Stay off the even seats, and you will fine on Outlaw Run  :D . I do prefer the Texas Giant trains, but that will never happen on Outlaw Run, not after the summer of 2013. Besides, as it is, many of us regulars hold Outlaw as the best, unhinged night ride in the park, if not the state.

the trains are fine. I would prefer a retrack over Ibox. If they Ibox, I would want them to make it taller and longer. RMC their RMC so to speak.

Wildfire

Outlaw Run is perfect in the odd numbered rows.  Please never convert it!

In case there was anybody out there with doubts that this is a Mack product (hopefully nobody here) ... They shared the livestream link to their sgories on Instagram/Facebook

That is funny. I look at it like this. The park would ask itself the same question we asked ourselves playing Bullfrog's Themepark or RCT: "What do I need to build,to draw guest in to sell more merch and drinks, that I don't already have, and our regional neighbors don't have?" A wing coaster would seem to fit that bill.

To me it comes down to which flavor of wing coaster it is, because they have built a launched variant of the Big Dipper before. Seems like though to get good capacity out of a Big Dipper it would need to be blocked like a wild mouse, or FITH, or a Gerstlauer spinner. It would really need to be able to load and dispatch two trains at once. (This is where Buzzsaw Falls and the original FITH really dropped the ball, they could both load two trains at once but they had no downstream "ready" block for the second train after dispatch) I think a 4 row Stryker would move more people with fewer complications. I could be way wrong though. Fun to think about.
