Shivering Timbers
A Solid Mile of Adrenaline and Fun
At a half-mile out and a half-mile back in just two minutes and 30 seconds, Shivering Timbers is a solid mile of pure adrenaline, excitement and fun! The signature ride at Michigan’s Adventure, this classic wooden roller coaster holds the record as the longest and fastest in the state.
After hopping into a seat and strapping in, you climb, climb, climb to a dizzying height of 125 feet and then plunge down a whopping 122 feet at a 55-degree angle, leaving your stomach far behind you. During the remainder of the thrill-fest, you’ll reach a top speed of 65 miles per hour and face a wild array of gravity-defying lifts and hair-raising turns – not to mention an abundance of air time.
Height Requirement: 48" minimum
