Twisted Timbers

Twisted Timbers, formerly known as Hurler, is a steel roller coaster located at Kings Dominion in Doswell, Virginia. Manufactured by Rocky Mountain Construction (RMC), the ride opened to the public on March 24, 2018. Following the closure of Hurler in 2015, RMC was hired to refurbish the aging roller coaster. It was converted from wood to steel utilizing the company's I-Box track technology, allowing for more aggressive elements including three overbanked turns, three inversions, and twenty airtime moments. Twisted Timbers is also faster than its predecessor, reaching a maximum speed of 54 mph (87 km/h).
==History==
In 2016, Kings Dominion began to tease that Hurler, a roller coaster which had been closed since 2015, would reopen in 2018. The park also alluded to an upcoming renovation and conversion by Rocky Mountain Construction with the message, "There's really more coming." On August 16, 2017, Kings Dominion confirmed Hurler would reemerge as Twisted Timbers and open to the public in 2018. The official announcement came in a press release that featured promotional artwork for the ride as well as ride specifications.
The park scheduled a soft opening on March 22, 2018, for media and members of the enthusiast group American Coaster Enthusiasts, with a second soft opening scheduled the following day for season ticket holders. However, due to inclement weather on March 21, both planned soft openings were held on March 23. The grand opening to the public was held on March 24, 2018.
