Nice spotlight as usual, I have never been on this type of ride. I wonder why they gave Twister a theme that does not match anything in that section of the park?

It is a stretch but I guess a wood grain Twister does sort of lineup with a BOARDwalk name.

Nice little Spotlight. The funny thing about this ride for me is, it is the only ride in the Park I have never been on, ever (besides the upcharges). Not that I am scared or anything, I just never have got on it for one reason or another. Now I kind of like having it as the only ride in the Park I haven't ridden, it makes it kind of my "White Whale". I have been saving it for special occasion, maybe opening day on the 35th. year of the park, that's kind of special, and I don't think it will make it to the 40th. anniversary of the park.

This video is from a similar ride over in Europe. To me, it just doesn't look like something the manufacturer would recommend!

It's interesting to note that the inspectors must have made them change the exit way from stairs to a handicap-friendly ramp prior to opening.

This is one ride I will never try. It is cool to watch but I don't like rides that either hold you upside down or continually flip you upside down (I can handle an Enterprise barely).

I haven't ridden this ride since either 1999 or 2000. Maybe I'll give it a spin this season

Great spotlight as usual! I'm not good with spinning rides, upside down flips I'm OK with. Needless to say, this is one of the few War on Lines flats I actually got on.

Dorney's has water jets but I don't think they spray people. Never rode there's either. Twister is one of the few War on Lines rides left so hopefully it won't be going anywhere anytime soon!

The jets sprayed people for a short time at Dorney. They stopped it because there was a problem with it, something about the ride parts not supposed to be getting wet because that model wasn't designed to have water.
