Re: Silver Dollar City |"Outlaw Run"| Wooden Hybrid Coaster
I wholeheartedly agree with Tom. If this wasn't being built in BFE Missouri, people would be blowing their loads over it. And just to beat the dead horse with regard to the inversions, the idea of a wooden coaster with inversions has always been there. Nobody thought of a steel roller coaster until the 50's. Every roller coaster prior to Matterhorn Bobsleds was wood. That means that those innovative bastards down at Coney Island were experimenting with loops made OUT OF WOOD. Unfortunately for them, their technology was much more primitive than ours today and they didn't know about clothoids. I'm honestly surprised that it took this long for somebody to finally try a true wooden inversion again.
As for airtime, I have a feeling that this is going to be chock full of it. There's probably many small directional changes and pops of airtime that can't be seen in the rendering.
