Back at Great America, Vertical Velocity was my FAVORITE ride and I said nothing could quite compare to it (even the overrated Raging Bull). However, when you go to Cedar Point, Wicked Twister is still better than Vertical Velocity and yet it is still not the best coaster at the park. Conformity? It has the same track/similar OTS as Maverick (albeit Maverick has a wider OTS), so you can be the judge. I find it smooth but jerky at points since you are just going straight up and going straight down. Now Twister is one of the rides at the park, where if you are disappointed with the coaster itself; the view on it will make up for some of that dissatisfaction (also ride Force/TTD/Gatekeeper for views as well). Now here is the cool part; most impulse coasters only twist at one spiral, however this twists at both, which adds to the thrill. While not scary (I do not find any ride at Cedar Point downright terrifying), it is VERY intense for the ascend and twist on both spikes. Launches I have gotten used to, especially thanks to Dragster for prepping me with its 120 miles per hour. The lines on this one is very short so ride while you can!
