For an older wooden coaster that doesnt get too terribly much hype anymore, I found Twister II to be a surprisingly good ride. The last several new wooden coasters that Ive ridden (new for me, anyway) have been either exceedingly rough (Myrtle Beachs Hurricane and Family Kindgoms Swamp Fox) or incredibly tame (PGAs Grizzly). The Twister was actually a perfect blending of the two extremes. It had some nice wooden coaster elements, such as the first drop following the curving turnaround, several lateral-g producing turns and helices, and a nice, very dark tunnel. But none of these were executed in a painful manner. Twister II should therefore please everyone.
