Turbulence is a steel spinning roller coaster at Adventureland in Farmingdale, on Long Island, New York. The park calls it Long Island's largest and only spinning coaster.
The ride was built by Mack Rides and opened in 2015, replacing the Hurricane coaster, which had been dismantled in October 2014. RCDB lists it as a Mack Spinning Coaster of the Turbulence model, 55 feet tall with a top speed of 40 mph and 1,253 feet of track. A chain lift takes the cars up, and the cars spin as they run through the layout. There are no inversions. The ride has two trains of three cars, each car seating four riders.
Riders must be 48 inches tall to ride alone, or 44 inches with an adult, according to the park.
