silver2005 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 If RMC Hurler could get a first drop like Storm Chaser, that'd be swell. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sythe Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 I don't have any pictures, but I've heard that they have moved some of the track to the inside of the turns. So hopefully we will see some real action soon.Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonofBaconator Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Another question is if Hurler at Carowinds gets the RMC'd will it be a clone of the KD Hurler? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creed Bratton Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 I wouldn't think so....I'd think they'd have a similar start but they'd be unique. Cedar Fair isn't really a pro-clone chain. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cedar Fair isn't really a pro-clone chain. That's very true point. Come to think about it, aside from kiddie rides and the cloned rides from Paramount, the only major cloned Cedar Fair ride that comes to mind is WindSeeker. Great job CF, keep being original! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sythe Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 This isn't six flags we're talking about. Cedar Fair has more class. As for Carowinds' Hurler, there's really no telling what's going to happen with that. I hope that they just tear it down and build something from scratch. I know I've said this many times before but Carowinds NEEDS a GCI.Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got rid of their racing woodie not too long ago so if that's any indication on how much the GP liked riding a wooden ride, a GCI would seem, in my opinion, pretty far fetched.

silver2005 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Well, to be honest, Carowinds' wooden collection even with Thunder Road was hardly anything to write home about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterDirected Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Unless they can do something completely different from KD's Hurler, it would be better to just keep it as is because I've heard this one is actually bearable. Honestly, I'd push for Carowinds to get a GCI or maybe a Premier Launch Coaster. I don't think they'd get anything ridiculous like Fury anytime soon or a B&M but a GCI around the size of MT or a Skyrocket 2 or custom Premier would be a good fit as they don't have a launch coaster.

It's bearable but it's extremely boring. If they took it down it would give them a lot more room for expansion, especially since that's a fairly popular area now due to Fury.Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vortex lover Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Im thinking that 28ft is going to be added to the height of the structure. My first thought was going to be airtime moments but I said to myself that with how the layout of the ride is that would be extreme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silver2005 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Judging by the angles of the supports, it looks to be getting an inverted drop a la Storm Chaser. And that's a very good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silver2005 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 'Timbers' is the new 'Hawk' of CF. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonofBaconator Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 It might be just a teaser, sorta like Splintercat. Now that I think about it, Splintercat wouldn't be a bad name for the RMC Hurler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeastFarmer Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 I think it would be cool to have a coaster at KD named Twisted Timbers, with similar theming of MT at KD. I'm hoping this happens! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonofBaconator Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 I don't think that would be really original seeing as both parks are really trying to become more individual 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sythe Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 ^ I don't really mind it. At least it sounds like a coaster name unlike Mystic Timbers.Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xdog42 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 This coaster is gonna provide some gooooodddd airtime. CF going all out with this and the New coaster at CP Steel Vengeance aka RMC Mean Streak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaestroJr Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Looks to be an incredible fun and airtime filled coaster. Might have to get to KD next year for a ride. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
