It is interesting that "Outlaw Run" is not listed as a ride that will be "open" for OTC. Though the "Rides and Attractions" page says Outlaw Run will be open through December 30.  It is probably just a misprint.  I'm sure they re-use text from year to year and just change the dates.  But the omission of Outlaw Run from this list is certainly a glaring one.

Whaddya think?

LOL..  nice catch!!.  I am sure it is a misprint.. as you said, copied from last year text...

[Ozark Outlaw]

It better be a misprint! I am going to Silver Dollar City in November, and I have yet to ride Outlaw Run!

I imagine it was (as mentioned) a copy&paste from last year. Although cold weather does seem to be ORs enemy, so maybe they didnt want to get our hopes up.

Ozark, I sure do hope it is open for you to ride. I waited till August before I could ride, now I rode it 3 times. It is an experience.

Interesting that you would say that "cold weather does seem to be ORs enemy" -- unless something has changed, it and TNT have the lowest required temps to operate!?!?

[Ozarks Gal]

TNT operates all the way down until 32 (or only 38 if there is precip), whereas Outlaw Run can run down to 34 but must have made it to 37 before it will open. That would make cold more friendly to TNT (unless there's precip).

Not sure I want to ride either if it is < 40 degrees

[Ozark Outlaw]

Sure you do okie!

That way you can come back with ice crystals frozen to your nose, ears, and hair.

DH and I rode it back in early April when it was 37°.  Twenty (20) times, in fact! (Although, it did warm up over the course of the day, a bit). It is brisk! We had to wear our jackets on the ride even though we had taken them off for a bit while out in the sun.

[sanddunerider]

in march or april we were there, it was 36 and OR was not running..  until the compute control "reads" 37 degrees, it wont run. no bypass..  No ride.!

Nothing like a boat ride down the Arkansas at 5 am in Jan to get you awake.

There are certain places where ice crystals ain't got no place formin'
