swampfoxer | 1964 Mr Twister roller coaster Elitch Gardens Denver CO @swampfoxer | Uploaded December 2007 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
When the original Mr Twister roller coaster opened in 1964 at Elitch Gardens in Denver, CO., the designer John Allen, deemed it to be unexciting and not very thrilling. As you can see in this rare video clip, the train originally exits the lift chain and straight into the double helix. After the 1964-65 reprofile, well...you know the rest of the story. PS: the video clip says 1965 but that was a misprint.
