First time to the park last month and was floored to have this and I-305 in the same park!!! Thought I was dreaming!! Can’t wait to return at end of summer!
Twisted Timbers is awesome! The best parts of the ride for me are the camelback hills and the sequence after the cutback and before the zero g roll. It has some of my favorite restraints personally because they are minimal yet feel secure.
Just rode Twisted Timbers for the first time yesterday, and then immediately queued up to do it again. Holy Cow! I was blown away. Absolutely an incredible experience. I also rode Twisted Cyclone in GA a few years ago and remember that being an equally mind-blowing experience. Now I know why. I think RMC refits are now my favorite style coaster. You're explanation is so thorough, I'm very amazed that you don't have higher likes and viewership. Please keep up the good work!
The one thing holding this ride back are it’s restraints. I have extremely long legs, so those shin guards are unpleasant to experience. The airtime is unbelievable, but with those lap bars, it’s not as fun as some people say. Pantheon, which is my favorite in Virginia, has a more varied layout and infinitely better restraints.
Even Pantheon's restraints aren't that accommodating. Twimbers doesn't have that height ceiling, so when it comes to restraints, I think it depends on what you're into.
I still find it the best in the park, but with the variety of elements on Pantheon, I think that it edges out TT for best in the state. The restraints don't bother me, I kind of lean forward into them and raise my knees once the ride gets going, it feels like the only thing holding me at that point are my knees. I also try to get just a little bit of room. Not inches, but as long as it's slightly loose, it's comfortable.
While I've never been to any Virginian amusement parks, I still feel like I can confidently say that this would be my favorite. It just keeps looking better and better. Also, good to hear they have the free phone lockers on Twisted Timbers as well; I thought it was just Steel Vengeance, but this is good!
Rode this for the first time 2 days ago. This and I305 are great top Tier coasters. People who have Kings Dominion as their home park are lucky. The theming for Twisted Timbers was incredible. The tractors and rusted 50's vehicles in the queue. The theming in the Station. I only rode 3 RMCs including Steel Vengeance. Twisted Timbes is definitely my favorite out of the two. Its so fast and there are so many different elements you cant even figure out whats going on until the train stops. Love it! The other RMC i rode was Jersey Devil. So only 2 RMC conversions. The reason I pick this over Steel Vengeance is because Steel Vengeance gets a little repetitive toward the end of the ride. Still a great ride though.
This is the strongest coaster I have ever experienced, riding it in near 100 degree temps last July. I could understand if someone says it's too much, but I love it. My 2018 rides were very strong, but those 2021 rides were insane! The strength and the lack of lines has made this one of my all-time favorite coasters. My 5 days at this park have all been on Mon-Thu, and Twisted Timbers has never been more than a station wait. I had i305 ahead of it for awhile, but I now prefer TwTim. With those 2 rides, the short lines, and the overall charm & beauty, Kings Dominion is one of my favorite parks of all. Compared to other RMCs, my top 4 are all RMCs now, and any of them could be my # 1. I may prefer the overall ride experience on Iron Gwazi to TwTim, but I've also had so many experiences with Iron Rattler that have been the most fun that any human can have at an amusement park. It's a tough call.
For me this is the best small RMC (Yet to ride Untamed). It is my #6 overall. I find this to have the best air time of any of the small RMC's. It is also my favorite coaster in Virginia, ahead of Pantheon and I-305. The camelbacks are awesome. The outward bank turnaround has to be one of my favorite elements. It really pops for me.
rode this when i went to kings domion for the first time and for my first rmc and my god i got insane ejector and i was even stapled! i love this ride currently as im typing its my #1 out of 20 creds
As I saw this ride coming together, I couldn't wait to ride this "insane" layout! I love the train. It is also very photogenic. RMC takes the "problem child" coasters and make them into a smooth "WILD child"
Twisted Timbers is my favorite Virginia coaster. She's got some attitude and I love it. I have gotten in a few mini-marathons, getting lucky with some visits on slow week days.
This was my first RMC and it’s a 10 for me. I like it a tad more than Lightening Run, which I think needs to finish the track conversion because it’s very noticeable which is which on the ride, and not in a good way!
This looks like an unbelievable coaster. Unfortunately, I have never ridden it. However, I have been on Iron Gwazi over 30 times. It is one of the best coasters on the planet, in my humble opinion. My only complaint is I am slightly over 6'2" tall. The trains are a little tight. Had the same issue on steel vengeance. Wish Rmc could provide more comfortable trains like what is on Velocicoaster at IOA in Orlando. Intamin got it right. They are the most safe and free feeling trains I have ever ridden. Those trains are the best in the world hands down.
I adore this ride! Although, I think it might not be the best in Virginia. Best coaster made with wood? Oh yeah, definitely, no question, but I think Intimidator 305 and Pantheon are just a bit better. Still a 10/10 ride for me!
i305 is the best positive G’s ride in VA Pantheon is the best for Negative G’s in VA in my opinion I’d also put both of them just above Twisted Timbers
I prefer I-305 but I also find this a very enjoyable RMC. The ejector airtime isn't as painful as some more intense rides (looking at you, Steel "Shin Splints" Vengeance) and for something to have this kind of pacing despite the low height is truly remarkable. It's a great ride.
My SECOND favorite of ALL TIME!! Rode it 15 times in one day, I just could NOT stop laughing!! You know you've made a great coaster if I can't stop smiling and giggling by the time it's OVER. I just couldn't believe how insane it was, I WISH we had something like it in Florida. Iron Gwazi is awesome (top 5 for sure), but there's nothing like getting thrown around like a ragdoll like this ride.
Little nitpick, the 2 speed hills pop you out of your seat and then turn a few degrees with no banking whatsoever; never noticed being pitched forward. Never really noticed the curve in that later hill either though, that starts the thigh survival section for me. Prefer middle rear rows on hot days to reduce pain. Also I'm short but that knee guard can grind. TT may not be the best in VA, but definitely does the most with the least ... anywhere?
I only got two rides on I305, vs. 10 or so on TT (I305 went down unfortunately) but I have to say I preferred TT and it’s now my new favorite RMC (replacing Outlaw Run). I haven’t been on too many RMCs yet (5) but this ended up being a more aggressive ride than I expected and it’s now my #3.
Im 11 and as i don't know much about coasters i do know this ride is perfect. After riding this then intimidator i would seriously put this over intimidator.
If I ask you about the ride, Twisted Timbers at Kings Dominion, in terms of smoothness, Canobie Coaster would say: As for smoothness, Twisted Timbers is glossy smooth like most RMCs. The ride throws you about, but that's very deliberate and from the ride's forces, not...
The Wayne's World Hurler Coaster was NOT the Worst Coaster Ride in Virginia! I take high offense to that statement! It was somewhat rough, to be sure, but it was still fun to ride. I'm personally sick and tired of people wanting everything all soft and smooth. Man up, Young Man! BE A MAN!!!!!!!!!!
I like the free lockers, but I wish there was an option to bypass if you have button or zipper pockets because I've often found that there can be empty rows on a train, even though there's a line because people are held up
Do you like the shin guards on the RMC coasters like Twisted Timbers at Kings Dominion, Steel Vengeance at Cedar Point, Goliath at Six Flags Great America, and Twisted Cyclone at Six Flags Over Georgia?
I currently have this as my favorite RMC (ahead of Wicked Cyclone and the woodie Outlaw Run. I must say, I also rode Iron Gwazi on it's debut; the ride was awesome, but it was early before the track got warmed up. I gotta give it some more go's before a final ranking.
Definitely one of the best RMCs. KD could not of choosen something better to do with Hurler. I haven't been to Virginia but this is by far a number 1 or 2 in the state just from the looks and the common sense that it's an RMC. Unlike a lot of RMCs where it has a mix of inversions, airtime, and unique elements, this one has all those but manly focuses on ejector airtime. Iv ridden Storm Chaser and I loved the first camelback and can't imagine what 3 in a row feels like. Definitely a bucket list coaster I need to try and one of the biggest musts for ejector lovers. I wish Carowinds can learn from KD and do something with their Hurler.
This was a top tier coaster for me. 10/10. The ejector airtime is relentless!!! I just experienced Twisted Cyclone at SFOG and that was a damp squid in comparison.
I'm with you in that I prefer standard drops. I think Steel Vengeance could have been better had they incorporated the barrel roll down drop off it's mid course break run. It would have acted as a jo-jo-esc down drop if the coaster had to be stopped on the mcbr, and pretty much like Twisted Timbers if they didn't trim it much.
Twisted Timbers is just pure fun and enjoyment. Everyone ends the ride laughing every time. It is also a great interactive coaster where you can go along with the other riders reactions. Its not super intense and allows for more mainstream fun.
I have an incredibly uncommon take. I like Twisted Timbers better than Steel Vengeance. SV is honestly too long for my tastes, by the return set of airtime pops my legs are in pain. TT doesn't suffer from that, plus it has the barrel roll drop, which I honestly prefer. Either it or Lightning Rod are my favorite RMCs.
Ive ridden Twisted Timbers over 200 times since 2018 - When my dad comes with me to the park - I have him hold my phone and stuff so i dont have to bother with the lockers. I am overjoyed that kings dominion added an RMC but Volcano's removal seemed to kind of ruin it for enthusiasts.
Looks amazing! However I don't think it's going to be my first RMC. I might be going to Six Flags New England later this year, so maybe I can get WC. Either way, this ride looks a bit better than WC.
@@CanobieCoaster I actually agree man. I'm a taller guy so pantheon had me Feeling like I was going to fall out . It was only holding me in by my knees , I love Rollercoasters but man that was sketchy. I305 is just a monster , has me laughing till the end everytime
Love the legendary and unrelenting ejector, but would be better if I wasn’t distracted by my thighs getting bruised by the poorly shaped restraints. Give this a clamshell and it’s bliss.
I was you expecting you to say pantheon was better based on your review. For me, pantheon is a more complete, better paced ride but twisted Timbers is very good as well and has good variety in its elements focusing on airtime while also delivering great inversions
This was my first RMC, and honestly every element except for the two final overbanks shines. When I rode it for the first time last July it was my number one, however, it’s fallen to my number 3, behind iron gwazi (my number 1 by quite a fair margin), and pantheon, which is super close to TT. Honestly, what makes pantheon for me is the swing launch, that hill backwards is amazing. But tt is an almost perfect ride, and the only reason I wouldn’t give it a 10/10 is because I don’t really like the overbanks at the end, they just do nothing for me, and the prelift isn’t that great. Other than that tho, it’s a phenomenal ride, and easily the best at KD (idk why i305 isn’t forceful enough for me)
I305 isn't forceful enough for you? How so. I haven't ridden because of it's reputation for being too forceful. I was wanting to ride it last time but it was too hot. I don't find any of the other rides at Kings Dominion super forceful outside of Twisted Timbers for airtime but it's not too forceful either.
@@chargedonpc9989 that would be correct. I honestly find verbolten to be more intense, which should not be the case. Granted, I305 I think is the better ride cuz of the snappy transitions
@@soughtbug I was genuinely wondering if it was possible for Verbolten to be more intense and I honestly could totally see that. Verbolten is the only ride that I've greyed out on with any certainty. I find Gale Force more intense overall though, but Verbolten is the second most intense and probably most intense for positives that I have ridden. It is so not a family coaster.
Twisted Timbers was running absolutely ridiculous yesterday! Having this and I305 in the same park is incredible.
Best 1-2 punch in the country, in my opinion.
I agree.
Twisted Timbers was running so well.
First time to the park last month and was floored to have this and I-305 in the same park!!! Thought I was dreaming!! Can’t wait to return at end of summer!
@@OklahomaCoasterFan it’s between here and Hershey in my opinion. TT isn’t all that after riding it but i305 was better than expected
Twisted Timbers is absolutely awesome! It was my 50th coaster and my first ever RMC. Plus, this ride solidified my obsession with roller coasters.
Nice!
My is steel vengeance
Hyper/Giga + RMC conversion always seem to make a great top 2. Six Flags New England and Six Flags Over Georgia have the same thing.
Yes
Twisted Timbers is awesome! The best parts of the ride for me are the camelback hills and the sequence after the cutback and before the zero g roll. It has some of my favorite restraints personally because they are minimal yet feel secure.

Also, good to hear they have the free phone lockers on Twisted Timbers as well; I thought it was just Steel Vengeance, but this is good!
I prefer Busch Gardens, but both are strong.
Twisted Timbers was my 2nd RMC and it did not disappoint. This coaster is a solid runner-up for the park.
It's fantastic.
I’ve rode twisted Timbers when it was 100+ degrees out and it’s was absolutely insane. I’ve never experienced that much ejector in my life.
Nice!

I prefer the left.

I prefer Gwazi and Iron Rattler to Twisted Timbers since those rides have better speed and variety, but this ride compliments I305 so well.
I think the two options for the best in the state are I-305 and Pantheon.
Twisted Timbers has a case if you love ejector airtime.
Honestly glad to see you reviewing more US parks and coasters
I try to mix it up.
For me this is the best small RMC (Yet to ride Untamed). It is my #6 overall. I find this to have the best air time of any of the small RMC's. It is also my favorite coaster in Virginia, ahead of Pantheon and I-305. The camelbacks are awesome. The outward bank turnaround has to be one of my favorite elements. It really pops for me.

It would be fantastic if all coasters had zippered pouches next to them I would definitely use them
It is nice.

This used to be my favorite, but I think I prefer I305 now.
Virginia's Top 3 is better than New York's Top 20 combined
I do love Cyclone though.
My home parks great escape :\
3rd or 4th best coaster in the state. Distant 2nd best in the park. Still a great ride!
It's my second favorite in the state.
I have a hard time choosing between this and I305 it's that good
This 1-2 punch compliments each other well.
This was my first RMC and it’s a 10 for me. I like it a tad more than Lightening Run, which I think needs to finish the track conversion because it’s very noticeable which is which on the ride, and not in a good way!
I prefer Lightning Rod since the layout is more diverse and the sense of speed is crazier.
This looks like an unbelievable coaster. Unfortunately, I have never ridden it. However, I have been on Iron Gwazi over 30 times. It is one of the best coasters on the planet, in my humble opinion.

I'm lucky the RMC restraints don't cause me discomfort.
Personally, Pantheon has the more varied layout and the more comfortable one. But Twisted Timbers would be an extraordinarily close second!
Haven't ridden pantheon but considering how awesome TT is, I can't wait to ride it sometime
I prefer I305 to both.

RMC proved they don't need much height to make a world-class ride.
I only got two rides on I305, vs. 10 or so on TT (I305 went down unfortunately) but I have to say I preferred TT and it’s now my new favorite RMC (replacing Outlaw Run). I haven’t been on too many RMCs yet (5) but this ended up being a more aggressive ride than I expected and it’s now my #3.
That's a bummer I305 broke down.

BE A MAN!!!!!!!!!!
I liked Hurler post retracking, but it was poor by the end.
I like the free lockers, but I wish there was an option to bypass if you have button or zipper pockets because I've often found that there can be empty rows on a train, even though there's a line because people are held up
I wish there was too, but they can't trust people to keep things in there.
Do you like the shin guards on the RMC coasters like Twisted Timbers at Kings Dominion, Steel Vengeance at Cedar Point, Goliath at Six Flags Great America, and Twisted Cyclone at Six Flags Over Georgia?
They are fine.
This video is a landmark cause this is my 200th comment on this channel
Wow!
I currently have this as my favorite RMC (ahead of Wicked Cyclone and the woodie Outlaw Run. I must say, I also rode Iron Gwazi on it's debut; the ride was awesome, but it was early before the track got warmed up. I gotta give it some more go's before a final ranking.
I prefer this one to Wicked Cyclone, but I like the other two you mentioned since they have crazier speed plus awesome elements.
Twisted Timber’s is in my Top 5 Coasters only eclipsed by Wonder Woman at 4, Lightning Rod at 3, I-305 at 2 & Steel Vengeance (the crown jewel) at 1.
Nice! I have it towards the middle of the RMCs.
Love this ride but I prefer the 2 intamins
I prefer I305 now.
Definitely one of the best RMCs. KD could not of choosen something better to do with Hurler. I haven't been to Virginia but this is by far a number 1 or 2 in the state just from the looks and the common sense that it's an RMC.

I wish Carowinds can learn from KD and do something with their Hurler.
This is an ejector airtime fan's dream.
This was a top tier coaster for me. 10/10. The ejector airtime is relentless!!! I just experienced Twisted Cyclone at SFOG and that was a damp squid in comparison.
It's fantastic.
this ride really reminds me of untamed at walibi for some reason.
They do have a similarly airtime packed layout.
I'm with you in that I prefer standard drops. I think Steel Vengeance could have been better had they incorporated the barrel roll down drop off it's mid course break run. It would have acted as a jo-jo-esc down drop if the coaster had to be stopped on the mcbr, and pretty much like Twisted Timbers if they didn't trim it much.
I love how Iron Gwazi and Twisted Cyclone did it.
Twisted Timbers is just pure fun and enjoyment. Everyone ends the ride laughing every time. It is also a great interactive coaster where you can go along with the other riders reactions. Its not super intense and allows for more mainstream fun.
So much airtime!
Great ride best in park for sure but the one down the road is better at Busch gardens meaning Pantheon
I prefer this one.
Please tell me they sell Hard Apple Cider and candy apples near the ride for the post-ride celebration
I don't know.
I have an incredibly uncommon take. I like Twisted Timbers better than Steel Vengeance. SV is honestly too long for my tastes, by the return set of airtime pops my legs are in pain. TT doesn't suffer from that, plus it has the barrel roll drop, which I honestly prefer. Either it or Lightning Rod are my favorite RMCs.
I don't mind Steel Vengeance's length myself.
Ive ridden Twisted Timbers over 200 times since 2018 - When my dad comes with me to the park - I have him hold my phone and stuff so i dont have to bother with the lockers. I am overjoyed that kings dominion added an RMC but Volcano's removal seemed to kind of ruin it for enthusiasts.
That's convenient.

Better than pantheon for sureee , I'd even put intimidator over pantheon.

How likely is it for Hurler at Carowinds to get this
I hope it happens.
What do you think about the lift hill on Twisted Timbers in loud?
Very loud.
It’s definitely number 3 after pantheon opened, I305 is still remaining number one pantheon is number 2 while twisted timbers is number 3
Twisted Timbers is probably my 2nd favorite in the state at this time.
Love the legendary and unrelenting ejector, but would be better if I wasn’t distracted by my thighs getting bruised by the poorly shaped restraints. Give this a clamshell and it’s bliss.
I'm lucky RMC restraints don't bother me.
Anyone scared of left turns can confidently ride this coaster. Are there any other coasters that only make right turns?
I can think of one that only makes left turns (Frank N Coaster).
So they added a trim brake to both hurlers? I wonder why that is.
To make it more bearable and reduce track wear.
Do u get the stomach drop feeling on this ride, how strong is it?
I don't.
Pantheon not that far away, and I305 right there? Does the poster really hate intensity?
I like all three of these rides.
@@CanobieCoaster gotcha, I missed context

I find Gale Force more intense overall though, but Verbolten is the second most intense and probably most intense for positives that I have ridden. It is so not a family coaster.
@@chargedonpc9989 I agree, verbolten is NOT a family coaster
Hey canobie what RMCs do you have ahead of this one
I have an RMC ranking video that should give you an idea.
The name of Twisted Timbers is okay to me but they should of named it 'Hurlers Revenge'
I prefer Twisted Timbers.
They closed this ride when I was there I'm so mad about that
Oh no!
I prefer this over i305
I think enthusiasts are split which they prefer.
Wouldn’t it have been cool if they added a fake Apple Orchard
They have some apples in the station.
This looks like the smaller version of kondaa
I don't see the comparison myself, but both rides have tons of airtime.
rmc is wooden coaster rehab
Yes
It Was Obvious
Why Hurler Was Removed
I don't blame them.
Obnoxiously loud lift hill... worse than griffin haha!
Sure is.
first
also rmc is the best coaster jn virginia? lameee
It's good, but it's #3 in VA for me.
It was my favorite in Virginia for a while.
Thats totally fair. VA's top 3 (i305, TT, Pantheon) can fall in any order and I could 100% see the argument and respect it. You can't go wrong.
