Twisted Timbers • Kings Dominion

Airtimes Inversions Smoothness

When I found out my home park was getting an RMC I flipped, especially when it was Hurler which really needed to be replaced. My first ride on this was in the back row and the ejector was very strong on the three hills. Since then I have ridden this ride nearly 30 times in different seats and I can say they were all great rides. This roller coaster has a good layout and as I have yet to have ride Storm Chaser this my first inverted drop and the hangtime on I it is possibly the second best coaster moment in the state of Virginia with the airtime hills being the best in my eyes. In my opinion, this is the best roller coaster in Virginia by far and I am excited to get more rides on this in the future. The only problem with this ride is that is it a little short though it really does not need to be longer especially as they had to work with the layout of hurler and I commend RMC for making a kinda boring layout into a really fun ride.

I don't know where to start with this ride, the area it's got a well needed revamp and it totally paid off. Huler was ugly and disgusting, TwiTimbers looks awesome with the theming and atmosphere. When you enter the queue you do see theming. There's a crashed alien pod thing?? I don't really know what it is, and there is also some tractors and some sheds. Although the station is a box, Cedar Fair did great on it. There's a lot of little details inside the station but I wish there was some overground roots or something like that. The trains are eh. I'm a short person so the shin guards don't hurt too much but later on the ride the forces will make you bash your legs. After departing the station and climbing up the lift hill, you make a turn into the first drop which is also an inversion. In the front you get excellent hang time and in the back you get whipped through it. You go over a speed hill which provides a quick ejector pop then go into an overbank which provides positive g's. You then go through the main part of the ride which are the triple camel-backs. These provide sustained ejector airtime all throughout the train and it's relentless. You into into a pop of small airtime then into a cutback. This inversion is whippy and is fun. Then you go into the twisted airtime hills. These are awesome, they provide semi-sustained ejector airtime in which you make a sharp outer banked turn into the last inversion. The last inversion is a barrel roll and it's probably my least favorite out of all three. It's fun but doesn't provide much forces. You go into some snappy overbanked turns which provide some of the last thrills then you go into a small bunny hop into the final brakes. The brake run has a crook at the end which triggers my OCD but it's ok. My overall rating is a 9.8/10

Airtimes

Steel Vengeanceより好き。だけど「邪道が持ち味のRMCでも、けっきょく一番おもしろいのは“普通のキャメルバック”でした」ってオチはどーよ？

Yhis is my 5th favourite RMC after Lightning Rod, Wildfire and Untamed and SteVe. Lets start what i liked about this thing: the first drop is amazing with an inversion i did that never before. The rest of the lay-out is great one time the coaster tricked me to go straight after an inversion to the right and i thoughd it went left. Only complainment are the restraints with this airtime it hurts a little. but number 18 of my top coasters is not bad because i ridden like 469 coasters.

Is it the best RMC? Probably not. But is it the most fun? I think so. The floater airtime moments are unreal and has such a perfectly varied layout that throws a little bit of everything at you without beating you up like some of the others can. I got 21 rides on it in one evening and had a blast. Most rides would have given me a headache or I would have gotten sick of them, but not Twimbers; its a pretty perfect ride and will always be underrated.

My first RMC and led me to believe in the RMC hype. This ride hauls, it has length, airtime, and the first twisted drop is great! Currently my favorite out of 113 coasters!

It was my first RMC, and it didn't disappoint. I personally love the twisted drop, and the airtime is great. 3000% better than Hurler.

Theming Inversions Ejectors Layout

Twisted Timbers is my least favorite of the RMC I-box coasters I've ridden, and yet it's still an outstanding coaster. My complaint is the coaster's design. Instead of using part of the layout like Twisted Cyclone, or increasing the height to make up for steel coasters not carrying momentum as well as wood coasters (Steel Vengeance), it does neither. It uses the whole layout, and is about the same height as Hurler. As such, the ride really runs out of steam about 2/3 of the way through. The forces stay quite good, but the train feels like it's struggling to get back to the station. In addition, this ride takes ages to load, and the ride ops do not hurry in the same way they did for SteVe. Lastly, though airtime alley is a great homage to Hurler, I ultimately find it uncreative for the kinds of layouts RMC has proven to be able to produce. I love the first drop and the first overbank. Other than that, this is standard RMC fare, and that is great fun. Sharp ejector airtime with smooth inversions and overbanks. Plus the theming is probably the best of any US RMC, especially paired with the similarly themed Apple Zapple.

I grew up riding the Hurler as a small boy. I loved it. The theming, the great whippy turns, the rattling wood creaking from the stress of the powder blue trains rolling like a rock through a forest. When I heard that my beloved Hurler was due for an RMC treatment my nostalgia gut started to twist and churn. How could they mutilate my favorite woodie? As I took the old familar queue to ride Twisted Timbets for the first time my old memories flooded back of the old Hurler theming. Plastic baby doll arms, legs, and torsos hung from the rafters as some sick joke which made my dark heart flutter with delight. I missed it. I stepped through the metal detector, cell phone in hand, and got in the back. As the Russian doll faced Op stapled me into the restraint I felt my heart beat rise. A thumbs up from the steady but slow Ops sent me off into the lift hill with an air of unearned confidence. As I crested the top I could see the first drop and I was giddy with delight. Wow. An inversion drop. I was in coaster heaven. The rails whipped me around the station house for some camel backs and mighty overbaked whips. It was all over in a matter of seconds but it lasted an eternity of bliss that I still replay in my mind when Im restless in bed and need to kickstart my dreams. These days when im asked what my favorite coaster is I have the words Twisted Timbers loaded on the tip of my tongue waiting to convert another soul by drinking the sweet RMC kool aid nectar. Hurler is not dead, it is alive in my heart next to my undying love for its improved Final form. Party on Wayne, party on Garth.

Airtimes Masterpiece Ejectors

Twisted Timbers is an absolute masterpiece. It is statistically lacking, but not experientially lacking. It has extreme ejector airtime through every airtime moment. The inversions aren't spectacular, but they add variety to an already outstanding ride. My one quibble with Twisted Timbers is that I was not a fan of the outward-banked airtime hill. Other than that, it was almost a dream-like ride.

Amazing ride easily the best ride at Kings Dominion now.

Such a good RMC. The barrel roll drop is phenomenal. The camelbacks are great sustained ejector and the trick track double up is one of my favorite elements. The turn around under the structure is fantastic and the last zero G Roll is a lot of fun. One if the best coasters I’ve ridden for sure.

First Drop Pace Layout

A relentless layout makes the wait for the metal detectors well worth it. A fun drop kicks this one off, but it's the laterals on the wave turn (which has no right to feel as enormous as it does) and the out-of-control airtime of the trick track double up that make this a world class ride.

Twisted timbers is the best of the smallest RMCs . The first three ejector hills are very intense especially on a hot summer night when the coaster is fully heated up. This to me is kind of a Jekyll and Hyde coaster and the reason I say this is because in the morning twisted timbers doesn’t run as well as you would want it too However the pacing is still sustainable enough to be quiet an effiecent ride. The first drop is quite incredible as you get good hang time especially more toward the front of the train as you crawl over that drive if you are in the back you get flung over which is really awesome. My favorite elements are The turnaround and the Trick Track double up

Airtimes First Drop Comfort Capacity

When I went, they were only running one train, which is why I put capacity as a con. However, the ride itself is amazing! Each airtime hill is fun and awesome in their own way, and the best elements on the ride are for sure the airtime hill inside the structure, and all of the inversions are amazing! I miss this ride so much. If there one ride that I would even give a chance of beating Steel Vengeance, it would be this one (but of course I won't)!

AMAZING RMC!

Amazing ride with great and sustained airtime and really good inversions. Some small theming helps bring the ride area together and the trains look great. Overall fantastic coaster!

Inversions Intensity Ejectors

An RMC masterpiece packed full of every type of airtime imaginable. Somehow, despite an airtime-focused course, they managed to fit in three excellent inversions and a huge overbank as well. Incredibly intense, relentless RMC. A true work of art.
