Twister is the parks Top Spin flat ride, and probably the biggest "thrill ride" flat in the park. I certainly enjoyed my rides on Twister, and it ran a program that to me was just about right. One knock on this one is the line, as waits tend to be pretty lengthy, and it seemed to me like the ride crew was pretty sluggish and uninterested. Luckily though, the ride itself was good enough to mostly make up for that, and thankfully the ride lends itself to at least holding a good many people. Anyway, the ride ran at a nice crisp pace, with some really good hangtime and many forceful and quality flips. The second half of the ride, as others have mentioned, is more of a "teaser" with no actual flips of the gondola. Were there a few flips in this half, then the rating would be approaching a 9-10. However, even without the extra flips wed like to see in the second half, this ride still hits the bullseye with a great ride that is comfortable, very fun, and consistently thrilling. It ranks right up there as one of my favorite flat rides at Darien Lake.
