Outlaw Run, a Rocky Mountain coaster made with wood and their Topper Track steel technology, opens at Silver Dollar City in 2013. Through their new wood coaster technology, Rocky Mountain delivers another splash after their revamp of Texas Giant with a custom, built-from-scratch coaster that features a very steep drop and three inversions!

Where's the 3rd inversion? I see the double barrel rolls. Sounds like a great coaster. Surely only one of many woodies to come with multiple inversions. Is the image of the barrel roll on a woodie from this coaster (posted a few days ago on SSC)? Very interesting to see the barrel rolls on an incline, a very good speed reduction technique.

Wow, that's a lot of records:

The third inversion, or first actually, is the outside banked turn. It's just a variation of a 0-g roll:

TPR posted a teaser, using some footage from another woodie mixed with what looks like NoLimits.
I haven't been this excited for a wooden coaster since SOB.
I hope the ride is smoother than that scrap heap.

What's a double down and up, and a wave turn?

[Antinos]

This is a double up(up, flat, up, flat):




A double down is the opposite. A wave turn, from what I understand, is this but with only one track:

[RollerManiac]

Does anyone know what kind of restraints it'll have? From what I've heard, it is rumored to get lap bars.

[Knexrule11]

I thought I read somewhere (maybe here) that it was going to get Timberliners or Millennium Flyers. I might be thinking of something else though.

[pkiknex25]

I have no idea where that came from, but neither GravityGroup nor GCI would allow that. Ever.

I would actually love to see PTC trains on this. Since they will run on topper track they should be smooth, and it would look super sexy to see those cars on this coaster.

[pkiknex25]

Yeah... PTC and twisty don't go together... It would be going through the barrel rolls and we'd be seeing pieces flying left and right off it.

Okay thanks! This coaster is going to be awesome!

But there are PTC trains on The Voyage?

EDIT: Nevermind.

^ And they've torn up Voyage's track like no other.

I went to Brandson MO, For my churches mission Trip, and i saw the lift of a wooden coaster and the station and it wasnt running and i was like what?. So appernently that was outlaw:D
P.S. We didnt go to the park we went to the Water Park that was near it:D.

:'( Is it, actually, rough? Uncomfortably rough? That would break my heart. :'(

[pkiknex25]

^ I heard some reports that it was pretty rough in the years past, but I know they did A LOT of trackwork (and one section redesigned and rebuilt) the past offseason and it was much better.

[Maxwell58]

^I'm glad to hear that. It looks like such a perfect coaster and i would absolutely hate to see it be uncomfortably rough.
