twisted

KD backstory for Twister Timbers is the storm damaged the orchard. The "logo" is a twisted tree and a junked car. Some weird alien looking thing made a crater (you walk past it in the line) and all the farm equipment is messed up and in weird places. It's never really fully explained, so it feels entirely random and pretty incomplete, but the coaster is a freaking BLAST so I just kind of shrug at the weak attempt at a theme at KD.

Guess they could do something similar with Carowinds but I doubt it's gonna be recycling the legacy ride names some on here are wanting to come back. I do hope whatever theme and name gets used, gets a better and more obvious "story" or theme. I mean either have a theme and do it well, or just don't bother trying, just build a fun coaster and leave it at that.

Jrlooney88: AMAZING find. Almost as good as the blueprints. Even has an arrival date for the coaster shipment LOL. Here's what Jrlooney88 found.

Europe does their dates/months opposite of us, that shipment was actually delivered 5-9, not something to be delivered 9-5. And if I remember correctly, the middle of May is when the footing cages showed up on site.

This is a great find. Already started searching other manufactures trying to get hints of possible coasters and rides. ie... Intamin motocoaster imported in June.

didn't see any Mack deliveries for Magic Mountain, either. Perhaps it's on a different page of that site, but you can't navigate to other pages without a paid account. If there's no Mack coaster shipping to Magic Mtn CA, then people may be right about the video of the German person at the Mack factory saying the track was going to California somewhere, but other viewers suspected he meant Carolina.
