Wind Chaser

Designed by Alan Schilke and manufactured by Rocky Mountain Construction (RMC) at an estimated cost of $10 million, the ride opened to the public on April 30, 2016.

It features three inversions, a 78-degree drop, and a maximum speed of 52 mph (84 km/h) utilizing RMC's patented I-Box track technology.

[2] Weeks after the deal was finalized in November 1997, the new operators announced plans to build a $5-million dueling roller coaster, called Double Trouble, in time to open during the 1998 season.

[2][6] In 2002, the heavy metal band Twisted Sister threatened the park with legal action regarding the name of the roller coaster.

[8] Amid corporate bankruptcy on February 4, 2010, Six Flags announced that the park would cease operations immediately following the rejection of an amended lease by the Kentucky State Fair Board.

[13][14][15][16] On February 23, 2012, the Kentucky Fair Board approved a lease agreement which would see the park operate as Bluegrass Boardwalk.

[19][20] Rocky Mountain Construction was eventually hired to refurbish the roller coaster with their patented IBox track design.

In July 2015, Kentucky Kingdom announced plans to name the renovated ride Storm Chaser and open it during the 2016 season.

[29] According to park officials, Wind Chaser utilized some components of Twisted Twins' structure as a budgetary feature, but is otherwise a completely new experience.
