Aaaaand I just noticed that your original comment was a reply to someone bringing up the Lakeside Cyclone... I thought that you thought that Twister III and Cyclone were the same ride (sorry lol). Naturally I'd make an ass of myself with my first comment on Lemmy 😂
The linked rcdb page in the original comment is for a coaster called Cyclone at Lakeside Amusement Park in Denver. It's the same area as Elitch Gardens, which is where Twister III is located. They're both white wooden coasters with twisted layouts, but they're two different rides.
Same city, but different coaster. The coaster you linked Cyclone at Lakeside Amusement Park, which is a separate location from Elitch Gardens. I've had the chance to ride both Cyclone and Twister II, and I definitely preferred Cyclone. Not much airtime, but it has a few fun drops and some amazing laterals. Although the neighborhood isn't the nicest, the park itself is a very scenic location surrounded by a little lake and several vintage flatrides.
(Plus, Lakeside also features a rare Miler Manufacturing steel wild-mouse coaster from the 50s. It has some great little bunny hills that are absolutely insane with the ride's lack of restraints.)
Is there a reason for the short trains or was it always that way?
