Statement about the Six Flags-Cedar Fair merger Click here for our statement about how wiki content will change following the Six Flags-Cedar Fair merger.
In 1985, Six Flags Great Adventure announced that they would be adding Ultra Twister for the 1986 season. Construction of the ride began in November of 1985 and the ride finally opened to the public on June 6, 1986. Guests watched as the pieces came together during April and May, anxiously awaiting the ride's opening.
The ride was located next to Rolling Thunder and featured a chicken exit. Although the coaster itself was a rough ride due to the restraints needed to be in use, it was still a relatively popular coaster among guests. In 1989, the Great American Scream Machine opened at the park, bringing it up to six coasters. At that time, pictures and descriptions of this coaster-along with nine other coasters in the Six Flags Chain-were displayed on mini-billboards along the queue area. Ultra Twister was closed in the middle of the 1989 season and dismantled due to Six Flags's ride rotation program. The plot where Ultra Twister stood was left empty until the construction of Viper.
Ultra Twister was moved to Six Flags AstroWorld in 1990. There, it received new modifications.
