Greatest Impulse out there! The double twisting towers and the height is what makes this coaster better than the rest.

I've done three Impulse coasters, and this one was by far the best.

Wicked Twister is my number 3 roller coaster of all time. If the line wasn't so long, I would have ridden it all day. I love the fact that the ride is almost all on the beach. The best part is when the train gets propelled to the back spike. I can't wait to go to CP to ride this one again. ;)

Come on! the lines aren't that long, they were only 20 minutes when I went there. I went there in 6/29/04 This is in my number 1 steel spot along with half a dozen other steels. They are just so awesome in their unique ways. the twists are purely amazing, good airtime on top of the towers (unexpected) and an intense boost makes this one of my favorite steels of all time.

I've never been on a first generation Impulse, but WT is awesome. The second time you go up the first hill is an amazing jump! You come back down from going backwards and all of a sudden you blast off even faster. Great ride!

F*ck, this ride is INSANE! I love everything about it, but mostly on the fourth launch backwards in the very back seat, at the very top of that spike, you feel like there isnt even a train! and in the front on the third launch......looks like your goin off the end. GREAT GREAT GREAT!

This coaster is so much better than V2 at Great America. I love the height and speed. Fifth Best at Cedar Point.

Short wait, and going up the spikes were crazy. I thought the train was going to just fly over the spike. Amazing ride.

The best impulse coaster out there. I love riding this one over and over when the park closes. There are no lines! Also, one of my favorite beach coasters, the sand below is a really neat feature. A must ride if you are at the Point!
