#StormChaser has utilized different wheel types since it's debut. Polyurethane, Nylon, and Steel. The ride has increased in speed since the addition of the steel wheels, and many consider it to be a night and day difference that makes especially the end of the coaster a completely different experience. Because of the less friction with steel wheels, the ride is able to carry more speed throughout the layout.

Storm Chaser replaced Twisted Twins, a dueling wooden coaster that opened in 1998 as "Twisted Sisters." It featured two roller coaster tracks that departed from opposite ends of a single station. A lot of the supports from Twisted Twins were reused during construction of Storm Chaser, the second new coaster following T3 to open at Kentucky Kingdom since the park reopened under new management in 2014. It was nominated for the Golden Ticket Award of Best New Ride For 2016, and placed second behind another RMC-built coaster, Lightning Rod.
