  • Designed by William Cobb, this out & back wooden coaster was built in-house by the Frontier Construction Company. The coaster, built in 1978, was given the name Tornado after a real tornado hit Adventureland before its debut season in July 1974 forcing the opening of the park to be delayed until August of that year.
    This Adventureland is located near Des Moines in Altoona, Iowa.

    My uncle used to service this coaster back in the early 80s. He even lost part of his thumb on working on it. I remember going to visit him as a kid and thinking this was the biggest coaster I had ever seen

      +rantanamo I love this coaster soooo much, I'd give anything to service it. I've ridden almost forty roller coasters and this one is my favorite, even above Outlaw Run at Silver Dollar City. I love how it still has the buzz bars and seatbelts because what I do is I loosen my seatbelt so I can come out of my seat on the hills. Otherwise it hurts because the seatbelt will cut into my lap if I don't. And the last row of this coaster is SUPER INTENSE.

    This was one of the first roller coasters I had ever been on, and other comments agree that this is a very bumpy ride. I was about 6’2” on my first run, and while I did have fun, my knees in that little cab being hit against the wall over and over would most likely not concur.

    The coaster, built in 1978, was given the name Tornado after a real tornado hit Adventureland before its debut season in July 1974 forcing the opening of the park to be delayed until August of that year. THE TORNADO was also giving that name for the reason was cause the costers flew off its tracks and lucky landed in the ADVENTURELAND BAY of water, no one was hurt or killed from it lucky. THE TORNADO RIDE, is also known as THE DEADLEST RIGHT in the whole park, when it hits it's a QUICK TURN JURK, that send its costers flying from it, in mid air. sence then, ALOT OF WORK was done to the ride, to make it fun and safe now for EVERYONE to enjoy!!

    • @ComedyWastedMedia
      @ComedyWastedMedia Рік тому +1

      i think you need to get your facts in order fella haha. TORNADO got its name from a tornado hitting the park the year of its "opening", which is what caused the coaster to have a delayed opening till the following season.

    Please give tornado the RMC treatment. It has a pretty good layout for an RMC topper track development. I understand that its the first roller coaster Adventureland built, but even just a smaller RMC like twisted colossus would be a huge step up in Adventureland's roller coaster lineup. An amazing gerstlauer infinity coaster and an RMC hybrid would be a great 1 2 punch for this park. As RMC's are beginning to be more the craze, and as someone who goes to A-land every year, this could be a great investment for the park and make the park better as a whole to compete with parks like Silver Dollar City, Worlds of Fun, and other parks in the midwest area. Just a thought!

      That would be amazing if they could work something out with RMC. Went to the park last year and Tornado and Outlaw were incredibly rough and not at all enjoyable. They need to do some extensive work on them. I mean, Tornado is nearing 50 years old now...
