- This in-house built wooden coaster was adapted from John Allen's original plans of the Mr. Twister coaster that operated at Elitch Gardens from 1964-1994. Standing over 106 feet (32m) tall with a top speed over 51 mph (83 km/h), its dual lift hills both use the same chain.
Knoebels Amusement Park & Resort is located in Elysburg, Pennsylvania.

Such an underrated coaster in such an underrated park!! Maybe I'm biased since Knoebels is the park I grew up going to, but they easily have some of the best rides and food at any park you'll ever go to. You can't beat the value either.
I agree. It’s a great park. But if you want a even park with rides. Go to Six flags great Adventure, or Cedar Point
@@thebradinator5683 I have yet to go to Cedar Point but I've been to Great Adventure a few times. They do have some good coasters there but I certainly would not call it a better park overall. A lot of the reasons why are because it is in fact owned by Six Flags. That part would be so much better if a new owner bought it, cleaned it up, and lowered the prices. Paying $30 to park your car is outrageous, as is the admission cost. I've been to King's Island and thought that was a far superior park. So is Holiday World and frankly I would put Hersheypark ahead of them too. Dorney Park needs a few additions but it's certainly a lot less expensive than Great Adventure and the landscaping and scenery are kept nice.
Yeah it’s my favorite place
@@mhtube01 I live in Metro Detroit so Cedar Point is a bit closer than Kings Island but it sure is a great park and the location being near dense woods is nice as well. Great Adventure had some rides you won’t find elsewhere such as El Toro, but overall most of the rides are fairly bland. At least to me. Nitro was about the other only standout for me. Six Flags is a fairly poorly ran company and I say this with Six Flags over Texas and Fiesta Texas being my home parks.
@@mhtube01 I agree with you it's so underrated
Twister at night is unreal. Especially during the Halloween season. It ranks higher than Phoenix for me at least. Such a forceful ride with the best headchoppers out there.
Twister is a muscular and exciting ride, very underrated. I have a hard time anywhere but in the front seat, but from there, I think it’s my favorite coaster.
This ride is so underrated! Though it's a little rougher than the pheonix, it's definitely one of the best I've been on.
Wooden coasters are the best coasters.
zombies67 hybrid coasters are the best
SWARM 996 NEVER!!!!
zombies67 so steel vengeance aint the best
@@swarm9962 yea
Depends which specific coaster we're talking about but yeah I do really love my woodies so I could see what you mean
OK I grew up riding the original in Denver, and it was a great coaster but this looks better in every way. Certainly faster. I might have to get out and ride this someday.
Girl: Again!
Boy: Noooo, I'm done!
Girl: But I'm not!
Girl: Can we do this again?
Boy: Nooooo, we're done!
Me: 🤣🤣🤣
Exactly
Lmao
LovesNails&Shoes 80 that was a boy
it was both girls
U r a girl I'm a boy
I grew up just eight blocks from the Original Elitch Gardens and so I new Mr. Twister very well and could hear the screams from the top of the hill every night it was open. It was a pretty huge ordeal when they decided to move the park into the Downtown Denver area and had to take the coaster down board by board and rebuild it at the present location! We were also only 10 blocks away from Lakeside Amusement park too!
Same. I miss the original Mr. Twister and rode it countless times back in the day. So many memories at the original Elitch Gardens!
They redesigned it and built it from scratch at the new location. It wasn’t relocated from the old park. The original was demolished and Twister II has all new wood.
Riding Mr. Twister in the back row on vacation in the summer of 1990 was the last time I ever felt fear on a ride.
my favorite coaster at knoebel’s. sure, it’s rickety, but that’s what makes it fun :)
Night rides on this are insane
They are, it feels like you're going at least 1.5 times as fast as you are during the day! It's so dark and you can't really see anything except for the station, lift hills, and the blinding camera flash haha. By far one of the best night rides on a roller coaster I've been on.
During Halloween don’t they have that one jumpscare in the tunnel near the end?
I absolutely love the coasters at Knoebels, especially Twister, Phoenix, and Impulse. I’m non-biased regarding roller coasters, value, and food.
Wow this is a awesome wooden! Nice POV of it. I love the 4k quality!
cringe
@@m4444x You're the one that's cringe lol.
This was the first “real” roller coaster that I ever had Ridden
Definitely worth it
😊
My god this is definitely my favorite ride at knoebles! I remember the first time I went on, my friend forced me to go on cuz I was a pussy and I was so fucking terrified but after the first time around I loved it SOOO MUCH. the Phoenix was also really good but this one was way better
We always ride it like 5 times in a row
"Can we go again??"
"Nooo, we're good."
Looks amazing!This has to have one of the best track layouts I have ever seen.
I feel lucky to be able to live right next to knoebels
The laterals look insane!
It does have some great laterals throughout the layout! It really doesn't lose that much speed throughout the ride either
Best lateral on the ride? The turn right after the tunnel
you can feel the train tip off the track and clap back onto it at one point.
The looks like one great ride
i went on this today for the first time, and i fucking loved it. it was so fun, it never gets boring. better than expected 100%.
How bumpy was it ?? This video makes it look really bumpy and I’m going in a few days so idk if I should go on this
@@koalakris5613 Actually it’s waaay smoother than the Phoenix. It’s not that bumpy irl, I think the way the persons holding the phone makes it look bumpy. I was always afraid of the twister but when I went on it for the first time and it was great, go on it dude, it’s fun!
@@koalakris5613 It runs very well for an aggressive layout. At its worst, it was just a bit bumpy. Knoebels retracked the double helix for this season so I'm excited to see how well it's running now! They've had it running as well as I ever remember the last 3 years overall though. Definitely do not skip out on this ride.
I’ll be there Monday! Can’t Waite to film!
never had a better ride experience than today i went on a sunday so it closed at 7 i just for if the ski lift and i headed over while it was pouring rain at 6:55 minutes before it closed they told us it stinged when we went down when it was raining but they just kept sending us over and over until they got the call to shut of the ride it was raining heavily the whole time and it was the same group of 7-8 people just agreeing to go over and over again they finally said last ride and when we got into the stop station they pressed the breaks to late and accidentally send half the roller coaster into the ride area and only half was still in the station the ride operator asked if anyone objected to a 4th ride cause we had been going over and over and everyone said yes it was the most fun fast wet and crazy experience i led the park at 7:20 soaked and it was still raining never had a better knoebles experience and keep in mind this was my first time ever riding twister 10/10 recommend
Imo, better than Phoenix
Same!
Most people won't agree, and I've always said they're polar opposites so you can't compare them. But that's why they they compliment each other so well being at the same park. Having said that, Knoebels has done a lot of track work to Twister in recent years and last year I couldn't help getting off it thinking I enjoyed it more than Phoenix. You gotta love the airtime of Phoenix but they need to retrack of few of the bottoms of the hills on that coaster. Twister is running better than it ever has IMO and I think it showed last year with the lines it had. I know this year they retracked the second lift hill to fix that kink to the left it had.
Wow that looks intense!
2:28 Chuck Norris is that you?
vic19971000 actually that’s East Coast(er) General. He does most of the filming for Coasterforce
This is my first ever coaster, best ride I possibly could have chosen :)
I just went in this today and this is in Pennsylvania
Too bad I love on the opposite side of the country. This looks like a great ride!
Scared the crap out of me in 1998. I hope they added seatbelts as I felt like I was going to fly out.
Lol the little girl in the back 😂 *screaming*
The amount of air time I had on that thing
very interesting layout! though the second lift hill seems like a waste of time just to make going up the first one interesting, seeing the track above you and everything. but overall i still like the way it looks
I think the reason for that is that this ride is a tribute to Mr. Twister, but they couldn't fit the lift hill of Mr. Twister into the space available without splitting it.
They didn't have much room to work with, so they added a second lift to save space. So basically, have the second lift and have a coaster or no second lift and no coaster.
Do you purposely choose clips that have screaming girls?
Kinda hard to avoid considering that's half the population of Earth
The first time I rode this I screamed wait no I’m not ready to die as it started cuse I wasn’t ready and passed out on it
That ride rattles every bone in my body when I go on it that and phoenix
The whole time u can just hear 1 girl screaming like crazy lol
Do its lift hills really use the same chain? I noticed that the bottom one stopped while the train was going up the top one during my last visit.
No, they are two separate systems.
I went on it yesterday 3 times and couldn’t sleep because it felt like I was falling lmaoo
That was some ride.
To people complaining about the screaming, it's a little girl. Let her have some fun, without those people we wouldn't have amusement parks. Let them scream and enjoy themselves.
Some people would rather be able to enjoy the visuals without distracting audio.
Karen Page you’d prefer everyone rode this in silence?
See your my friend now😂😂😂 at less somebody understands😂
@@TheLewistownTrainspotter8102 Then mute the volume.
@@mdteletom1288 Who gave you the right to tell people what they should do? The Internet allows freedom of speech.
I ride this today it goes so fast
Wooden Coaster 1 is too intense for me
I was here yesterday
Edit: I mean there
I feel like I'm watching an earthquake
Ouch
Dude I’ve went on it the newest ride is the tornado 🌪 and timbering woods
Btw u get dizzy on the timbering woods
CAN WE DON IT AGAIN
Do it again!! 😂
I’m scared to go on it..... should I?
What's scary about it
I've gone on it several times. It is so fun!My favorite coaster.
@@marcussmith5806 or better yet, keep your hands up the whole time... can't do it any other way! Actually I think this is the first coaster I ever rode 'hands off' for the whole ride!
YES. i went on it for the first time today after years of avoiding it. and it’s worth it 100%. wayyyy better than expected
Update: this comment was quite a while ago, and I have now ridden it. It’s now my favorite ride😎
Knoebels Twister closing for good on February 7th 2033
They need more coasters then
this is 1080p60 not 4k60
Carl FortniteRoblox cuz your not using a screen that supports 4K
The high-pitched screamer in this video was quite annoying. It was almost as if any little thing would cause her to scream.
stfu. its a little girl. without people like them we wouldn't really have any coasters. let her have fun. god.
Col vid
Great ride. Put a sock in the kid's mouth 😂
Twister 🌪️ > Phoenix
unpopular opinion: twister > phoenix.
I'm Vengeance
It looks like ghost rider
Fun fact: I nearly flew out of this coaster, the only thing left in the coaster car at one point was my hand grabbing the terrible placed safety bar
My sister broke her wrist because her dumbass had her hands up when we went under the bars lmao
Cool layout but those turns look really bad.
They are quicker but are bumpy. It’s rough through there but fun.
my god i hate those people on a roller coaster that scream like they are freaking dying
That’s the fun part though 😂
He’ll nah
#betterthanpheonix
fake, humans eyes only see 35 decibels
Annoying shrieker in the back
I have a theory that I am going to put here for posterity. Some day in the future they will have RNC re track this ride. Its rough, it needs updates every pre season and it would be excellent as a retrack. The result would be amazing. But for now it just has so many things not to like. I rode it on opening day and honestly only once since.
PLEASE NO, NEVER!!! I highly doubt Knoebel’s would ever do this. They aren’t the kind of park to convert a classic style wooden coaster to a crappy hybrid coaster. This was an altered recreation of the original Elitch Gardens Twister, they purchased the blueprints and made alterations to make it fit their park when Elitch Gardens closed their original location in 1994. The roughness is what makes it great, and even then, I’ve been on way rougher coasters, some steel or hybrid even. Every wooden coaster is supposed to get track sections replaced every year, most parks just don’t put in the effort because they’re lazy. The Knoebel family puts in that effort because they appreciate and adore these coasters like Twister and Phoenix and want to see them remain in proper operation and not converted to crazy painful rides that aren’t classic. You’re not gonna like every ride. You just have to accept that and move on. You can have your opinion that it’s bad, but the park isn’t gonna mess with a great thing so many enjoy. I think a retrack hybrid would ruin it, and that’s my opinion. You’re in the minority here. Most people love this ride, and I’d argue it’s better than Phoenix.
lol you had me until "better than pheonix". Pheonix is superior the air time, the smooth motions, the sounds. Ugh such magnificence!
I agree with your opinion but not for the same reasons. Knoebels holds onto nostalgia which is why I love them so much. The park is bigger but the same vibe as when I was a kid and will keep that into the future.
So yea...my prediction will probably not come true. @@MisterTwister1964
@@PlancoandChill Well that’s your opinion that Phoenix is better, not a fact by any means. I simply stated my opinion that I prefer Twister. I really enjoy Phoenix, and it is an airtime machine as you said. I prefer laterals and speed rather than airtime so I prefer Twister. Phoenix isn’t that much smoother than Twister, and the sounds are nearly the same. Both are wooden coasters. I can agree that Knoebel’s entire theme/mission is nostalgia. That’s why they saved Rocket/Phoenix and rebuilt their own Twister. You clearly don’t understand what opinions are and that everyone is entitled to them, as long as you understand that opinions aren’t facts.
Girl ruined it for me
Painful for chubby people
Too bad this thing is such a back breaker. I rode it once 15 years ago and have boycotted it ever since...
You're missing out. Knoebels has really perfected it over the years and reprofiled some of the areas that weren't perfect originally. In 2019 they had it running so well that I think it was actually running better than the Phoenix was. You should give it another chance, it's a great coaster.
@@mhtube01 I've had nothing but great rides on this coaster, and I've ridden a lot of woodies. IMO better than Phoenix, but that may be Twister was on an upswing and Phoenix not (it's the nature of woodies). So much has to do with the day and the weather for weeks leading up to your visit. I vote for giving it another chance!
Keep boycotting your the only one
