The Twister Roller Coaster at Knoebels Amusement Resort, Elysburg, Pennsylvania

While wandering around Knoebels there are little historical plaques like this at most of the rides there.  It is just so cool how Knoebels and the Knoebel family are so proud of the amazing park they have built and all of the world class rides they have that they like to show them off a bit.

Here is Mr. Bond getting ready for his first spin on the Knoebels Twister.

With a name like Twister it would be wrong for there to be no twisting or turns on such a ride.  Don't worry there is no false advertising with regard to Twister.  It gives just what it says.

Wrapping around the station at the center of the ride is Twister's signature double helix.

You fly through the helix and then speed into the crossover covered remainder of the ride.  If you like speeding through coaster structure at high speed with bents and boards whizzing by then the Twister is the ride for you.
