I, for one, appreciate the fact that the video doesn't use the same tired symphonic metal that every simulated coaster POV in the world feels compelled to have.

[chadster]

Note: The same people that did the virtual POV for Wild Eagle have done this one, and it's pretty amazing. The more you know.

Don't forget the trippy techno music that accompanies on-ride videos of coasters and flats (be it simulated or real) in Europe...

[DougMJr]

But I like trippy Techno music!

[boweryboy]

This coaster is all kinds of awesome.

[Sir Clinksalot]

This looks absolutely amazing. Other than the lift is there any straight track on this thing!!!

[chadster]

^Not really!

 

Super happy you guys are enjoying the photos!!

[LawlessBagel]

Just like Texas Giant last year, this is my most anticipated ride of 2013.

 

I'd have to agree for now but with you but that could change as the Rattler transforms.

 

I will say it's my most anticipated ride of 2013 that i will actually ride next year, but Gatekeeper and whatever Alton Towers builds are a close 2nd and 3rd. I'm worried Gatekeeper will be forceless thought.

[Jhcbiinoc]

Those photos are great! This seriously looks to be as if it will be one of the most talked about new coasters of 2013. The three coasters I would love to be able to hit next year, as far as new coasters are:

 

1. Gatekeeper

2. Outlaw Run

3. Iron Rattler

 

I'm also hoping that Outlaw Run turns out as good as I believe it will. I'd love to see Herschend add something like this at Dollywood in a few years.

[robbalvey]

Complete ride video has been released!

 

[A.J.]

Of course, they decide to cut the POV to an offride shot just as you're about to go through the top of the inverted camel toe...

 

Those sneaky editors! I like the RollerCoaster Tycoon sound effects.

[cfc]

I like how it just whips past the trees in some segments. It's great when a park maintains as much of the natural landscape as possible.

[ernierocker]

The trees will really add a lot to the ride! Can't wait to see some testing POVs!

[DougMJr]

I know the images and the POV doesn't do this ride justice. I know I'm going to be blown away when I see it in person!

[ytterbiumanalyst]

The POV we've been waiting for! I can't wait to see those trees in person!

[mightypotato]

I don't think I've been as excited for a new ride as I am for Outlaw Run.

 

This looks fantastic.

[Erik Johnson]

Looks great! Thanks for posting!

Co-workers can overhear me making noises while looking at these pictures and they are assuming I'm watching porn. They are correct, in ways they do not understand.

 

Chadster, you are a demi-god for bringing us these updates.

 

Dude! Are you hittin' it to coaster porn at work? Even I don't stoop that low. Much.

 

I tossed my dignity out the window a LONG time ago.

 

This POV is bonkers. Are we looking at the best ending to a roller coaster ever created?

[Shavethewhales]

I think the POV, just like the concept art, really doesn't even come close to giving the proper jaw-dropping impression of this coaster that you get from seeing it in person. To me,the POV makes it seem a bit shorter and less twisted than it is IRL. You never can expect too much from concept art, but with this ride especially the real product is so twisted and follows the terrain so well that it's incredibly difficult to portray with artwork.

 

The rolling drop is so sweet though. It's hard to pick a favorite part of this coaster, but that little element sure gets overlooked with all the crazy inversions, overbanks, and whatever the hell that wave turn is.

[ProwlerPrey]

Outlaw Run was already by far my most anticipated ride for 2013..... And then this video came out.

[mike_kelly]

At a 1:30 it's gonna be klind of a short ride. But you know the ride on El Toro is last than :15 longer.

 

Should be fun, just heard a rumor that first rides are being given away to members for Herschend family and a guest. No fun, would have been a good way to help a chidrens charity.

[coasterfreak101]

They can still auction off a public train. It's not like the 'first riders' in any auction are actually the first riders - mechanics, higher-up personnel, and I would think the guys from whichever design firm did the ride at the least have all ridden it before anyone in the public ever takes a seat.

[chadster]

^You would be correct. Tradition with Herschend is that Mr. Herschend gets his choice of either train for the first ride of humans. Then others follow suit including employees

 

2013 Season passes are now on sale....

[almightyfire]

It was too short as I expected once I saw the Pictures. It looks exciting but the ride isnt lenghty enough for me to fly there. DARN!

[chadster]

^The actual ride length is 1:27 as listed on the ride fact sheet. The video is not 1:27.
