This is definitely shaping up to be the second best ride in the park themed to lumber.

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!

The second inversion looks insane! Reminds me of that stall on Outlaw Run.

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....

 

Timber Hawk hurler conversion, new for Carowinds in 2019.

Very solid RMC. I love the 3 straight airtime hills toward the beginning.

[thrillseeker4552]

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.

I love the excitement of the riders in that promotional image.

[Ed Farmer]

The amount of elements they were able to cram into this layout is amazing.

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

[PVA62]

Love the look of the trains. Looks like it will be a lot of fun, RMC always delivers.

They are all in the proper riding position. . .

[RollerManic]

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. WOW

[djackson]

The trains are sexy

[TheCoasterKid211]

I can now die happy. This baby looks a-ma-zing.

[DoinItForTheFame]

 

This shot is just pure beauty!!!

[thrilladdict]

I'm glad to see that the new 2018 RMC trains still lack OTSR's... unlike their Raptor trains.

Oh come on they're just shoulder straps it's not like they're shoving 90's SLC restraints on them

[SharkTums]

#Where'sTheShed?

[thrilladdict]

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.

[JT325]

I'm glad to see that the new 2018 RMC trains .

 

What's new about them? Are they different than past RMC trains?
