Wind Chaser is a roller coaster at Kentucky Kingdom in Louisville, Kentucky. Rocky Mountain Construction built it on the structure of the Lola track of Twisted Twins, a Custom Coasters International wooden coaster that last ran in 2007, replacing the wooden track with its steel I-Box track. Alan Schilke designed the layout.
The ride opened as Storm Chaser in April 2016. It stands 100 feet tall, runs 2,744 feet of track at up to 52 mph, and lasts about 1 minute 40 seconds. After the chain lift, the first drop includes a barrel roll; the layout also has over-banked curves and a zero-g roll.
History
In 2025 the area around the ride became Discovery Meadow, and Storm Chaser was renamed Wind Chaser to match the new theme.
