so i rode TT for the first time on Sunday. the ride was amazeballs! HOWEVER... what is with the load time??
Twisted Timbers
- Thread starter Nicole
- Start date
Oh. In that case, if the ride does not have a MCBR, then the next train, if dispatched too early, will stop at the top of the lifthill until the next block is cleared. Now with TT ops that’s not gonna happen.
I just used the zipper pouch on the train with no problem. In fact the ride op was telling people to use them over the speaker.

Yeah I saw people using them to tonight. The signs were still posted saying that they are banned. I have two issues with this. One posting signs telling people that they are banned and to pay to get a locker if there is not a non rider to hold them while having a system in place to allow them on is a con plan and simple. The other issue is this sends the message that park rules don't apply and might lead to some feeling that rules can be broken with no issues. I like the pouch system I just wish that the park would have removed the signs and openly gone to the system instead of doing so more or less in secret.

Quick question whern and if anyone knows why did they remove the hasnd holds from the ride? I know there were ones when it opened but they appeare all gone now. The ride throws you around alot ant the airtime against the restraints is hard on my hI'llps I found that I could brace better with the hand holds that are now gone. It also appeared that the ride ops were having s harder time getting the restraint tight wiithout them
I'm also curious why they were removed. I wonder if people were injuring themselves with them? It is a very different sort of experience without them!
If I turn my speakers up to 150% I can get the real deafening experience of standing near Twisted Timbers's Anti-Rollback Device!
When we were on Twisted Timbers, one of the ride ops said that they had the second train under the station at the moment and that it was ready to go, it just had not been placed on the tracks yet.
Having been under the station, there’s no way it’s under there. It’s probably still up at the maintenance shop if it’s at the park at all.
Plus the train has to cycle a certain amount of times per corporate policy before people are permitted to ride it.
ALWAYS go to Twisted Timbers first thing in the morning. Even when it runs two trains its line builds quickly and moves slowly.

And now that Volcano is gone the lines won't clear out until much later in the day.
^I was worried about Volcanos wonderful giant switchback not holding about 20% of the parks guests at all times impact might be on the other rides.
On the bright side, Twisted Timbers’ crowd patterns shouldn’t be much different from last year since Volcano was closed for most of the season anyway.
