Timberline Twister was a kiddie roller coaster located at the Camp Snoopy area of Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park, California.
History[]
The coaster was manufactured by Bradley & Kaye and officially opened at the park on July 1, 1983, along with the then-new Camp Snoopy area for kids.[1] The coaster had been previewed to employees on the preceding June 27th, 28th, and 30th. The trains were originally in a red-and-gray color scheme, which were repainted teal-and-purple in the 2000s, and once again in a pinewood derby theme for the 2014 season.[2][3]
Timberline Twister and the neighboring Camp Bus last operated in July 2023 before being walled off and removed during renovations for the 40th anniversary of the Camp Snoopy area.[4][5] Snoopy's Tenderpaw Twister Coaster opened in 2024 on their former sites.[6]
Design[]
Train[]
The coaster featured a single train with 3 cars. Riders were arranged 3 across (or 1 adult and 1 child) in 2 rows in each car for a total of up to 18 riders per train. Riders were required to be between 36 to 69 inches tall. The restraints included seat belts and T-bars.[7]
