Great ride. The lauch is the best part! Its about 50 mph. I actually think the middle of the ride gives you the best amount of twisting because you go kinda far both ways. It seems super fast when you pass the people waiting in line. The wait is also really fast. I would definetly recommend this ride.

Very fun roller coaster. I recommend either sitting in the very front or the back. The middle doesnt really give you a lot of twisting action. What confused me was that the front had no twisting on the back tower, but the back had some twisting on the front tower. ?? I still prefer the front because you can see the end of the track coming toward you. The launch looks wimpy, but is actually pretty good!

I like the double twist even more than the single twist. The best place to sit is in the back in my opinion. This ride is great, I love to ride it a lot when I go to Cedar Point. Out of all of the roller coasters at Cedar Point I probably ride this second most, only behind Gemini. definently a must ride at Cedar Point!

Wicked Twister is all well and good...but only from the very front. If you sit anywhere except at the point, you dont get any kind of view and it really almost sucks. Fast can only make a ride so entertaining. On top of that, why the double twists? Vertical Velocity over at Six Flags Chicago stops you on the backswing and dangles you for a second. Now thats awesome. This is too quick to be really enjoyable.

I thought that this ride was good, but not great. I saw a bunch of 9s and 10s, but had to ask myself "why?". Yea, the launch is nice and quick, but thats sort of common nowadays. The two twisting vertical spikes were, well, dull. Its one thing to do that going down a coaster like TTD, but this was nothing all to special- I was mildy thrilled by launching up the towers.

What a great new addision to CP!! Its a fun impulse coaster though not very intense. Just the whole look of it adds something to the park. The only part i didnt like about it was not the ride it self but the weather. There i was in a wet bikini with thin shorts and a tank top standing in line at night in 40 degree weather. Yea that part was miserable and throw some sand in with it. I was half blinded by sand flying in my eyes and i was glad when we made it to the station for some shelter at last. Man can this thing fly. When your in line about to ride next that thing flys through the station at 72 mph rite past u. That kinda got me scared cause i never have ridden WT before. I got into my seat and buckled up. Before i could get comfortable i heard "launching in 3...2...1. The launch is fun but not at all what ppl claim to say that TTD is like even tho i havent experienced that yet but i will. It gets a little old after a while going back and forth but i had an excellent time neway. Definetly worth the miserable wait i had!! Gota ride this one!!

In my opinion this ride wasnt as good as other impulse coasters such as V2. I dont know why but I just like the brakes on the vertical part of that ride. But dont get me wrong this is an intese ride in itself and the backwards spiral will make you feel disoriented I still like the breaks.

Wicked Twister is a great impulse but first, I must say, unlike a lot of other people, I dont think its better than Steel Venom/TCFKA Superman: Ultimate Escape (Geauga Lake/SFWoA) which just happens to be the only other impulse Ive experienced. The only difference is that...and mostly everyone is aware of this...Steel Venom/TCFKA S:UE has a vertical spike on the backward run vs. Wicked Twisters twisted spike. I think the extreme free-fall sensation beat it out. That was intense and truly was nerve-racking. WTs backward incline is more fun than anything. Thats just me, though. Anyway, focusing on Wicked Twister, the launch is, not surprisingly, powerful and you can feel the LIMs propelling and moving the train every time you journey back through the station. Its an exciting experience thats fun mixed in with a touch of intimidation and a bit of scariness. Going up the backward spike at top speed is probably the climax of the scariness and is extremely disorientating. Heavy laterals push on your body and whip you around the twist. The forward spike is great but the backward spike is definitly the best part of Wicked Twister and sets it apart from its sisters that have the vertical incline. Its an excellent thrill that it would do good not to miss and, becausde of that and its short ride time (one of the rides obvious cons), should be experienced more than once. Dont wait too long for it though: Its good but its, of course, no MF, Magnum, Raptor or Mantis. Still WT should be on you list as one to ride at Cedar Point

I loved this ride. The launch is very nice (though certainly not with the power of TTD). I liked spinning up the tower and then stopping and reversing. Very nice ride with a great view, on and off the ride.

This ride was pretty amazing, theres not much to talk about but the 70mph launch feels like nothing after going on TTD, but the ride is really amazing and is in my top 10
