Kings Dominion: General Discussion

[Rob]

I agree, it's a brilliant looking layout full of airtime. And here is some drone footage of the construction site:

Kings Dominion have posted the following photo showing how the first drop has transformed from how it was on Hurler to how it will be on Twisted Timbers:

And now RMC have posted this:

I can feel the airtime from here!

 

[AstroDan]

God, RMCs are hideous.

God, RMCs are hideous.

They really are aren’t they - I bet they ride well though gh

 

[Rob]

The first Twisted Timbers train has arrived!

Looks to be the first look at RMC's slightly modified restraints as well.

Testing could well be starting fairly soon!

Twisted Collosus was bloody amazing so yes, yes they do

Some new drone footage showing off Twisted Timbers:



It also appears that Ricochet is being painted green for the new season.

 

[Rob]

In news slightly away from Twisted Timbers, Kings Dominion have announced that both Ricochet and Rebel Yell will be re-named for the upcoming season; they will be called Apple Zapple and Racer 75 respectively.

Renaming Rebel Yell does not seem to have gone down well with some fans!

Anyway, I'll end this post with a lovely photo posted by RMC:

I just realised something about Apple Zapple! As it is being repainted green, it is now... a big green track! That's made by Mack! A big green track! *starts singing Big Green Track from TPW's Europa Park vlogs*

Billy Idol will be upset...

I didn't realise the name Rebel Yell was associated with the confederates until now. Makes sense to change the name, but I'm sure the moaners are out in force.

 

[Plastic Person]

I like how the park desperately attempted to circumnavigate the criticism of renaming Rebel Yell by applying an old-fashioned, red, white and blue aesthetic to the new name that resembles a cool, all-American cars. It has quite an interesting history, although I can totally understand why they got rid of it.

Neither did I! Might offer some insight into why they changed it!

"Hmmm, a few snowflakes might find this name offensive on behalf of other people.... I know! Let's give it an 'America f*** yeah!' theme that the rest of the world finds offensive!"

 

[Rob]

Testing! 1, 2, 3, testing!



Looks so slow.

Hopefully KD will be showing us more over the coming days!

 

[Brad97]

It's slow, gonna be crap

 

[Rob]

And now we have drone footage of it testing:



Airtime galore!

 

[Brad97]

Still slow
