DoinItForTheFame Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 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.

Canobie Coaster Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 This looks so much better than Hurler. Can't wait to ride it in a few months! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bert425 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 But the 'W' looks weird with vertical lines, rather than angled ones, like in this picture: I was gonna say something, but didn't bother 'cuz it doesn't bother me--the W is totally an upside-down M. Design choice or...? EXACTLY. . to my eye, it looks like the placement is off. The Art Director in me (I have a degree from University of Texas), totally thinks that the "Twisted" needs to be shifted to the right a bit. . so that the bottom of the "T" will line up with the "I" in Timbers. what that would accomplish is make the "W" in Twisted, mirror the "M" in Timbers. .and be much more pleasing to the eye. that the W & the M look so similar, makes me wonder if that was the original intention?

Design choice or...? that's got to be a bad design choice, or the sign company mistake and trying to pass it off without correcting it, imo.

Mossed Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Love seeing this thing testing. Can't wait for reviews to start rolling in. Cedar Fair is going all out on these first two RMC's, and I'm hoping that continues through the chain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 According to the park, the ride has already developed a rattle. Well... a "RA⊥TLE". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike541x 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?

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...

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...
