Latest weather, possible record highs tomorrow, Storms late Sat nite and Sunday morning.

I can't get over how freaking fast this ride is. RMC must have put rockets on the back of the train, cause it HAULS! I can't wait to try this out myself.

For those of you wanting a little more Outlaw Run, check out this off-ride and reverse POV video!

I'll have photos and a full media day report up soon!

[JRHcoasterki]

^Robb, you are truly awesome. AMAZING videos! I can't wait to read the report!

[zunkified]

Awesome video, Robb! Really shows how much this thing hauls through the course. What are your personal thoughts on the different elements of the ride? I know you think it kicks all kinds of @$$ (I'm really just asking for your personal review, haha.)

[John_RN]

That offride footage of the barrell roll is a thing of beauty. It is hauling ass!!

[cfc]

The reverse POV is excellent footage. You really get a feel for the terrain this ride is built on.

[robbalvey]

We also shot an absolutely STUNNING full 1080p front seat POV mounted right on the very front of the train. The POV I posted yesterday was the B-roll the park gave us, but man, the weather and lighting was PERFECT for this footage!

 

I think we'll keep it exclusive for the next Blu-Ray!

^That is an amazing picture. I love how the whole ride goes through the woods.

Imagine what it will look like when those trees get their color back and the foliage grows in!

[Lightning9SX]

It will look amazing in early August!

[TBpony414]

Yowza, that train really flies over the track!! Very cool footage and photos, thanks Robb for posting them. Looks like a really fun ride!

[chadster]

^It kicks all types of ass

[thrillerman1]

Incredible photo, Robb! Thank you for sharing.

[Wes]

Goodness gracious this ride looks amazing.

[robbalvey]

^ There's a few spots open on the Texas/Mid-West Trip! (and really, only a few!)

[Wes]

^ Tempting....

[Taylor Finn]

This is incredible. Thank you for the awesome coverage of this monster. Amazing videos and photos; this ride will tear through those woods at night. Just incredible what they have built.

[jray21]

Loving the reverse footage! It gives a unique perspective of the ride. Great job!

[ScottyDoesKnow]

Video I put together with my footage from this week! Come Fly With Me! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wg_VN9nV3vE&feature=youtu.be

Sadly I just don't have the time or $$ esp since I have CP and WCB planned.

Unless I could do just SDC but still quite a bit of $ to put down and it'd be a waste of a tour spot.

 

I'll just have to wait till 2014 or find some people willing to go to MO/run into a ton of cash

[Zingoman]

That off ride footage really shows how sick and fast this thing is! Sweet giblets I cannot WAIT to get there and ride!!

[aLFREd_25]

I just turned on the tv, and saw Robb on some news footage here in Tulsa, kind of took me by surprise. Outlaw Run looked amazing. I love reading all the reviews, watching footage, and such. I was going to go to Branson this weekend, but I'll wait till the Spring Break crowds die down. I'm dying to ride this thing!

[RoCo]

Just watched the off-ride and reverse POV footage; WOW. Great work, as always, and damn it to hell, I need to get back to SDC immediately. Can you make a MidWest trip an annual thing?

[Rotura Violenta]

I'm curious as to what the sensation of that first inversion thing is like. It looks like it'd be part zero-g, part hang-time? There's some really fascinating stuff going on with this one, and it's nice to see wooden technology develop.
