The Tornado Roller Coaster at Adventureland, Altoona, Iowa

The Tornado is an out and back coaster with a dog leg that used to curve around and encompass the back of the park but in the thirty years since it was built Adventureland has grown around it.

I have to give Adventureland's maintenance department some kudos as the Tornado went from being a pretty bad ride to one blast of a coaster.

The Tornado is just one of those fun rides where everyone should just put your arms in the air and let gravity send you wherever she desires which in this case is up!

Ok, pop quiz.  Can you spot the good coaster in this picture?  I can and it's not made of steel.
