Accually the ride was rebuilt a few times before they came up with the "mister twister".

Believe me....The original coaster was WAY better. I grew up with the park, and worked there in 1983. The original location had great old atmosphere. I totally avoid the downtown location.

Wierd, seems like Twister II in greyscale...

@piekid666666 yeah this ride was the best. they should have re-located it in stead of making a coaster "based "off it. or if they built a new one they should have at least build it verbatum to John allen's 1065 specifications. The only people who have made a decent ride based off this was Knobels, and theirs was strongly based off the original 1965 plans but they had to modify it to fit a smaller site

ive just made a record called mr twister, come check it out

many parts of this look scarier than the twister 2, for example, the tilt on the turns as opposed to the verticle turns.

I just found this POV and I've been riding the Knoebels Twister for many years, so it's very interesting to see the differences between the two. Pretty much aside from the split lift hill (great tension-builder!) the ride looks almost exactly the same except for the fact that the Knoebels' version is a mirror-image e.g. you enter the helix at the top right instead of the left and the tunnel is in a different spot (right before the brake run).
You got this footage from Roy Brashears' Roller Coaster Weekend, didn't you!? How did you get the video to digital format? By the way, I think your footage of old parks is great!

Yes this clip comes from the video Roller Coaster Weekend, it has a lot of really good stuff in it. I just found the video in a box and probably have not watched it in over 10 years. I have all my Super 8 film and video transferred to digital at homemoviedepot com
