The New for 2018 Twisted Timbners Roller Coaster - The American Coaster Enthusiasts Coaster Con 41 at Kings Dominion, Doswell, Virginia

Twisted Timbers, with a very twisted first drop/inversion that twists you upside down as the train begins to plummet, began as the Wayne's World themed "Hurler" coaster back during the years when Kings Dominion was Paramount's Kings Dominion.

Back in the 199o's with the huge success of Batman The Ride at Six Flags the theme park/coaster/movie tie-in was the big thing and Paramount wanted to bank on the popularity of the Mike Myers and Dana Carvey Wayne's World franchise for a hit ride.

The Hurler; which was a mirror image of Thunder Run at Kentucky Kingdom, opened at Kings Dominion in 1994.

With the huge popularity of Rocky Mountain Construction's refurbishing wooden coasters into twisted steel creations plus The Hurler's maintenance costs and declining popularity it is no surprise that Kings Dominion decided to put the ride under the knife to create a twisted hybrid coaster.

As a result after some serious modifications this year The Hurler was reborn as Twisted Timbers.
