Enjoy Rocky Mountain's New Twisted Timbers Photos

Twisted Timbers is nearly complete, with only a couple track pieces left to install, and Rocky Mountain Construction is proudly showing off their creation. The renovation of Kings Dominion's former Hurler wooden roller coaster into a low-to-the-ground twisted masterpiece is looking great, as seen in the aerial shot above.

It's also neat to look at all the new structure versus the old structure, which is noticeable in this photo from the difference in color. The new supports that hold the steel track are a lighter brown than the old supports, which are dark.

Twisted Timbers' barrel roll first drop is certainly going to be one of the coaster's most exciting elements, and we've seen plenty of photos of the drop from afar, but this is the first one I've seen taken inside the structure looking down. The 109 foot drop will completely invert riders as they dive, giving this view for a brief moment as they go.

Winters can be harsh at times, but they can also make some beautiful photos of snow covered rides. Rocky Mountain snapped this photo of Twisted Timbers' zero-g roll patiently waiting for riders as the snow collected on its tracks. Hard to believe that in just a few months the coaster's trains will be roaring through this element!
