CarolinaJay Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Look what somebody spotted on 95! That's a big A$$ sign! OOOO THAT'S EXCITING!! I'm hoping they'll add lights to the sign so it'll light up at night some sort of way. I can't wait to see all of this amazement in person on preview night!

mike541x Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Wow. They're really going all out with the theme on this ride. I love it! So weird seeing the old Paramount logo on the station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Wow. They're really going all out with the theme on this ride. I mean... so far they made a sign that says the name of the ride in plain, Helvetica font and out it on the roof of a rectangular metal building.

Dombot Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 So weird seeing the old Paramount logo on the station. That's what I thought too. Did they keep that while Hurler was still running for everyone to see? Oh, Cedar Fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WolfBobs Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I quick repaint of the station and you could make it look like a barn. Does ivy grow on sheet metal like that? I can only really think I've seen it grow against wood and brick. I guess you could nail some wooden lattice and get ivy to grow up that. It would look great! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cal1br3tto Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 That sign looks great installed. The thing to the right looks good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 To clarify, I'm sure it will look great when it's done... I just thought it was funny that as soon as that sign went up it was drawing praise about them "going all out" with the theming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steamedturtle Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 The off season is long, and full of terrors... But the 'W' looks weird with vertical lines, rather than angled ones, like in this picture: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
certifiedcoastergeek Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Wow. They're really going all out with the theme on this ride. I mean... so far they made a sign that says the name of the ride in plain, Helvetica font and out it on the roof of a rectangular metal building. Look at the bottom left of the FB picture... they're building a pretty substantial faux-brick entrance there, and apparently some covered structures in that pavilion area as well. All indicators point to some pretty good theme elements, although I sincerely hope that the "covered pavilion structure" isn't cover for KD's first fluffy bunny rental location, and that fluffy bunnies will continue to live in freedom on ride platforms ( ). Otherwise, two thumbs up so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drummermattk Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 It seems that the first cycle has been taken? We can confirm that Twisted Timbers’ Blue Train has been “pushed” over the hill at least 4 times and has been successful in making a complete circuit. Full scale testing will begin as soon as sensors are added and online to allow two train dispatch. #TT #gettwisted #kdfanatics Kings Dominion Fanatics on Facebook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Design choice or...? EXACTLY. . to my eye, it looks like the placement is off. The Art Director in me (I have a degree from University of Texas), totally thinks that the "Twisted" needs to be shifted to the right a bit. . so that the bottom of the "T" will line up with the "I" in Timbers. what that would accomplish is make the "W" in Twisted, mirror the "M" in Timbers. .and be much more pleasing to the eye. that the W & the M look so similar, makes me wonder if that was the original intention?

Design choice or...? that's got to be a bad design choice, or the sign company mistake and trying to pass it off without correcting it, imo.

Mossed Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Love seeing this thing testing. Can't wait for reviews to start rolling in. Cedar Fair is going all out on these first two RMC's, and I'm hoping that continues through the chain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, that's what I was referring to. The station is still a bit of an eyesore but from what I can see, the new entrance looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
