Fairly Odd Coaster is a spinning roller coaster at Nickelodeon Universe, the indoor theme park inside Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota. It opened on March 15, 2004, as Timberland Twister, when the park was still Camp Snoopy, and took its current name in 2007.
The coaster is a Gerstlauer Spinning Coaster (model 420/4) designed by Ing.-Büro Stengel. A chain lift takes the cars up 54 feet, and the 1,345-foot course reaches 31 mph with no inversions. The cars seat four riders, two across in two rows, and rotate freely as they travel. A ride lasts about a minute and a half.
The park's site lists the minimum height as 47 inches, or 43 inches with a chaperone.
