The Tornado is a steel inverted roller coaster at the Parque de Atracciones de Madrid in Casa de Campo, Madrid, Spain. Manufactured by Intamin, it opened on May 23, 1999.[1][2]

Description

Tornado is an inverted roller coaster with a length of 2,624.7 feet (800 meters) and a height of 98 feet.[1][2] It is unusual among inverted roller coasters made by Intamin in using a chain lift rather than a magnetic launcher.[3] It features 3 inversions, 2 loops, a corkscrew, and a 30m drop to 80 km/h.[2]

The ride was designed by Ingenieur Büro Stengel GmbH and opened on May 23, 1999.[2] It is one of five rides at the park that form the subject of physics problems in a student workbook that won the Madrid award for teaching materials.[4]

Ride experience

When Tornado starts, the coaster exits the station and goes up a lift hill. Riders then drop {{convert|30|m}} and reach a speed of {{convert|80|km/h}} before entering the first loop, followed by the second. The coaster then goes through a corkscrew, which is one of the inversions. It then goes into 2 or 3 helices before going through the brake run, which takes riders back into the station, where the ride ends. The ride lasts 2 minutes.

Controversies

In June 2009 the ride was temporarily closed because it was so popular with teenagers that there was risk of an accident.[5] In 2011, a complaint that noise from the park exceeded legal limits singled out the Tornado as even noisier than two newer roller coasters in the same park, the Tarántula and the Abismo.[6]
