DoinItForTheFame Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 According to the park, the ride has already developed a rattle. Oh god... I can already hear the complaints rolling in... "Did you notice the rattle on Twisted Timbers?? I know its new... but I could feel it... Now that I think about it I felt the same thing on New Texas Giant, Iron Rattler, and Outlaw Run."

bill_s Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I was already thinking the cars will look good in real life, seeing the vid I'm thinking the truck front isn't very big. Extreme closeups import no sense of scale. Looking at the video and scrolling twitter, delicious. I think people will be able to find it with that sign .. Would they flip a "T" at the last minute?

MiningForGold Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Wow. They're really going all out with the theme on this ride. I mean... so far they made a sign that says the name of the ride in plain, Helvetica font and out it on the roof of a rectangular metal building. Look at the bottom left of the FB picture... they're building a pretty substantial faux-brick entrance there, and apparently some covered structures in that pavilion area as well. Thank you, that's what I was referring to. The station is still a bit of an eyesore but from what I can see, the new entrance looks great. It’s getting a paint job.

WolfBobs Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Fastlane question here for the KD locals and regulars. Does KD offer the perk for Platinum Pass holders to purchase the FL+ band for the FL price in park? I've searched through most of KD's website and have found no mention of this discount perk for the pass. I know it's offered at CP and until very recently not advertised on the website as well. Thanks in advanced for any help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymouscactus Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 ^ Unfortunately I believe Cedar Point is the only Cedar Fair park with that perk. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I'm not sure, but if you show your Platinum Pass you're going to get a discount anyway since it gives you a discount on pretty much everything so I'd think it would work out about the same wouldn't it?

WolfBobs Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 ^^Possible, the Pass discount is usually 10% off merch and food. Whereas the Pass discount is the FL+ for the FL price which can be a pretty significant discount at Point with their FL prices. I believe it usually works out to be a 20-30% discount depending on the day. Guess I'll find out soon enough when the park opens and people start going in a month!

MiningForGold Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Are the crowds going to be horrible on the 24th? I’ve seen KD get through trains pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ytterbiumanalyst Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I predict there will be zero non-employees at the park on Feb. 24th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterGuy06 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Are the crowds going to be horrible on the 24th? I’ve seen KD get through trains pretty well. I was at KD for i305's Opening Day (Friday and Saturday). Crowds we not terrible but several rides were closed both days and Volcano, Backlot, and Grizzly were all running one train. Granted that was 8 years ago now, so who knows it might be different this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boldikus Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Loving this new Kings Dominion Compilation that TPR posted over the weekend. So much awesome at this park, I still can't believe they are getting an RMC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keetz Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 There is some drone footage I found of Twisted Timbers testing. I am hesitant to post it though because I'm not sure it violates any forum rules. According to the poster he has an agreement worked out with the park management that he can record as long as it's not flown over the park. I tried searching the forums for some feedback on drone footage but couldn't find a ruling. Anyone know the policy on drone footage? From the looks of the video it's going through the course at a pretty good clip and should give some amazing air time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll err on the safe side there. Plus that guy has tons of footage flying directly over the park, and claims he was previously banned. I was under the impression that Cedar Fair did not allow any drone flying directly over their parks period. But anyway, the footage from the referenced video did get me super hyped. Those 3 air time hills in a row are gonna eject serious ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarolinaJay Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 I might get hate for this, but I really want them to rip apart Anaconda and place a seriously kick ass launched wing coaster in place of it...or a serious kick ass B&M Invert. Just something seriously kick ass in that spot over the lake. Fight me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boldikus Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 seriously kick A$$ launched wing coaster serious kick A$$ B&M Invert. seriously kick A$$ in that spot over the lake. The park took how many years between I305 and Twisted Timbers? I wouldn't hold your breath. The parks newest coaster isnt even open yet and you're already on about what coaster they're gonna add next. Relax, Twisted Timbers will be seriously kick ass.

bill_s Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 They already have a coaster over the lake that will kick your a$$, or at least kick your head. Seems to me I305 was the last coaster at KD that won't be some kind of replacement of a previous one, plus their main statement coaster, now that they are entering the replacement phase with TT they may come a bit faster out of necessity, or closures at any rate, say in 2 years after another minor upgrade and another 2 years to replace a coaster. I'm digging the simplistic nature of this RMC, in that it just has a bunch of airtime hills in a row. It's still really complicated compared to what was there, but yeah it looks great, better than their previous with the same stats but based on Cyclonic layouts. Probably the most "from the ground up" bits of any conversion, contrasts a lot with Steel Vengeance which is basically a whole, whole bunch of random stuff to carve up.

ScreaminNewEngland Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 I still don’t understand the hate for Anaconda. It’s not a bad ride at all. There’s plenty of coasters that are worse than it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
