beastrider97 Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 The ride looks absolutely crazy. Silver Dollar City is really putting themselves on the map with this one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBEASTunchained Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 This should be one heck of a good coaster.....I'll be sure to try to ride it next year!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamondbacker Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I just found out about this coaster. Wow. I think I would ride it, but I'm just iffy about a double barrel roll on a wood coaster. It looks to be stable, and it wouldn't be built had it not been safe, but you never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 it wouldn't be built had it not been safe SOB was built. Some would argue that it was not safe. It sent how many people to the hospital, again? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamondbacker Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 ^Good point. That's why I'm not sure if I would ride it. We all know about wooden roller coasters with inversions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 We do? What specifically about the inversion caused the problems? Terpy, ever curious. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 We do? What specifically about the inversion caused the problems? Terpy, ever curious. Indeed. I was just pointing out that sometimes things are built that are not safe. I never said anything about the loop being the problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye Brad Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 "What specifically about the inversion caused the problems?" A lawyer could argue that the loop is at fault here. 1. If not for the LOOP, perhaps a more reliable vendor could have designed and built KI's 2000 coaster 2. If not for the LOOP being 118 feet tall (and in the middle of the ride), the coaster could have been smaller, and therefore perhaps designed by a more reliable vendor 3. If not for the LOOP being 118 feet tall (and in the middle of the ride), the trains could have been lighter, and might not have beat up the track so badly 4. If not for the LOOP, the coaster could have possibly run standard, more comfortable trains 5. If not for the putting all of their eggs in the LOOP, the designers might have designed a more thrilling, well rounded coaster So you see your honor, even though the LOOP was the smoothest, most trouble free part of the coaster, the LOOP is actually behind all of the problems. -Buckeye Brad, who is not really being serious but showing how easy it is to invert the truth. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Much of that could also be said that were it not for Paramount's insistence that the coaster be the tallest, fastest and only looping wooden coaster on the planet the coaster would have been far more reliable, safe and comfortable. In jest there is truth..., 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamondbacker Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 We do? What specifically about the inversion caused the problems? Terpy, ever curious. Notice I didn't say that the inversion caused the problem at all. I simply said that we all know about a wooden roller coaster with an inversion, Son of Beast(used to, at least).

TTD-120-420 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 (edited) I have never been there, but is it really as woodsy as that video makes it out to be? Yes, I just made up "woodsy." Edited November 1, 2012 by TTD-120-420 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flightoffear1996 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 There are some serious head choppers in that video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendrick Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Coaster looks awesome, but the ride seems so short, I don't see myself making any travel plans for it. But if I'm ever in the area, I'll be sure to stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCrypt Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 I hate it when parks do that. They combine a POV and an offride into the same video. Apart from that, it looks to be a fast moving coaster with good pacing (except for that awkward trick track around 0:35). I certainly won't be heading out there solely for Outlaw Run, but I may just to experience the park again. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DontWantToWait42mar0 Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 This coaster looks so awesome! I'd actually pefer this over a B&M giga for SoB's cleared space. Although the B&M would be the safer investment imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DontWantToWait42mar0 Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 The head choppers almost look to be cutting it too close! And I thought going into the double helix after the second lift hill on The Beast was something..Does anyone suppose they would be able to touch the top of the opening?
