Whirlwind is a steel roller coaster that utilizes a traditional chain lift hill to elevate riders before a gravity-driven descent. The course includes a sequence of two back-to-back corkscrew inversions which navigate a compact footprint. The train travels through banked turns and a concluding helix before entering the friction brake run at the station.
