T3 has enough of the red hues to last the park for years. I'm rooting for lime green and teal ala Fury 325. Although I wonder if they'll go with the original train colors....

 

That picture shows a perfect place for a high-five. Except now, since the trains are in different directions, they could have actual high-fives!

Yum. Looks like cotton candy.

 

 

I like to call it Cotton Candy and Peppermint. 20 Bonus Points if you can tell me where that line came from.

 

 

Would they call the ride Double Trouble or Triple Trouble?

[mudvayneimn]

My vote goes for Double Trouble....always liked that name versus Twisted Sisters/Twins.

[RollerManic]

Twisted Tyrants, just sayin'.

[moneygrabber]

Twisted Tyrants and Double Trouble both sound really good, but I think I'm leaning towards Double Trouble, it sounds more sleek to me.

[Nwstone]

Double trouble has a kiddie sound to me, I would still prefer Twisted Twins.

[lbeeler]

Just as long as it lives up to the name I'm cool.

[Nwstone]

Oh my god I don't know how much longer I can wait, the anticipation is killing me.

I can't wait to plaster this all over my facebook and annoy the crap out of my friends about this! It's my favorite part about local parks announcing big rides

I'm seeing a KK/Holiday World trip in '16 on the horizon

[RollerManic]

Ive already got SFStL and HW on the calendar for Coaster Con 2016, and it looks like I'll be adding KK. Though, i really want to and could go this year.

I believe Ed Hart originally wanted to call it Double Trouble.

[mudvayneimn]

Yep, it was either Double Trouble or Twisted Sisters, they ended up with Twisted Sisters....too bad they didn't go with the original, then they wouldn't have had to deal with the whole Twisted Sister mess....

[TheSkysTheLimit]

Ed Hart planned to call it "Double Trouble" but when Six Flags took over the park they changed it to "Twisted Sister".

[The Geek Mojo]

What is it with Ed Hart and 80's bands? Twisted Sister he couldn't use because of the 80's band by that name. Double Trouble is also an 80's band formed by the late guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan...So he may not be able to use that name either. Pick a name that's not band Ed.

[The Geek Mojo]

I also think the name Twisted Twins is out because RMC has a different name so far for all their coasters and Twisted is already being used by SFMM. I know it's not really up to RMC...KK will name it whatever they want. But I hope for something else. Glad for KK, I'll definitely be there in 2016 to check out RMC's latest creation.

[Firechaser]

^^Ed Hart was never going to use the name Twisted Sisters. He sold the park to Six Flags before it opened and they named it Twisted Sisters.

^They opened it as Twisted Sisters, but the band threatened to sue the park due to the name use. That's when it was changed to Twisted Twins.

[lbeeler]

If anyone goes by the park today look at the top of TT lift hill. Idk if they're measuring something but it looks like they're adding steel.

[RollerManic]

Probably getting ready to put on the ledgers. They cant raise the ride anymore because theyre locked at 80 ft.

[moneygrabber]

Will this be the shortest RMC? I'm sure they can work their glorious magic on this ride, but it sucks that they can only work with 80 feet.

[grsupercity]

Height doesn't make the ride. TT already has 2 lift hills, so it can be a double lift like TC. IF rmc gets there hands on TT, I bet it would be another great coaster for KK and give them a nice 1 2 3 punch.

Tbh Twisted Colossus seems very short to me. The only reason it seems longer is because of the joint tracks.
