Silver Dollar City (SDC) Discussion Thread

[-Edge of Beast-]

Hmmm, at least one CTPR person is on this train, can anyone spy him? Yes, it's a him, TPR has like 3 girls in its membership.

 

I think I see them.

 

I have to agree and say that Outlaw Run is now my favorite woodie as well! The layout was superb and the double barrel rolls provided the best hangtime I've ever experienced on a coaster.

 

Excellent report Chad!

^Thanks! Sorry we weren't able to meet up

All the videos, the photos, the descriptions: wow. I have GOT to get back to this park soon. What else can you say, but congratulations to SDC and RMC for what looks like an absolutely perfect attraction, from top to bottom. The Outlaw Run logo, cut out of steel? I'm design-geeking hard over that. And all the theming, so nice.

That looks just about perfect. Beautiful queue and station house, too!

 

It's also nice to see the trains aren't (or don't appear to be) El Toro restrictive to big boys like myself.

The part I found most humorous was that the train they were running on Sunday was covered with go-pro mounts. The front ledge next to the seat had two, one mounted forward and one mounted backward.

We witnessed a person of junior ACE size ride on Wednesday so there shouldn't be any worries if you come in under 300.

Finally looked through the photos of this monster...looking at it alone already got my adrenaline going! One of these days, I'll have to make it a point to get over there, be it a trip with friends/TPR members or a TPR trip. The most bizarre-feeling/looking thing to me is that sideways airtime hump. Having airtime and lats simultaneously while sitting upride is bizarre enough...so I'm now interested to see how it feels being rotated 90 degrees.

Great photos from the media day Robb! Looks like an amazing coaster. I really need to make it out to Silver Dollar City one of these days as it looks like a great park.

[Tmcdllr]

Awesome report! Awesome ride!

 

"Hair explosion girl"....LOL

 

So Robb, did you like it just a little?

 

Btw, was the interview you did for a local news channel or a coasters show?

[zunkified]

Looks like I'm going Thursday/Friday/Saturday next week! Anyone interested in meeting up for some rides?

[taytig]

What I love about the look of this ride and the trains is that there really doesn't appear to be anything to "hold on to" while you are riding. This could create anxiety for some but in a great way! Love it!

[aLFREd_25]

Looking at Chad's report, it makes me really want to get out to SDC. I had planned a trip for this weekend, but it looks like snow is going to be a delay on that. Soon enough!

[jfruge]

^

Yes...we are due for up to 8 inches of snow tomorrow and Friday, with a second round of snow coming Sunday.

[Mohead]

Sadly the media day trip report was lacking in the photos of me. Just the one is cool though!!! And I still owe you oral Robb.

[Coaster Curt]

Is RMC the only company that has the technology to make a coaster like Outlaw Run? If they are a fairly small company we might not see a ton of new coasters from them.

[WildStangAlex]

Custom coasters was a small company and look how many coasters we've seen from them. Same can be said about really any coaster manufacturer. B&M, Vekoma, and intamin are probably the biggest, but everyone else is what you can call "small."

Well Gravity Group is re-making Hades 360. Thats still wood, And i remember an interview from IAPPA with GCI, where they said the Millennium Flyer trains are and have been capable to handle an inversion

[cfc]

Just got off the phone with my Dad, who asked, "You going to Branson to ride that big, new rolly coaster?" Yes, Outlaw Run's fame has spread to Elk Grove, California.

Thats funny! It is indeed an awesome looking coaster! Would love to experience it someday

[MisterP]

I went on Opening Day and the next day, and the coaster is indeed amazing.

 

I would post my pictures, but they would pale in comparison to Robb's. It would be like me and my middle-aged white man body bragging about my junk while showering with the Dallas Mavericks.

 

But yeah, Outlaw Run packs a whallop in a smallish package (no pun intended ).

 

 

 

 

.....and oh yeah, and lets hear it for Silver Dollar City, and Outlaw Run & its SINGLE RIDER LINE!!!!!

It's good to know that Outlaw has a single rider line! Did it move at a reasonable rate while you were there opening day?

[Woodie Warrior]

There's a single rider line at Outlaw Run?

 

I was there opening day and didn't see one, in fact, in the row next to me there was a group of three, and a single rider asked if he could join up with the odd man out.

[Daytona'95]

At the park now and its a neat experience with snow all over, the area got about 2-4 inches last night. Most rides aren't open nor will they till the temperature rises above 37. But it makes for great photo ops. I'll attempt to upload some later tonight.

[SharkTums]

^Would love to see the photo's, thanks!

[Mohead]

Love me some Wallcrawler action!!!! I miss it already!!
