The Tornado is a classic wooden roller coaster featuring a double out-and-back layout. After ascending the chain lift hill, the train descends into a series of hills and drops designed to provide airtime for riders. The track follows the perimeter of the terrain, utilizing a traditional lattice structure and wooden bents. Passengers experience moderate lateral forces as the train navigates several banked turns.
