The story of Timber
Timber was announced in August 2015, and its wooden frame began to rise that October. By the time the 2015 IAAPA Expo opened, the ride had its name, and Les Avenières had a new piece of coaster craft on the way. coasterpedia.net
The winter works were substantial for a family coaster: reports cite a concrete slab, hundreds of tonnes of wood, and half a million nails. It was engineering with sawdust on its sleeves, made ready for the 2016 season. fr.wikipedia.org
On 9 April 2016, Timber opened as part of the Explorer Adventure development at Walibi Rhône-Alpes. For visitors arriving from the Isère roads, the park had gained a compact wooden landmark with a cheerful pace and a low, welcoming profile. coasterpedia.net· coasterpedia.net
Walibi Rhône-Alpes still presents Timber among its principal thrill attractions, noting eleven buoyant moments and banked turns reaching fifty-nine degrees. The maker’s own figures give the ride its modest grandeur: seventeen metres high, 446 metres of track, and two twelve-passenger Timberliner trains. walibi.fr· thegravitygroup.com
