- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- Designed by William Cobb, this out & back wooden coaster was built in-house by the Frontier Construction Company. The coaster, built in 1978, was given the name Tornado after a real tornado hit Adventureland before its debut season in July 1974 forcing the opening of the park to be delayed until August of that year.
This Adventureland is located near Des Moines in Altoona, Iowa.

My uncle used to service this coaster back in the early 80s. He even lost part of his thumb on working on it. I remember going to visit him as a kid and thinking this was the biggest coaster I had ever seen
+rantanamo I love this coaster soooo much, I'd give anything to service it. I've ridden almost forty roller coasters and this one is my favorite, even above Outlaw Run at Silver Dollar City. I love how it still has the buzz bars and seatbelts because what I do is I loosen my seatbelt so I can come out of my seat on the hills. Otherwise it hurts because the seatbelt will cut into my lap if I don't. And the last row of this coaster is SUPER INTENSE.
same here, when I frist saw it up close, I was like OMFG!! LOL
it was>>back in it's day>>THE DEADLESS ROSTER COSTER AT AVENTURELAND THEM PARK IN IOWA!!
This ride is the best and it’s also from the. 1970s that’s insane
Nothing like a classic wooden coaster, great video!
I loved going here last summer (was my first time) but it was a VERY bumpy ride. I think if they did a remodel on it like they did with the Timberwolf at worlds of fun it would be a very nice ride
I rode this when it was brand new when I was a kid. I’m glad it’s still there. I’m planning to do it again this weekend with my teenage nephew . I promised him I would ride any coaster in the park he wants to . Which is probably all of them.
My favorite ride. Can't wait to go to adventureland in about 8 days from now so I can ride this again!
I rode this over 35 years ago as a kid. Loved it. I rode it 3 times yesterday. Still loved it
This was one of the first roller coasters I had ever been on, and other comments agree that this is a very bumpy ride. I was about 6’2” on my first run, and while I did have fun, my knees in that little cab being hit against the wall over and over would most likely not concur.
To all the people saying it’s the worst, in recent years the dragon and the outlaw hurt your head WAY more in my opinion 😵🥴 I love the Tornado
During the summers of '81 and '82 (summer break from Iowa State), I was a brake operator for the Tornado. I'm sure they updated or automated the braking system somewhere along the way, but back then the only thing keeping people safe at the end of the ride was 19-20 year old me (or another operator), manually operating 3 brake levers that stuck out of the floor near the entrance to the station at the end of the ride. The brakes were normally closed (spring actuated), and as the coaster came into the station I had to hold open the brakes under the tracks, and slowing close them to slow the cars as they passed through the brakes. If I didn't open them enough, the cars would slam into the brakes at full speed, and that was....BAD. Then as the cars moved through the series of breaks I had to successively open and close each set of brakes until the train slowed to about walking speed while retaining enough momentum to reach the other end of the station platform for de-boarding. Leave them too open and the cars would fly through the station without stopping, which was also....Bad. Oh, and there were 2 trains running at a time back then.
Operating the brakes was kind of an art, since the amount of braking needed varied my how full the cars where, and how heavy the people in them were. The more weight in the cars, the more braking that was needed. Also if it was raining, the brakes got wet and that effected how much braking pressure was needed. It was all mechanical, and I could "feel" the cars moving through the brakes via the levers I was holding, and used my eyes to judge the speed and momentum of the cars.
I never let anyone slam into the brakes too hard, but there were a few times each day that I'd accidentally let the cars release into the station with a tad bit too much speed. The operators at the other end would then run towards the cars and slow them down manually by using their body weight to slow them down to a stop before reaching the end of the station. When you're doing it literally hundreds of times a day (about once per minutes when running two trains), it was inevitable that you'd slip up occasionally.
At the end of this video, I don't see the levers and the brake operator standing at the near end of the platform, so I'd guess that at some point in the later '80's or '90's they automated or computerized the braking function.
Many summers have been spent riding this one over and over.
The out and back layout reminds me a little bit of the Big Dipper BPB
it does a bit!
Please give tornado the RMC treatment. It has a pretty good layout for an RMC topper track development. I understand that its the first roller coaster Adventureland built, but even just a smaller RMC like twisted colossus would be a huge step up in Adventureland's roller coaster lineup. An amazing gerstlauer infinity coaster and an RMC hybrid would be a great 1 2 punch for this park. As RMC's are beginning to be more the craze, and as someone who goes to A-land every year, this could be a great investment for the park and make the park better as a whole to compete with parks like Silver Dollar City, Worlds of Fun, and other parks in the midwest area. Just a thought!
But Tornado get RMC'ed, IS STILL THE NAME TORNADO.
The coaster, built in 1978, was given the name Tornado after a real tornado hit Adventureland before its debut season in July 1974 forcing the opening of the park to be delayed until August of that year. THE TORNADO was also giving that name for the reason was cause the costers flew off its tracks and lucky landed in the ADVENTURELAND BAY of water, no one was hurt or killed from it lucky. THE TORNADO RIDE, is also known as THE DEADLEST RIGHT in the whole park, when it hits it's a QUICK TURN JURK, that send its costers flying from it, in mid air. sence then, ALOT OF WORK was done to the ride, to make it fun and safe now for EVERYONE to enjoy!!
i think you need to get your facts in order fella haha. TORNADO got its name from a tornado hitting the park the year of its "opening", which is what caused the coaster to have a delayed opening till the following season.
after 21 yrs later i WENT THERE and RODE>>THE TORNADIO>>IT STILL THE SHIT OUT OF ME>>ALL THESE YRS!! RIDING this ride!!
I can't wait to ride this again in 1 week It's very fun!
Modify this into a RMC someday #dreams
That would be amazing if they could work something out with RMC. Went to the park last year and Tornado and Outlaw were incredibly rough and not at all enjoyable. They need to do some extensive work on them. I mean, Tornado is nearing 50 years old now...
A tornado RMC would put adventureland on the map. Also would be awesome.
You stupid kids. No. I like it the way it is. These are a dying breed because of you kids.
@@CoasterMan13Official If jerky, bruising and rough af is dying breed then im fine with it dying. I stand by my words... modify this into a RMC!
@@jdpugman634 simpleton...
I love the commentary in the beginning. LOL!
this ride hurt my back so damn much
Language please
@@harpercasey1866 shut the fuck up
It's a rough one
This needs new track in some of the rough spots. Still a fun ride though.
This is my favorite ride at this park. The Sidewinder is my second favorite.
Mycatsmeow2 agreed. Thank you dad for pretty much forcing me to ride the sidewinder last year. I praise you dad.
Ge0zard no. That guy is NOT my dad. My dad doesn't have a youtube account. Sorry to make things questionable. 😔
fallig star
I'm assuming the Monster wasn't born yet when I first watched this video. Because the Monster is actually my favorite ride now.
@@Lifeintheprojects The Falling Star is a snooze fest. Lol
Great POV!!!!
I just went to adventure land today, and rode my first roller coaster (it being this one) and I would 10/10 still recommend
They forgot to hit "No lateral G forces" in NoLimits 2
I love this ride
I had my eyes closed for most of this!
That was my first time riding it
Love this video! :)
I never really noticed how this is just up, down, up, down, up, turn, down, up, down, up, DONE.
back in the 70's it was a SCARY RIDE, cause of what happen to the people on it, when it was frist bilt, flying off of it!!
Urban legend
0:26 man I used to try to reach to grab the branches on that tree it’s the small things that are leaving a big impact I am surprised this tree is still here to this day
I’ve rode this many many times and it is so fun
my mom and I rode this thing a yr later, after it FLEW off its tracks in 1978, we had to sine papers to ride it, that was in 1979, I was 9 yrs old then. I was SOO SCARED!!
Are you still 9 years old?
🧢
Fun Fact: You are supposed to remain seated while riding this roller coaster.
This is my local amusement park but my dad pretty much detests this roller coaster cuz it’s “boring.” He said it’s basically the long lost sister coaster to the Racer at Kings Island, and he has a point, they are similar, but there’s nothing wrong with a classic wooden coaster!
This ride is very fun but I suggest not sitting near the back, it gets very rough. Front car rides are usually smoother.
Once I was sitting in the second to last row of the train and the first drop hurt me really bad and I couldn’t walk after getting out
Did you know that the frontier construction company also made Texas cyclone in six flags astroworld
they also made the white coaster ( high roller) at valley fair minnesota
I LOVE UR VIDEOS
I gotta ride this when I go.
Same I went yestureday I got wet from sometimes
I ride the outlaw and the tornado they are so fun I don’t know who doesn’t like it me and my cousin ride both
right there, is where u would fly off AT!! 1:26
What
The owners of Adventureland said they are going to rmc tornado. Then Iowa will have some actual airtime
Fun fun!
That coaster is so bumpy, but its a great one
this was my first roller coaster so I had to go back to the pov lol
I think this ride shook my fillings loose
Nice roller coaster !!!! But I never been on a wooden roller coaster but I have been steel roller coasters !!!
Yea these wooden roller coasters are really old back in the old days :) but I really want to go on one !!!!
the NASA kid science i recommend you ride a wooden because they are fun!
I have only been on the outlaw and that was 3 years ago and now I’m scared of roller coasters
TORNADO!!!!
it's just so hard for me to enjoy this ride when all the rattling feels like it's pulling my head into my neck
Last time I went to a-land the tornado was closed and the next day we were driving by the ride and it was open
People in background this aint scary then ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh help me i want off! 😂
I'm afraid that The Tornado is entering its final years. When it's taken down, it will be the end of an era.....
I still don't know how to join Coaster Force. please tell me
+Jordan Roy Talks Just go to our website and register. If you don't know how to do that then you're probably too young to join.
i was told that anyone could join. Im 13. so im confused
+Jordan Roy Talks Yes. Anyone can join, but they have to know how to go to our website and register by clicking on the create an account link. BTW most of us were confused when we were 13. ;-)
I hate how much airtime I got on this cause I’m light
I went on the tornado in Iowa and I passed out
No way
@Reese Freeman that roller coaster is from 1978 what do you expect
Out of all the roller coasters in Adventureland, this will always be my least fav. I make myself ride it still because I would be mad at myself if I didn't
I literally hate this ride tho, it literally feels like I’m about to fly out of it 😭😭
I love this ride but it hurts lol.
My mom is 60 and was a kid when this was built gotta be going to shit by this point
I sat in the BACK of the right worst mistake of my life
Me too. It's so rickety, and sitting in the back just amplifies everything. I thought I broke a rib halfway through last time.
I feel ya man.
Sounds about right
It’s a fine ride but bumpy
Why is called the tornado?
@Quinn Ronnenberg oh
Quinn Ronnenberg a tornado back in 1974 hit the the park. This rollercoaster was installed in 1978. It is in the county fair addition of the park.
So sad it burned down :(
@Quinn Ronnenberg yea I went there too I was so happy to figure out it was still there
I love that it says remain seated on the crest of the hill like no shit Sherlock
I remembered i rode this then i had the courage to go o. Ghost rider 😹😹
They could have spent less than Dragon Slayer and turned this into an RMC :(.
Oh I hate this is was crying lol
Me too the first time I rode it. I also closed my eyes the entire time. Then 6 years later, I gave it another go and I loved it
This ride hurts so much, its very rough and will never ride it again
fuck you :)
You wish ;)
Josh Bershon my dreams are broken. You hurt my feelings. THIS IS MY FAVORITE RIDE DUDE!
I love the Tornado! Front car rides are super smooth on this! Although backseat rides are kind of rough. But I actually really liked it. I love classic William Cobb woodies.
The outlaw almost hurts my neck really bad
This coaster sucked, rough, no airtime, no forces
And I had thought it was Adventureland in Farmingdale, NY. 😕 *disappointed*
