Corkscrew is the name of a three-loop coaster at Valleyfair in Shakopee, Minnesota. Until the hypercoaster Wild Thing (the fifth highest and fastest roller coaster in the world at the time it opened in 1996), Corkscrew was the only outdoor all-steel roller coaster in Minnesota. The Corkscrew is currently the only roller coaster at Valleyfair with an inverted or corkscrew section. It is nearly identical to the one at Cedar Point except for its helix at the end of the ride.
