Corkscrew is a steel roller coaster located at Silverwood Theme Park, and previously located at Knott's Berry Farm. When Corkscrew originally opened it held the world record for most inversions on a roller coaster and is considered to be the first modern inverting roller coaster.[2]
This corkscrew is the prototype which was erected at Arrow's factory in California.
