Shivering Timbers is a wooden roller coaster at Michigan's Adventure near Muskegon, Michigan. It opened in 1998 and was built by Custom Coasters International. The park calls it its signature coaster and the longest and fastest wooden coaster in the state.
The ride has an out-and-back layout of 5,383 feet. A chain lift climbs 122 feet, and the first drop falls 122 feet at a 55-degree angle, according to the park. The return run includes hills of about 100 and 95 feet and a helix, and the ride lasts two and a half minutes. The park gives a top speed of 65 mph.
The coaster originally had a "trick track" section inspired by designer Harry Traver, which RCDB notes was later removed. There are no inversions.
