Whirlwind is a steel roller coaster formerly located at Knoebels Amusement Resort. It is a standard production model Vekoma Whirlwind double corkscrew roller coaster, featuring a 64 foot lift hill, and a pair of corkscrews separated by a turn. Overall track length is 1184 feet. Whirlwind opened at Playland (New York) in 1984 and operated there until 1992. The ride opened at Knoebel's in 1993, replacing the Jet Star. The Whirlwind was removed after the 2004 season. The Whirlwind was removed from Knoebel's due to space constraints at the park. After being removed, the ride was moved to Parque de Diversiones Dr. Roberto Ortiz Brenes in Costa Rica, now called "Bocaraca." The coaster was the only Vekoma corkscrew coaster in the USA to feature two separate corkscrew elements. [http://www.knoebels.com/history.htm#jetstar]
