Timeline
Background
Twister III: Storm Chaser is Elitch Gardens' CCI wooden twister — a 100-foot skyline woodie with quick helices and a long 4,640-foot layout beside downtown Denver.
Opened in 1995 as Twister II after the park's Platte River relocation, it was rebuilt and rebranded in 2023 with Hensel Phelps work while keeping the classic twister pacing that made it a Colorado landmark.
