While claiming the fact that it is Cedar Point's third fastest and tallest coaster, Wicked Twister stands alongside the beach with a wonderful view. It is a very modern LIM launched coaster with some unique elements. It is a very intense ride that, despite its short length, still makes it a fun ride.
A majority of the time, the park is slack in this area so you can normally get a walk-on or a station wait on all but the most crowded of days. The seats are very comfortable and the launch is extremely powerful. After the second launch through the station, the train reaches its top speed in excess of 70 mph and its top height toward the top of each twisted spike. The best seats are on either end as these seats get the most twist action. The middle seats are a little more balanced but do not get the forces that the ends receive.
Wicked Twister has had some issues and downtime in the past, but on each trip we have always been able to get at least one ride on it. It is fast and fun, particularly in the rain as one of our rides was. The ride itself is a nice thrill and an excellent adrenaline rush whenever you do ride. It gets a solid rating here on Coaster Reviews and is an underrated ride at the Coaster Capitol.
Overall rating - 8
