So Cedar Fair is going all on the the (Blank) Timbers theme I guess.

 

2019 Timber Wolf becoems Terrific Timbers for Worlds of Fun

2020 Grizzly at Great America to become Magnificent Timbers

2021 Dorney park to build new family coaster Tiny Timbers

 

"Timbers" is the new "Hawk" --- and I'm okay with that....

Intimidator 305 is enough to make me take a long trip to this park, but 20 airtime moments and many more crazy RMC elements? A park has never shot up my bucket list like this ever.

This will tie the Candy Apple Grove and Old Virginia areas together very nicely. Much more than I expected from the same park that put FoF, Backlot, and I305 in the "Safari Village".

Looks like RMC El Toro

Uhhhh... okay?

Great announcement as expected, can't wait to see an HD video of it! And hopefully I can visit and help bring my count up to 100 during the trip!

I was planning on trying to get down there in the fall, but I'm happily pushing that back til 2018. This is a great park, and this will be a great addition.

Twisted Timbers looks fantastic! I am most surprised by the ride's length! What a great addition to the park.

 

The POV if I'm looking correctly makes it seem they have extended the structure beyond the original Hurler layout? I could be wrong but can't wait to see the actual layout!

Timber Hawk hurler conversion, new for Carowinds in 2019.

Something interesting to note.... Twisted Timbers' cars are not typical RMC trains. Each car runs on two road wheels per side, whereas typical RMCs run on one per side. Just something I noticed. They are almost built more like the Gerstlauer trains on NTAG and IR.

RMC said that all of their 2018 coasters would have a new train design.

Oh! I must have missed that. Thanks.

In an interview, RMC said that the 2018 US coasters would be getting new train design, or something along those lines.

I think the additional length comes from the extra height added to the ride, especially on that insane airtime alley after the first overbank.

Awesome! That means the airtime will be out of this world!
