by Hensel Phelps and is made from PTC trains, which makes for a pretty, pretty smooth ride.

Theme Parker

longest coaster I’ve been on and really cool theming but really uncomfortable even for a woodie and the only coaster in the park thats slightly overrated.

Gibson Williams

This is a long and rough ride that is pretty forceless.

Nathan F

It was actually kind of intense, because it looks old and rickety and it’s bumpy.

@migrations

But the trains are cushioned which means it isn’t painful, and it maintains its speed well enough.

Nathan F

The second half in particular has a great sense of speed, and it feels quite wild when paired with those laterals.

Canobie Coaster

...parts were pretty fun at the start.however,this ride suffered from one big issue,the trim brakes,some of those trims were on some drops and man,they just took from the fun and potential...

אדר פופקו

Besides that, though, again, kind of like I say this whole ride, you see some trims.

Gibson Williams, Captain Coaster review

They just did some updating to those ride and is now called the "Twister III" I thought this meant they would fix some of its bigger flaws like how old the wood is and how much it throws you around.

Sarah W., Captain Coaster review

Somebody messed up in the revamp because this thing is horrible.

Joshua Henry, Captain Coaster review

It’s really rough really unreliable, is really rough, really long wait times because of only one train running normally, it’s extremely long, it is fun at parts, it’s also not rough enough to be painful at fast parts.

Thesticklord, Captain Coaster review

It is a pretty uncomfortable experience with its janky turns.
