Adventureland's signature ride. A classic out-n-back coaster.
Some days they run only one train and you can ride again as soon as you can run down the exit ramp and back up to the queue.
The old queue is huge! In this carport type area that could be torn down and used for one of Adventureland's crappy midway rides that take up room for some decent rides.
Tornado has good air time on hot days, but went once in Sept. and was scared that the train couldn't make it over the second hill.
This coaster is a lot of fun and needs to be rode more.

Tornado can either be really good or really mediocre, and it all depends on the day. There are a couple fantastic drops (one on the way out, and one off of the turnaround), but other than that, the airtime is basically what you would expect.
Sit in the back. Always. It's not rough enough that you can't stand it for thirty seconds or so.
