History
Construction on Wicked Twister started on October 15, 2001 when the Stadium Games, formerly the Aquarium, were razed. Wicked Twister was officially announced about a month later on November 20. The first pieces of steel were erected on December 15 and the first piece of track was installed four days later. The first test run occurred on April 2, 2002.

Wicked Twister's media day was held on May 2, 2002 and the roller coaster opened to the public on May 5. Additional supports were added to the ride's structure for the 2003 season. Two yellow supports were added to each spike to connect the track to the top of the main support structure.
