The Whirlwind was a steel racer roller coaster at Olentangy Park, built in 1909. It was designed by Harry G. Traver who also invented the Circle Swing and Tumble Bug. The Whirlwind racer remained in operation until 1933 when it was dismantled to make room for the Baseball Diamond and Horseshoe Courts.
It was built in the northwest corner of the park, west of the Shoot-the-Chutes and north of Fair Japan and later, the Swimming Pool and Band Shell.
