Twisted Typhoon is a steel inverted roller coaster at Wild Adventures in Valdosta, Georgia. It is a Vekoma Suspended Looping Coaster, the standard 689-meter model, with riders seated in trains that hang below the track. It opened on May 8, 1999, and is the park's longest coaster.
After a chain lift to 109.3 feet, the train turns riders upside down five times, through a roll-over, a sidewinder and a double in-line twist, on 2,260.5 feet of track. It reaches 49.7 mph, and a ride lasts about 1 minute 36 seconds.
The coaster opened as Hangman, with orange track and tan supports. For the 2012 season the park repainted it green and blue and renamed it Twisted Typhoon. Riders must be at least 52 inches tall.
