certifiedcoastergeek Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 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! I think the additional length comes from the extra height added to the ride, especially on that insane airtime alley after the first overbank.

Ed Farmer Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 The amount of elements they were able to cram into this layout is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastin_dude Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 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. Awesome! That means the airtime will be out of this world! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PVA62 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Love the look of the trains. Looks like it will be a lot of fun, RMC always delivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoinItForTheFame Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I love the excitement of the riders in that promotional image. They are all in the proper riding position. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollerManic Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I'm not surprised by the barrel roll drop. It was pretty apparent to me when they began work and cut away so much of the top of the drop that it would be a barrel roll drop. BUT THOSE TRAINS.

thrilladdict Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I'm glad to see that the new 2018 RMC trains still lack OTSR's... unlike their Raptor trains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thrilladdict Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I wasn't slamming them or being unduly negative, just pointing it out. I think they're there for capacity reasons mostly on the raptors anyways. You have to admit that it would be sad to see the big RMC's w/ that situation.

Canobie Coaster Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Wow Twisted Timbers looks amazing! I think it will be nice to have more of an out-and-back style RMC with all those straight air-time hills for a change. I already needed to make a return trip to Busch Gardens so this seals Virginia for my plans next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wheel & chassis setup is a little different (think like NTAG and Iron Rattler's trains), but I believe the bodies/seats/restraints are essentially the same.

RAWKIN_coaster38 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I like the similarity in plotline and name to Mystic Timbers! However, I don't see any mention of a shed, so how will we be introduced to the "thing" in the fields? Looks like a great coaster and I'll definitely try to plan another KD trip next year!

Intimidator305 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I know a lot of the shed is sarcasm, but for those that do not know, the shed in the field within the renderings is a Haunt maze building to prevent confusion. To me, this looks amazing! It is even better than I imagined. Between the overbank replacing the first turn and those very small airtime "humps", this is going to much wilder than the POV makes it seem. Personally, I love the theme and the attempt to try and fit it in the 50's-esque area of Candy Apple Grove, while also giving the ride its own identity. I also love the unique look of the station from what I have seen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedarFanboy Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I wonder if Twisted Timber will be a candidate for ERT for passholders. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intimidator305 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 ^ I would say it'll be in the rotation with Volcano and Intimidator 305 remaining on the early ride time lists. I would also think it is safe to say that Twisted Timbers will be included in WinterFest's attractions since from the promo video it looked like Americana and the Carousel will be weather permitting.

I actually wish they would reconfigure those RMC seats. They could be much more comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just check out any of the animations for Twisted Timbers or Steel Vengeance, and take a look at the wheel bogies. The cars ride on two wheel per side instead of the usual one, and the bodies seem to be elevated a bit more off the track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
