Wicked Twister is a steel inverted shuttle coaster featuring two vertical spikes that twist 450 degrees. The ride uses linear induction motors to launch the train forward and backward out of the station, gaining height with each pass. Riders sit in seats suspended beneath the track with their feet dangling as they accelerate toward the sky. The experience consists of multiple oscillating cycles before the train eventually slows to a stop back at the platform.
