DOUGLAS FIR DELIVERS COASTER CUSTOMER TO CHEMONITE@

J.H. Baxter provided 550,000 board feet of Chemonite treated Douglas fir for the Twister II roller coaster. The large volume tested the performance of everyone involved, but the schedule was met with J.H. Baxter integrating components into the treating schedule for more than two months until the job was complete. t one time or another, everyone has experienced the excitement of a scream-filled roller coaster ride. For over a century, Elitch Garden's Twister I, rated as one of the top ten coasters in the world, has delivered riders thrill after thrill, without fail. When Elitch moved to a new location near Denver's Mile High Stadium, they decided to build a new roller coaster.

Put in service on Memorial Day of 1995, the Twister II is now providing riders 3,400 feet of fast-paced thrills.

From the beginning, Twister II was a challenge to vendors. Twenty tons of nuts and bolts, five tons of nails and 3,250 gallons of paint were required. After considering the possibility of steel construction, Elitch Gardens chose to stay with the beauty, flexibility and proven reliability of wood. They also decided to stay with their original supplier, Denver's Kellogg Lumber. Chemonite was named the preservative of choice. Laboratory comparisons show Chemonite is the superior wood preservative for treating Douglas fir. It's the only waterborne preservative that penetrates deep enough to assure compliance with AWPA and state and local standards.

Performance on Schedule

Since the roller coaster is a centerpiece in the park's new construction, it had to be completed on schedule without complications or timely setbacks.

For over half a century, Chemonite has provided unparalleled protection of Douglas fir, and other hard-to-treat wood, against decay and wood-destroying insects. sUBsc^R|PT|oNsU.S.:.$11oneysar;$17.twoyeafs;$!2-threeyears.Foreign:meyearpay Equ_E:$1f!_t!lte.Jt a$ilabls, plus shipping and handling.
