| It's everything Cedar Point is famous for. It's what you see everywhere you look. It's what Cedar Point has the biggest variety of. It's the highest priority of the managers. And with 16 of them, they are Cedar Point. |

| For Cedar Point's 15th roller coaster, the developers wanted to try something a little different, yet traditional. They decided to put in their first launched coaster. Though they did not want to build a coaster that was astronomically expensive, they still wanted to keep the tradition of record breakers that they were constantly adding. The way they |
| managed to do this was |
| making it the tallest, fastest, and only "double-twisting" impulse coaster, meaning both spikes had some twistage on it. Before Wicked Twister, all other impulse coasters (meaning launched through the station several times) only had twist on the front spike, and Wicked Twister was the first to have a twist on both spikes, thus dubbing it a "double-twisting impulse coaster". Though the ride operators count down from 3 for the launch, it can still be very unexpected, and the adreniline rush is absolutely amazing, not too mention watching both the sky and the ground spin from under you. All in all, it makes for one fatastic ride. |
