We've eaten at the Springhouse multiple times, especially since it's one of the few places with vegetarian options. Hopefully whatever replaces it has some variety.

Got an email today from the park with a link to the following teaser video:

Could this be an early announcement for a large new coaster??

Hmmm...

I've only heard of it having to be used once

I was in the PK station a couple of years ago waiting to board, and while watching the train launch I could tell it wasn't going fast enough to make it over the hill.  The train slowly rolled backwards and came to a rest with the last car or two sitting at a slight angle near the bottom of the spike.  Obviously, the safety system worked as planned, but the crowd of non-riders watching freaked out like I've *never* seen before.  I thought it was funny/cool, but was rather surprised to see some individuals nearly crying.  People are funny. 

I caught the Outlaw Run specific commercial the other day (here in St. Louis) and thought it was very clever.  Wish I could find a copy online!

Any idea why the front of the train is missing?

Can't wait to ride this!  Due to the short but punchy ride, it looks to be the Batman: The Ride of woodies 

I just saw the leaked layout, and while not the longest coaster by any means I think the length looks perfect.  We'll call this the "Batman-The Ride" of woodies   Seriously, I appreciate that there doesn't appear to be one inch of dead space.  If this were going to be a more traditional wooden coaster, I'd want it to be longer.  Since this is clearly not traditional by any means, I'm fine with the shorter but VERY sweet footprint! 

Very happy for SDC, and if this ride is as smooth as Texas Giant, it's going to be a huge hit with everyone!

Due to a rumor I heard earlier from a reliable source, I remain hopeful that the restraints will be "overhead," not OTSR.  Fingers crossed we'll end up with something like the newer Eurofighters.

I too think it appears to be a station fly-through...

I'm also very intrigued by the large beams lying accross the lift.  Could the entire lift hill be a tunnel?  That could be really cool!

Yeah, I was thinking that a "cutback" would be a good description too.  From these photo angles, this looks to be the most inverted overbank on any ride that I've seen

Hello all.  Long time lurker, first time poster.

Just saw these recent pics on the ACE Heart of America Facebook page:

Very serious overbank, but not a zero g roll.

This ride just gets more and more interesting!
