Timber Twister is a family roller coaster at Gilroy Gardens Family Theme Park in Gilroy, California, where the park lists it as the Timber Twister Coaster. It is one of the park's two roller coasters; the other is the Quicksilver Express Mine Coaster, which opened the same day.
History
The coaster opened with the park, then called Bonfante Gardens, on June 15, 2001. It is a medium Tivoli model built by the German company Zierer and designed by Ing.-Büro Stengel.
A booster-wheel lift carries the train up, and the course has no inversions. The single train has 13 cars with two riders side by side in each, for 26 riders.
