Hurler is a wooden roller coaster located at Carowinds amusement park in Charlotte, North Carolina. A second identical installation of the ride was also built at Kings Dominion, and both locations opened to the public in 1994. The Hurler at Kings Dominion was closed following the 2015 season and was renovated by Rocky Mountain Construction, re-emerging as a hybrid coaster in 2018 named Twisted Timbers.[1]
History
On September 9, 1993, Carowinds announced that they would be receiving an 8 acre themed area based on the Wayne's World films. This new area would feature a variety of restaurants and stores. In addition, the centerpiece attraction would be a wooden roller coaster named "Hurler". It was billed as the first movie-themed wooden roller coaster in the United States.[2] That same month, Kings Dominion announced that they would be getting their own Wayne's World section and a Hurler clone.[3]
