and the moving track table is liable to slip in wet conditions. Or at least this is what I've been told by attendants when it closes down...
Even more you would think that they could build a themed roof on this as many riders as they lose do to closing the ride after a rain.

Yeah, you'd think by now they'd have covered that section up with a roof if it is such a problem.

So With the new ride which by all rights should should be awesome, does anyone think they will raise season pass ticket prices very much

As I wrote on the trip review thread today after my trip (Aug. 17th) I was blown away by the progress on the new coaster. I had not been on park since May, and, well, this ride is gonna kick butt! Well done, SDC! (By the way, there were still many places on park to pick up the special Outlaw Run pathfinders, so if you get to the park in the next week or so, you should be able to pick one up if interested. I also noticed many of the "citizens" wearing Outlaw run buttons on their costumes today. The conductor on the train also talked about the ride and gave specifics about it...such as the 81 degree drop, the barrel rolls, and so on.

They just announced the dates for coaster Christmas this year (December 1st) who's planning to go? I'll be there! I think come December they will give us a real sweet walk back tour! We might even get a good look at the trains!  ;D

I had never heard of Coaster Christmas before finding this place. I did some Google-ing, and it sounds like a lot of fun! Now I just need to work on convincing DH I need to go!

EDIT: Well poo! Just read closer, and you have to be the guest of a member to go. :( Ya'll have fun!

I'm hoping to go to Coaster Christmas. I have never gone, so I might bring along my friend. It just depends. It sounds really fun though!

FTR - you can get a 6 month trial membership for ACE that is relatively inexpensive and you are "good to go" for Coaster Christmas.

I find it odd and very dissatisfying that SDC hyped the "unveiling" announcement for OR over the course of months, and there's been virtually nothing added to the promo site since. No additional photos of ongoing construction progress, no interviews with officials from RMC or SDC about the ride. And no POV video.

It's like having a carrot dangled in front of your face, and someone telling you you can look at hit, but can't have a taste for eight months.

Just seems like another missed marketing opportunity to keep the momentum going into season ticket sale time later this year. But I guess I'm also looking at it through the lens of an enthusiast, versus the general public who probably could care less about knowing more about all the little details and idiosyncracies of this increasingly anticipated ride.

Incidentally, rumors are circling that the redo of the Rattler (Iron Rattler) down at Six Flags Fiesta Texas will also feature a barrel roll.  It's a race to be first, now, I guess.
