viking86 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Very impressive layout! I like that they kept a couple of "bigger hills" on the stretch after the first turn, making the ride a good combination of sustained airtime and lots of short bursts of airtime. I can now die happy. This baby looks a-ma-zing. At least wait until you have ridden it first! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastin_dude Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I'm getting Lightning Rod vibes from this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VACoasterdude Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Looks like a great addition to KD's lineup. Platinum Pass a must for 2018. Has anybody compared the clues released over the last several Tuesdays, to the announcement today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keetz Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 The ride looks amazing, everything I could want. Barrel roll drop , consecutive ejector hills , funky turn around elements, and it's at KD! The name is okay... I think I might call it Scissoring Timbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
805Andrew Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Yay! Another RMC. Looks awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Maier Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Looks like I'll be making a trip down to KD for this (as well as Volcano, Intimidator 305, etc) Which do you think has the better layout . . . Steel Vengeance or Twisted Timbers ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoinItForTheFame Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I'm getting Lightning Rod vibes from this. As in only open about 5% of the time...?? #TooSoon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyUD06 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Was anything said about Winterfest other than that there will be one in 2018? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boldikus Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Was anything said about Winterfest other than that there will be one in 2018? I'm still very curious to know what coasters will be open for it. Did anyone catch anything about that? Did I just miss it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Was anything said about Winterfest other than that there will be one in 2018? Not really. There's a Winterfest site up but it's just as vague as all of the other ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intimidator305 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 ^^ Just "some of your favorite rides" is what I've seen/heard. Similar to what KI is doing opening Mystic Timbers, I imagine it'll be most of International Street (perhaps Dominator), Planet Snoopy, Old Virginia (without water rides and Grizzly) and the southern end of Candy Apple Grove featuring rides like Twisted Timbers, the Carousel, Americana, etc. KD's website has a photo of Americana/Carousel and the description reads "select rides and attractions will be open for family and friends to enjoy together (weather pending).

boldikus Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Its a shame that I305 is unlikely to open purely due to its location so far from International Street and other areas that likely will be open for the event, as (while its an Intamin with a cable lift) I don't think they'd have to worry about it valleying due to cold weather - that thing hauls into the brake run. They could just turn off the trim on that first camelback if it was a worry. Though I can't even begin to imagine what the cold air would feel like on your face going those speeds.

Regardless, WinterFest is a great addition! I305 never had a chance of running anyway because of it's location, but don't read too far into that. Worlds of Fun's site says the same thing and they're running Patriot and Spinning Dragons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainUnknown Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Of the three potential big trips I have planned next year, Twisted Timbers just shot BGW/KD to front-runner. I can only imagine that airtime in the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitro1118 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 (edited) TT looks amazing! Almost reminds me of RMC's take on a Balder-type coaster. I just really hope with the new trains that it won't lose momentum like some of the other smaller RMC's (which is apparently only an issue randomly at different points of the season, regardless of weather). Either way this thing will have insane amounts of aurtime and is a perfect compliment to I305. Edited August 16, 2017 by Nitro1118 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterAuditor Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 The facebook comments on the parks official page make me want to jump out of a window. I get like the GP doesn't know or care what an RMC is but they really have no idea how good of a ride TT will likely be and they're just trashing it. EDIT: Sorry! Just had to vent about that for a minute. Too many angry negative hateful people on social media. Need to remember Facebook comments are essentially poison to the mind.

viking86 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 The comments about the ride being "not very safe" due to the lack of OTSR always gives me a good laugh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBpony414 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. As cool as Steel Vengeance is, I'm also really excited for Twisted Timbers due to its fairly simple out-and-back layout with lots of bunny hills. Can't wait to get on TT and SV next year! My only two RMC coasters are Twisted Colossus and Lightning Rod and both were awesome so adding 2 more is gonna be a blast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

palmerleeberry Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I thought my recent visit to KINGS DOMINION earlier this month would have been my last, but with the announcement of TWISTED TIMBERS has motivated me to lose some weight and get myself fit ( for the record I still have what it takes to ride, but only if I can fit into the restraints. I can still fit into the restraints for Intimidator 305 and Delirium and RMC coasters use lap restraints, but I want to lose twenty pounds so I can be positive I'll fit into all the seats. If I succeed I'll reward myself with a Platinum Pass!). Besides the inversions, it's nice to see that they are keeping this coaster as a triple out-and back like the old Hurler was.
