My initial reaction to the layout art yesterday was one of a little disappointment. I believe I may have reacted too quickly upon studying it a little more last night. First and foremost, the art does not give any credence whatsoever to the terrain this coaster sits on and winds through. It looks as if the entire ride is practically sitting on a relatively flat parcel of land, which we all know couldn't be further from reality.
The artwork is also a little deceiving in that it really doesn't seem to show another significant drop beyond the initial. But again, we have to keep in mind that this coaster will definitely utilize the onsite terrain to its advantage. In case you care to know a little more, but still don't want to see the layout, here are a few other details to help your imaginations wander a little more before you feast your eyes on the layout and videos unveiled at the big announcement next week.
The mind boggling element we've speculated on and watched take shape next to the tracks is being called an outside stall. It's just one of three record breaking elements on Outlaw Run. This coaster looks to provide four sections to maximize airtime, and at least three sections pushing nice lateral G's. Don't know if any track has been laid through the lift yet, but depending on how aggressive they get with the clearance, we might also expect a nice headchopper when when the train races back through the lift. The train will be hurling 80ft. uphill as it goes through the double barrel roll, which will be the last section of track before the train turns sharply right into the brake run.
