So the question is what did I think of Twisted Timbers?  It was fun.  I enjoyed the rides twenty moments of airtime, the theming was fun and the loops were interesting but in the end it was just ok.  It is a good coaster but not at the top of my list of rides to spend serious time on at Kings Dominion.  We will be getting to those later in this trip report. 



 Tucked in the woods of Kings Dominion's Old Virginia section and literally hidden as the queue is hard to find sits the parks coaster The Grizzly.



You have to hunt for the queue and the ride is way out in the woods so much that guests could easily miss this ride.



Unfortunately with the ride that far out it was more than a little hard to photograph it.  The coaster is a recreation of the Wildcat that was at Kings Island's predecessor Coney Island.  Taft Broadcasting built copies of that ride at Canada's Wonderland as the Wild Beast and here at Kings Dominion.  The ride is a double out and back that is really fun.  I just wish it was easier to find as I am not that familiar with the park.



Part of the fun of Coaster Con as well as any ACE event is all of the behind the scenes or exclusive events for us.
