Timber Twister, the alpine coaster at Spirit Mountain, opened to the public Thursday. Riders race along a 3,200-foot track through the forest and down the mountain in individual coaster cars. Riders can travel alone or in pairs, and have complete control of their speed (up to 26 mph) for a truly unique, hands-on experience. Unlike an alpine slide, the coaster makes hairpin turns, is elevated off the ground like a roller coaster and operates year-round due to its unique track system. At the end of the ride down the mountain, guests will settle back in their cars for a scenic return trip to the top. The complete Timber Twister experience takes riders on a six-minute journey while overlooking Lake Superior. Ronnie Case/For the Budgeteer
