Outlaw Run Media Day and Opening Day

Re: Outlaw Run Media Day

Nice reports guys, and glad to see the coaster exceeds the already high expectations!

Loved the interview with Fred Grubb too - looks like we should be seeing even more astounding and revolutionary stuff from RMC in the coming years. I hadn't a clue that he and his wife helped out on El Toro too, brilliant!

Yeah, Silver Dollar City has become a must-go for the future, and with the ride being so silky smooth with a guarantee that it'll remain that way for at least the next 5 years, I've got plenty of time to save up again and come back over :p
 
Re: Outlaw Run Media Day

Aww this wasn't the guy from IAAPA who looked like Einstein on acid, he still seems like a really cool guy and I'm glad RMC came out to answer questions. Also I like the 'no revisions, right the first time' response Grubb gave, really shows how confident RMC is with their designing.

That it is but maybe stereotypical, when I hear Branson I think sickening levels of Americana and really cliche family stuff.

Keep in mind unless there's ever an official CF trip (do we even do those?) or something out there this has to be in context of a normal person trip haha

We've had a CF Live in the United States in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2012, and hopefully this year. Not been checking the forums? :)

You know I'm a n00b, and tend to check CF mostly when I'm bored at work since it's never firewalled.

How smooth is Outlaw Run? Does it have any shake at all?
 
Re: Outlaw Run Media Day

When he stated in the interview that he would have a upcoming rehab coaster coming soon, with the rumours of Colossus at SFMM getting the treatment, That's what I think he was talking about.

Re: Outlaw Run Media Day

It looks amazing <3.

I really can't wait to see the reviews of Rattler and then the next projects.
 
Re: Outlaw Run Media Day

They mentioned it on Fox News a few minutes ago. They said something like "This roller coaster is just now opening, the "Outlaw Run" at Silver Dollar City. Look at this crazy drop at 81 degrees almost straight down. It is the first wooden roller coaster to go upside down and is opening as we speak".

Re: Outlaw Run Media Day

Looks good :--D Great job Jerry & Marcus!

I would be interested to know whether they're going to build something in Europe soon? So far RMC has been America exclusive.. Would love to see an iron horse/topper track creation popping up somwhere a bit closer! :)
 
Re: Outlaw Run Media Day

If these positive reviews keep pouring in from their creations this year, you can bet your ass they will be overseas soon. :)
 
Re: Outlaw Run Media Day

Just as I suspected - they found a niche and delivered. It's good to hear all the positive reviews of this ride. I can't wait to see all the innovation they can throw at us in the future.
 
OPENING DAY!!

We also stayed to see what everyone else thought. Here are the pictures from that sexy day!

Overall, everyone who rode the ride enjoyed it. I couldn't find someone who wasn't smiling. I was glad we could enjoy all the time we spent with everyone there. Silver Dollar City has a hell of a ride on their hands. Everyone get there as soon as you can to enjoy this beast.
 
I had to wait until opening day to be able to film off-ride footage with full trains. Here's what I was able to capture before they closed off the restricted areas.
