The park also alluded to an upcoming renovation and conversion by RMC (Rocky Mountain Construction) with a message, "There's really more coming". On August 16, 2017, Kings Dominion confirmed about Hurler's renovation to Twisted Timbers.

Theme[]
The ride takes place in the fictional Hanover Hill Orchard, a rustic apple orchard named after Hanover Contry in Virginia, where Kings Dominion is located. The backstory is that in 1950, a mysterious force had destroyed the orchard and froze it in time. However, a local business man opened it back up and ignored the warnings about the force.
