Twist n' Shout

The ride was designed by Anton Schwarzkopf as one of his Silverarrow model looping coasters. Only three of these were ever built: Twist n' Shout, Scorpion at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay in America, and the other is said to be in a travelling funfair in Africa. Purchased by the Bembom family, the ride debuted at OK Corral, in France, in the early 1980's, before being moved to the United Kingdom in 1987, where it then operated at the Ocean Beach Amusement park in Rhyl, North Wales. In 1989, the ride was moved to Camelot Theme Park in Lancashire, England, and was rebranded as the Tower of Terror. The ride was themed around a castle, which concealed the loop, and was one of the park's most popular…

Twist n' Shout has a fairly simple and twisted layout involving a single vertical loop as the signature element. After the train is carried 60 feet into the air, riders twist down a drop and pass through the single vertical loop element. Following the loop, the train goes through a pretzel turnaround and threads the vertical loop. The train circles around a 900° helix and enters the brake run. Twist n' Shout is one of only 3 remaining Silver Arrow Coasters designed by Anton Schwarzkopf – the other two being Scorpion at Busch Gardens Tampa, and Looping Star which is part of a travelling funfair called "Magic World" in Africa.
