The first wood coaster at Adventureland is Tornado. Tornado debuted on July, 4th 1978 during Adventureland's 3rd full season. It was designed by William Cobb and at the time was considered one of the top 10 wooden roller coasters in the world. It was named Tornado because a tornado hit the park causing a delay in opening in 1974. When the ride premiered, advertising exclaimed "Another tornado has hit Adventureland"!
The Outlaw wooden roller coaster debuted on April 24, 1993 with the opening of the new section of the park named Outlaw Gulch. This new area has a wild west theme. The Outlaw was built by Custom Coasters International.
