Tornado is a wooden roller coaster located at Stricker's Grove in Ross, Ohio, USA. The ride is a mirror image of the former Comet at Rocky Glen in Moosic, Pennsylvania, USA.
History
Construction started in November 1990. It finished in June 1993.[1]
Stricker's Grove purchased the trains from Tornado at Petticoat Junction in Panama City, Florida, USA to use on this ride. The used trains were in poor condition and new trains were ultimately purchased instead.[1]
