Twisted Sisters...SFKK chopped up the girls

Yes you heard me right. For the 2002 season, Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom's CCI dueling woodie, the Twisted Sisters, will no longer be - Twisted Sisters. This is the new name (why oh why) -


[b]Twisted Twins[/b]

*I don't know about you, but to me, that's almost as bad as naming your kid Gemorrah.


- But in better light to that name change, SFKK stated in their 2002 announcements to season pass holders (or was it ACE?) that they are planning to install a sling-shot type ride. Sounds like another of Stan's 'Absolutely Insane' pneumatic sling-shot rides he mentioned. I dont question it. SFAW and SFNJ have given heads up about sling-shot additions as well, right? And Stan Checketts at the IAAPA said another [b]6[/b] would be built soon following the two Cedar Fair VertiGos (defunct as of recently) and the SFMM Thrill Shot.

What a terrible name for a coaster.

Sounds like some Siamese Twin mixup.

And I thought I'd seen it all....

I agree. The name sounds horrible. I liked the name the way it was, not the stupid new name they gave it.

Twisted Sisters sounds a lot better then Twisted Twins. Granted, I wasn't too fond of the name Twisted Sisters either. That coaster's name is going from bad to worse.

There's still Poison Ivy's Twisted Train.

Twisted Twins doesn't mesh with the 'backstory' that they distributed with the Press Kits when they opened it. Supposedly, one of the girls is two years older than the other.

I have heard that the slingshot going in is the one that was at Darien Lake this past summer.

Don't quote me on it, but that's what i've heard.

Twisted twins is pretty stupid. I liked twisted sisters a lot more, but it doesn't really matter because at least they didn't change the ride.

Well if we're gonna call a coaster Twisted Sisters, then we might as well call one Kiss or Guns'n'Roses or sumthin. :D

Seriously, Twisted Twins just sounds gay. Sisters has a much better appeal to it. Twins just makes it sound like a kiddie coaster. :rolleyes:

I dont like that, and i really like twisted sisters better that sounds alot better. I think on another note the only way SFKK is gonna get more guest is if they build a good large coaster there.
