Six Flags Discovery Kingdom was lacking a broad appeal roller coaster. The park had a great thrill ride arsenal and one kids coaster, but needed something in the middle. Our Twister Coaster boasted a 105 cm (42 in) height requirement and fit the bill.
We themed the vehicles to match a rattlesnake motif the park gave the coaster. In addition, Six Flags did an amazing job theming the attraction. The park created beautiful signage that featured a large rattle snake. In addition, they showcased several snakes as part of an educational exhibit in the queue.
The guest response to the coaster installation was immediate and positive. Riders of all ages enjoyed the coaster. Most importantly, the project did a great job targeting the park’s key visitor demographic- families with kids under twelve. Almost every family that came through the front gate had a majority of their family members enjoying the coaster.
