Tiki Twirl (formerly Survivor: The Ride!) is an amusement ride at California's Great America in Santa Clara, California. Prior to losing the Survivor theming, it was based on the television series Survivor. The riders were separated into four tribes who do tribal chants and rituals to spray water on the other tribe. The ride opened in 2006. The track is on a non-continuous circuit, at the end of which a fireball was shot into the air spraying hot air at the passengers.
The ride had many operational difficulties in the beginning of the season. Many times the ride would close for the rest of the day due to technical difficulties. In the line for the ride they have posters for the first 12 seasons of Survivor that show the logo and the tribes for each season.
Survivor: The Ride! was renamed Tiki Twirl in February, 2011.
