Wicked Twister
It’s a
roller coaster
… with a twist!
Cedar Point amusement park/resort announced plans November 20 to build the
tallest and fastest “double-twisting” impulse roller coaster in the world
for its 2002 season.
Named Wicked Twister, this 215-foot-tall, 72-mph steel stunner is Cedar
Point’s 15th scream machine, breaking the park’s own world record
for having
more coasters than anywhere else on Earth.

Wicked
Twister rounds out Cedar Point's coaster collection nicely by adding a
great, intense launched ride. The pull in and out of the vertical spikes
will make you feel three times your weight in that seat.

You can be sure that the "money seat" is without question the back seat.
Because the fastest pass through the station is backward, you'll hit that
pull at 72 mph, and just as soon as you've absorbed that shock, you'll be
twisted around the full 450 degrees up the spike. Then you'll whirl face
down toward the ground. Good times!
 The
front is an interesting ride as well just for the view. It's similarly
intense but you're not caught of guard as much since you can see where
you're headed. The middle seat (row 9) has an interesting point on the rear
passes where you feel like you've got enough hang time to get out and touch
the maintenance platform at the top of the supports.
Generally
speaking, the closer to the back you are, the better the ride.
