Jcoaster Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Following a significant amount of public criticism regarding the changing of its name, the Kings Dominion roller coaster Racer 75 will revert to its original name Rebel Yell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbalvey Posted March 23, 2018 Author Share Posted March 23, 2018 Geesh I saw one review call TT "slow and lethargic" but I assume this has to do with the fact it was ridden in the mid-40s. Lmao, you gotta love enthusiasts. Ride has been open maybe 180 minutes in late March. Stupidity has no limits my friends. Why do you think we try to weed out as many idiot roller coaster enthusiasts as we possibly can on TPR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redfoot12 Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Well I do have a Platinum pass this year. May need to figure out a way to weasel a trip in to KD. This won't be easy at 8 hours away. Hey! I'm in the same boat as I want to weasel a trip to KI! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcjp Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 I really like the amount of "traditional" airtime hills this ride has. Obviously RMC is amazing at doing funky elements but I just love the look of all those hills in a row Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boldikus Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 One thing I keep hearing from those who got to ride today is how quiet the trains are. I wonder if that has to do with the newer generation of RMC trains being used? I remember when Wicked Cyclone opened it kept doing those screeching sounds through the rolls.

redfoot12 Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Just curious, but how many TPR-ers are going to be at the park tomorrow and/or Sunday? It might be cool to do an unofficial meet-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3Mutts Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Twisted Timbers looks really good also glad they arent renaming Rebel Yell! Its already bad enough the SJWs ended up changing the bride scene on Pirates of the Caribbean we didn't need to give them another win (that and Racer 75 is a stupid name)!

Glad they improved the trains, Wicked Cyclone and Twisted Colossus were making horrible grinding noises opening year. The new chassis wheel assemblies have like 30%+ more wheels than gen 1 RMC trains. In theory, this means more force distributed between the wheels and a smoother ride overall. I also believe their running entirely polyurethane on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted March 23, 2018 Author Share Posted March 23, 2018 Rocky Mountain shared our video post: https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=1613095612060886&id=154373424599786 If everyone could go give them a "thumbs up" or write something in support of them using TPR's video we would greatly appreciate it since all the angry coaster enthusiasts are piling on the idiocracy.

josephcissell Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 I have to agree with what someone said earlier about how cool it is to see RMC doing some straight airtime hills. I love all the crazy elements they put into their coasters, but this ride seems to feature more of a mix of traditional hills (probably with the wonderful ejector we’ve come to expect from RMC) and the overbanks and twists they’ve always used. Ride and TPR POV footage look awesome! I look forward to getting back to KD in the next couple of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Corn Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 i saw a couple short instagram clips, but if anyone has any photos of the work done on the surrounding area (apple zapple, r̶a̶c̶e̶r̶ ̶7̶5̶ rebel yell, mac n' cheese shop, etc) or the queue which looked absolutely fantastic, please post em!!

Crosshairs007 Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 I just got off of Twisted Timbers. It is an awesome roller coaster and so much airtime. Definitely my 2nd favorite next to Intimidator 305 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steamedturtle Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Loved my first rides on TT. Every single hill popped me out of my seat. Yeah it's got some traditional air time hills, but it's also got that RMC flair with the all the crazy direction changes. And I know it's opening day, but it was the smoothest coaster I've ever been on. Glossy is an understatement. It's also really quiet as the trains rolls along the track, for whatever that's worth.
