Desert Storm at RCDB

Desert Storm is a double looping roller coaster located at Castles N' Coasters, an amusement park in Phoenix, Arizona.[1] It is one of the two roller coasters there, the other being the smaller Patriot roller coaster. Desert Storm passes over top of the Li'l Indy go-cart track and extremely close to Splashdown, the park's log flume. The track has a green and white color scheme and the queue line passes by the Flying Bugs and Spinning Tops kiddie rides, climbs stairs and enters the boarding area.

Desert Storm is also briefly featured in the Macgillivray Freeman film Dream Big.
