Looks like the station is already going up, and the lift has to be mostly done. I think this thing could be done by the end of July.

I am wondering if the Outlaw name will stick or not since the Nearby Adventureland park just outside Des Moines, IA already has a wooden roller coaster called "Outlaw". Being how close the 2 parks are I am wondering if the name will be able to stick or not. It doesn't appear that Adventureland had the name registered as a Trademark as I can tell. I know that Six Flags did at one time register the name "Outlaw" as a Ride in 1990 (Trademark Serial #74094045 Dir Link: http://tarr.uspto.gov/servlet/tarr?regser=serial&entry=74094045 ) but it was not a successful registration or it was ABANDONED. Since HFEC did register the name as "The Outlaw" instead of "Outlaw" it might not cause a problem, but we shall see. Just remember the Trademark Serial #85551115 for "The Outlaw". A direct link to the Trademark entry is here: http://tarr.uspto.gov/servlet/tarr?regser=serial&entry=85551115 You can keep up on the status of the mark on that page.

The Outlaw is not the same as Outlaw when it comes to trademarking.  This is how WOF was able to trademark The Patriot even though a coaster already existed called Patriot.

But it sure doesnt fool anyone into thinking SDC is being very unique with their names does it........

How 'bout "Revenge of the Bolin Brothers?" or "The Baldknobber" or "This is where the 1st Robber's Shack was but they tore it down and now this rollercoaster is here?" Maybe "Hobo Junction Express."

I still like the name and concept better than "The Bull".  But I still would have rode it even if it was the Bull.

The only ones that will have an issue are the enthuiASSes.  Most if not all of their market guests have never heard of Adventureland and/or care they have a wooden coaster by the same name.

Totally agree. And I'm totally happy they went down this road rather than something like The Bull. It's true to the theme of the park. Any new pictures to share, anyone?

Ouch, that was clever...

They could have called it The Boar or Wild Boar. Ain't nothing( other than a bear or rattler) that's  more hair raising than coming across one out in the Ozarks and it's all pee'd off. Best have your 45 handy.

I like "The Baldknobber" keeps history of the park alive.  The third choice is bittersweetly humorous

If you think about it, it's a departure for SDC

Fire in the Hole
Thunderation
Wildfire
PowderKeg

All  have a Fire or Boom element to their name

[BackInTime]

I can give you several alternative naming options that would be original and interesting. Problem is, nothing is ever going to please everyone.

I'm just thrilled we're finally getting the long awaited woodie this park has always needed and deserved. And all indications are HFEC is doing it right – starting with the name/theme.

Embrace it, folks. This is going to be a fantastic ride and addition to SDC.

The Boar or Wild Boar

That is a fun idea!

I honestly do not care about the name as long as the theme is outta this world and the ride is amazing! I am not there for the name I am there for the thrills....
