Tidal Twister’s two trains will seat 16 riders each — facing forward and backward. The two trains will load at opposite ends of the figure-8-shaped track.
During the course of the ride, they will cross at the center — one train upright and one inverted below in the zero-G roll.
Tidal Twister will be the world’s first “Horizon” ride from Skyline Attractions.
Rendering of Skyline Attractions’ Harley Quinn Crazy Coaster at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom.
When asked how and why the Horizon model was designed, Yerdon said:
We get a lot of requests from customers who say, ‘we want Skywarp, but we want it bigger.’ Or ‘we don’t have enough room for a Skywarp…’
We said, ‘what can we do in that same tradition as Skywarp? Something that would feel like that same family but would fit inside?’
That’s where Horizon came about. Something that’s very small, fits in a 55’x120’ space, still lives under that 30’ ceiling, but is still awesome. It’s a thrill ride. It’s a roller coaster. It has that corkscrew with an airtime hill right over the top of it. And that’s ultimately how Horizon came to be.
We reported in July that SeaWorld San Diego was believed to be the recipient of one of these attractions.
A relatively low height requirement of 48 inches means that Tidal Twister will be a ride that families can experience together.

the promo pic makes it look a lot like an rmc trex
I’m actually pretty sure that it is rmc trex track… actually I found the article from coaster101 :
https://www.coaster101.com/2017/11/08/how-skyline-attractions-developed-skywarp/
These look like they would be very fun rides. Make me wonder what an all steel coaster from rmc would look like.
It is RMC TRex. This should be the second ride to use it after Harley Quinn.
