Silver Dollar City (SDC) Discussion Thread

[Swornenemy]

Awesome. Looks to be quite an intense ride, really fast pacing. Now I need to find a way to make it out there.

[BeemerBoy]

Something's just not right yet. C'mon, someone post something negative about it so we can call it official.

 

 

Anyway, now I'm really looking forward to a September visit even more!

[DJeXeL]

^I was kind of hoping it would have a launch. It sucks cause it doesn't have a launch. Now thread is complete.

[A.J.]

Allow me.

 

This coaster stinks because it's going to lower Phoenix's rank on the polls next year...

[Guy T. Koepp]

^^You call that a gripe? I know coaster enthusiasts, and you sir are no coaster enthusiast! We all knew in advance it wouldn't have a launch.

 

^^^Allow me to placate you. I think the trees look like crap with no leaves on them! Not having ridden it, this ride sucks a$$ as far as I'm concerned until all the foliage has grown in around it. Shame on you SDC for not glueing leaves on the trees so we don't get the full Outlaw Run experience this early in the season. Once again, you have failed the coaster community on an epic level. I weep this day for our children.

[JJLehto]

I have to wait until 2014 to ride it.

How's that? : P

[CpBluestreakCp]

I couldn't even say anything bad about it if I wanted to, it just looks too awesome! I'm hoping one day I can get out to SDC to experience this. Thanks for the footage, Robb!

All I had at the moment.

In all seriousness though.......looks amazing! Can't wait to see the full update.

I dont know, that chain lift was pretty fast..pretty much a launch as far as woodie chain lifts go..

 

I have to wait until 2014 to ride it.

How's that? : P

Thats pretty much my only gripe, that I'm 2,000 miles away.

[Philrad71]

Holy moly...that looks effing amazing!

 

Sure hope that I can get to do one of these hybrid coasters VERY soon!

 

Edit: Loved the commentary about how much ass it really did kick!

[cfc]

Just watched the whole video, and Outlaw Run looks like a perfect ride for Silver Dollar City--a great addition to an already solid coaster lineup.

[rcjp]

Just watched the POV. Looks totally insane! Really sweet and twisty! I suppose it really can kick all sorts of A$$.

Well done Rocky mountain!

[BenFreeze]

That POV just makes me want to ride it even more! I really hope I'm able to this summer!

[coasterlover420]

I love that it sounds like a wooden coaster I thought since it's RMC it would sound smooth like ntag but the wooden track seems to be doing it's job I hope it feels a bit like a wood coaster too, I love that feeling

[gisco]

Wow, that looks like it is an awesome ride. Great footage Robb!

[Blue Fire Guy]

That was some of the dirtiest, filthiest coaster porn I have ever seen. I need a cold shower now...

 

AMAZING footage of a coaster that I'm absolutely sure will get into the top ten on the Mitch Hawker poll later this year, I mean, just LOOK at Robb being thrust into the restraint so forcefully due to the airtime! Insane, absolutely insane. Kudos to RMC and SDC for making this masterpiece come into being!

Thats pretty much my only gripe, that I'm 2,000 miles away.

Same here, but it's definitely a coaster I want to hit up in the coming years. I hope that (even with the combination of RMC trains and Topper Track) it holds up well and doesn't get too rough in the future, as it does look very intense.

[Millennium_Maverick]

I was refreshing Twitter all day waiting for the POV. It looks like I should start planning my first trip to SDC. This ride looks fantastic and the perfect addition for the park. I can't wait to ride it and if it's anything like NTAG, it won't disappoint.

[johnychen]

As always, amazing video Robb.

 

I actually have a free weekend this week and I live 10 hours away. I am really tempted to do a road trip now.

[firewalk13]

Amazing POV, great stuff Robb. Thanks!!

[ytterbiumanalyst]

As much as I've been watching the construction all last year, it really feels like this video shows off more than I've seen even in person. A ride isn't a ride until there are people on it.

 

SDC is very much intertwined in the culture and economy of the Ozarks, and whatever they do feels like something the community has accomplished. This ride is a real achievement, and I find it amazing that so many of you are so excited for something us backwoods country folk have put together. We're overlooked by so many so much of the time it is genuinely surprising when people from far away stop to pay attention to us. I hope y'all like it; I'll be there this weekend myself.

Wow that's a really cool thing to hear

 

The cold irony...the opening DID end up lining up with my time off after all. Though with a general "march" date no way I could've risked it, and had to plan my vaca days a few weeks ago. Damn. Ah well, 2014 a road trip is on order! It may just end at SDC me thinks!

 

For what it's worth, 2 members at CF have ranked Outlaw Run 2/723 above El Toro and 6/266 above Voyage

Ho-ly crap

[cgodsey]

This ride is the real deal. It does things wooden coasters shouldn't do, it feels so wrong! Unreal maneuvers, extreme airtime, hangtime during the inversions...Its a top 5 coaster for sure!

[JJLehto]

Just wow.

Can't believe how wow'd Robb and others were.

 

Let's not forget we still have to see IRat in action!

Plus the New Texas Giant...RMC are gunna be major players for the future!

[simaticable]

Are we all forgetting that this is the same company that helped build El Toro? We all knew that this was going to be a kick - ass ride for years to come.

[Jew]

Looks incredible! I absolutely love that we are entering a new age for wooden roller coasters, with the RMC coasters+Intamin pre-fabs raising the bar!
