Ultra
Twister Opened in 1986, Ultra Twister was the first and only TOGO pipeline coaster in the North America. It was unique with it's vertical lift and first drop, and as the only true heartline coaster design. It only lasted 2 seasons at Great Adventure due to its low capacity and difficulties evacuating passengers from the vertical lift in the event of a breakdown. When it was moved to Six Flags Astroworld in 1989, it was redesigned with a more traditional 45 degree angle lift. Ultra Twister Statistics
