OUTLAW RUN | SILVER DOLLAR CITY 2013


Silver Dollar City Announces Record Breaking Woodie.

BRANSON, MISSOURI

Silver Dollar City a new 10-million dollar record breaking wooden rollercoaster built by Rocky Mountain Construction Company.


Thrill ride enthusiasts around the world will mark a first-of-its-kind ride debut at Branson, Missouri’s Silver Dollar City in Spring 2013 when the 1880s-style theme park makes history with the opening of Outlaw Run, the world’s most daring wood coaster.


The park’s biggest investment in a single ride in the past decade, the new $10 million ride sends passengers soaring through the Ozark Mountains on a ground-breaking wood coaster that includes several firsts. World's steepest drop on a wood coaster - more than 16 stories,162-foot drop at 81 degrees, that's nearly vertical! World's only wood coaster to twist upside down a record-breaking three inversions including a 720-degree (double) barrel roll! Second fastest wood coaster in the world Top speed of 68 mph, world’s fastest wood coaster on steel wheels!


Silver Dollar City, highly awarded for theme development, designs attractions with compelling storylines to bring projects to life with real history in mind. In the creative concept, Outlaw Run goes beyond the outskirts of the safe haven of the 1880s Silver Dollar City to a storied place where civility is waning and outlaws may lurk. Passengers, setting out with brave new dreams of vast America, board the Western Missouri Stagecoach Company– where, during treacherous travel, and at any minute, a wild chase could ensue. “All generations will enjoy this bold and daring ride where the ‘good guys always win, leaving the bad guys in the dust,’” Thomas said.


The new ride takes advantage of the natural mountain terrain, with a more than 10-story lift that leads to a 162-foot drop (16 stories) into a valley. Custom-designed “stagecoach” trains,fashioned after the iconic Concord stagecoaches of the time period,take riders on a journey of unexpected drops, thrilling twists and rolling inversions. Riders soar through nine locations where they will experience “airtime” – or weightlessness.


Outlaw Run joins a lineup of popular coasters including the multi-looping steel coaster WildFire and the launch coaster PowderKeg. The park collaborated with Idaho-based Rocky Mountain Construction on the innovative engineering, design and construction of the new ride. Minimum height requirement is 48 inches.




Outlaw Run will open with the park in Spring 2013.
