1.) Montu 2.) Batman The Ride: SFOT 3.) Goliath SFFT 4.) Dragon Challenge Chinese Fireball 5.) Dragon Challenge Hungarian Horntail - However we are riding Banshee this summer so I bet this list will change!!

Here we go: Silver Dollar City Wildfire: Wildflower Powder Keg: Powder Puff Outlaw Run: Outlaw Walk - Granted I can't take credit for these. Some of the ride operators at SDC were using these names when talking about visiting other attractions in the park. We still loved it.

Y: You, Me and Dupree

Outlaw Run is one of the coasters I never expected to see in this tread. Having rode it countless times we have never not had an amazing ride. It is an amazingly solid coaster from start to finish. If anything I think Outlaw Run is underhyped. But that's just my opinion. I feel like I'm going to be like you and be in the minority here because one of the most disappointing coasters I've ever been on was/is Kumba. I seriously don't get why enthusiast freak out for this coaster. Sure it's a decent ride, but in all the times I've ride the coaster I've never got off of the ride thinking "OMG! What an amazing ride." I always got off of the ride thinking "Eh, it was okay. But no desire to re-ride it today." Personally I prefer Wildfire at SDC to Kumba. But, again. That's just my opinion.

This is what I was thinking. Highly disappointed in this game. I'm sure it will appeal to people who are not enthusiast. But still. No.

The POV definitely made this ride more appealing to me. Looks like a very solid addition to the park, and looks like a really good B&M coaster.

Wow, love the new video. IMO: Makes this coaster look much more amazing than before.

Interesting topic. Some of my favorite airtime moments are: 1.) Pretty much all of Outlaw Run. 2.) Pretty much all of Maverick. 3.) SheiKra's first drop back row. 4.) Airtime on drop towers. Especially Intamin first generation! - That's all for now. More will come to me in time.

That's a Wednesday. It should be pretty slow. Usually the busy days are on the weekends. Unless that's the week of spring break. During spring break the park gets pretty busy. Also, in regards to the hours. SDC keeps their hours till 6pm until late spring I belive. It seems like a short day but even on a Saturday from about 11a-6p we had more than enough time to get everything done.

So glad PH is getting a makeover. It's about time. Can't wait to see the finished product. Disney never disappoints.

Looking really good. I like all of the little details you're taking the time to put in this recreation. Keep up the good work.

I apologize if this has been discussed before, but how do you go about making custom trains for the coasters?? I'm sure you build them in a program like sketchup, but how do you get them in the game. On the track, and working??? Any advice would be great. Thanks!

Judging by the lack of track in the background I don't think much of the layout is done yet. However, I'm with you. I can't wait to see some more of the layout as it progresses. Also, the trains look amazing!! Can't wait to see more.

I noticed that! Also, this coaster is looking simply amazing. It looks like a great addition to the park, can't wait to see the fully finished product.

I think the Trailblazer pass is all personal preference. We have never gone to the park on opening day just because of the fear of it being ridiculously busy. Some people will tell you not to get Trailblazer pass, and some will. Again, it's just personal preference. We don't like waiting in lines so we usually do get it when we go to the park. However, on the busiest day we have ever seen at the park the wait times never went over an hour for anything. (aside from Outlaw Run) And most of Outlaw Runs extended wait was due to down time. if you have the money to spend, and don't like to wait in line buy the Trailblazer pass. Is it necessary? No. If you have a full day at the park you should be fine even if it is super busy. Also in regards to the Trailblazer pass we always buy the unlimited pass. The 8 time is just not for us. Especially if you plan on riding the coasters several times each. So if you do decide to get the passes I would highly suggested unlimited. However, if you're getting to the park at opening then I would just play it by ear. See how busy the park is and buy the passes that day if they are needed. There is really no need to buy them in advance unless you just want to.

Stunning photos. Thanks for sharing! Some of the best I've seen if the event!!

While at Silver Dollar City be sure to ride Powder Keg and Wildfire. Powder Keg is a really fun launched roller coaster. We personally think it is the best in the front row, and you get some nice airtime over the first hill in the front row. The back row will give you more airtime (obviously) over the first hill and the last drop, but it will be a little more rough in the transition into the brakes at the bottom of the lift hill. Wildfire has beautiful views on the left going up the lift hill, so try to sit front row left side for your first ride, and the view at the top of the lift hill, after it goes around the turn just before the drop are beautiful. Also try to get a second ride in on Wildfire but sit in the back row on the right side. You'll get some really nice air on the first drop. Thunderation is a pretty fun mine train coaster. Definitely worth riding while you're at the park. Ride towards the back of the train for the best experience. Fire In The Hole is by no means a high thrill ride. But it is worth riding. We ride it every time we go to the park. It's a nice way to get off your feet, relax, and it has some fun drops. Outlaw Run is amazing. Obviously. We have ridden it hundreds of times and we both think it's a front seat ride. Don't do second row. Wait the extra 5-10 minutes for the first row. It is worth it. Giant Barn Swing is a really fun, relaxing yet still thrilling ride. Definitely worth riding. Also, be sure to do the skillet food. It is absolutely amazing. There is also a nice little eatery near Thunderation that has an amazing smoked sausage on a bun (similar to a hot dog) that is to die for. We usually have skillet food early in the day and the the smoked sausage meal in the afternoon and its pleanty of food for us. -- Not sure what your budget, or your schedule looks like. But if you have the time I would definitely make a visit to the Titanic museum. It is something we really enjoy. Hope this helps a little, and hope you enjoy your visit!

Food. Then Outlaw Run. Then Wildfire!

interesting. When we bought our unlimited Trailblazer Pass last season I emailed the park before we bought the passes because the website said the passes were only good for one ride on Outlaw Run. They park said that the pass was good for unlimited rides on Outlaw Run the website had just not been updated yet, and was still saying limited to one ride on Outlaw Run because that's how it was the year Outlaw Run opened. We bought our passes and we had unlimited rides on Outlaw Run the entire day. It's werid if they have changed that.

We are looking at doing a stop by Kings Island on our way to Cedar Point this summer. We will have from opening till about 5/6pm at the park. We have a few questions that I'm hoping you all can help out with! 1.) How busy do you all think the park will be on a Friday towards the end of July? 2.) For those of you who visit the park frequently what do you think wait times would look like during our visit? 3.) Should we purchase Fast Lane Plus? 4.) Any specific order we should try to hit the attractions to minimize wait times? I think this is the majority of our questions for now. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

So glad to see a lift for the rafts. Not having to carry the tubes up the stairs is such a nice relief.

I'm sorry if I am in a minority here, but when I ride a roller coaster, I am spending to much time enjoying the ride to worry about what is going on under the coaster. If Scream were a Disney coaster, and it was built on a parking lot I could see the need to complain, but it's not a Disney coaster, and it is a coaster none the less. So can we move on from the "OMG Scream was built in a parking lot, and they never did anything to change it. OMG After all these years that haven't even repainted the parking lot stripes" rant now?? I feel like this all started when someone complained about Scream being built over a parking lot, someone agreed with them, then more people agreed with them... and now people who have never even been to SFMM or even know that Scream has a parking lot under it are complaining because everyone else is. If I go the rest of my life without EVER hearing about Scream and it's parking lot again, I will die a happy person. That is all I have to say, and all I ever will say about this damn Scream parking lot mess. Okay... /EndRant

I just noticed the clear section you are talking about! That is awesome! Glad you pointed it out!

when I rode Ka many years ago I remember the launch being the most rough part of the ride. It was awful compared to Dragster. However it's been years so I don't know how things have changed in time.
