Johnson. “Its I-Box hybrid steel track allows us to put the trains through different elements such as barrel rolls, inversions, and so forth that would not be possible on a traditional wooden coaster.” “The barrel roll down drop was the most challenging element in regards to design and construction,” Grubb confirms. “The three airtime hills on the way out is a unique feature as is the barrel roll down drop. The Ibox track allows Twisted Timbers to include thrilling elements such as inversions, high banked turns, and so forth while providing a smooth ride.” “Guests love the airtime moments and the non- stop elements,” Johnson continues, “and they’ve been really pleased with the theming that has been included in the ride area and queue line.
This is Kings Dominion’s 44th season. Located in central Virginia, it features thrill rides, live entertainment, an all-inclusive water park and 14-acre children’s area. Kings Dominion is owned and operated by Cedar Fair Entertainment Company that owns and operates 11 amusement parks, two outdoor water parks, one indoor water park and four hotels.
Twisted Timbers Fast Facts
So far, the reaction of our guests is very positive. I have ridden the ride many times. My favorite part is coming off the lift into the barrel roll. I also enjoy the many airtime moments.” “Be prepared for a one of a kind riding
experience,” Johnson concludes. Twisted Timbers is located in the Candy Apple Grove section of the park and is themed to an abandoned apple orchard on the edge of town. The story behind the coaster is that an unknown force – supernatural or natural– destroyed the harvest years ago and froze the orchard in time; now the strictly “off-limits” orchard has reopened for tours, with the twisted ride as its highlight.
