SDC's 2013 Project

[Swoosh]

There might be some sort of kiddie play area like what is near Thunderhead at Dollywood, but I wouldn't count on it.  You have High Low Silo next door as well as the Milking Cow and Frog Float.

I was just reading on the Tri-Lakes News Website that it could open a early as December.

That would be cool but I dont think it will be open to the public then....I would think they would need to do testing first right??

Headline and cover of the Northwest Arkansas edition of the Arkansas Democrat Gazette entertainment section for today: http://www.flickr.com/photos/juniordugan  Yes, they are talkin' up the new SDC coaster!

[crash]

I just had a thought. I wonder how many people will try and buy the trailblazers pass???  Especially with the waits that are likely to come to the new ride.

If the line were crazy long I might buy a $5 1 ride pass but that would be it.  If I am not mistaken you get to ride each of 5 or 6 rides 1 time each. So you cant buy a pass and use it 6 times for 1 ride.........know what I mean?

Nope, The Standard Trailblazers Pass allows you 8 rides with no waits for $25 or Unlimited for $50. The passes can only be used a certain rides like Powder Keg, Train, WildFire, ETC! You can use the pass at any combination of all rides on to only 1 ride over and over again. If you use the pass at the same ride over and over again you have to wait 10 minutes between rides if using it again at the same ride.

Unless they change the rule on reuse at a ride next year you can get plenty of rides on Outlaw Run with it assuming they allow you to use the pass on the new ride.

I am betting they come up with a modification to that rule about riding the same ride over and over.
Sounds to me like 2 of us could purchase a pass and then each of us use it to ride the new coaster separately.
Personally I buy the seasons pass and I don't feel as compelled to stand in line each time I am at the city. If the lines are long I wait for the next trip and don't feel bad about it. Its a definite advantage.

There will be a number of new trees planted in the area that is now just gravel. Check out this photo that Swoosh posted on MIG: http://midwestinfoguide.com/new/outlawrun/6.jpg

All the larger photos there are 403. Swoosh, can you fix the permissions?

[Swoosh]

Nope, it prevents hotlinking.

[mhguy77]

Swoosh what are your thoughts or suspicions about what they are building at the new coaster?

[joshblakebran]

Hopefully the ride will have a high height requirement. The inversions will keep old people away and with a high height requirement it will keep the kiddies away, meaning short lines for me 

Anyways why is it the SDC has not hyped this up to its full potential? I mean why couldnt they post a full animated POV of the ride and then put it in the gift shops like six flags does with their new rides. Its almost like who ever runs the marketing is kicking it old school, which isn't cool.

Pretty selfish mentality....they are paying customers too...of course I understand the excitement of riding this awesome coaster....

If you will just go on a weekday early in the season you will have a short line.  The weekends are when the lines really get crazy.

[mhguy77]

I wonder how the line at Powderkeg will change with this new addition.

[Swoosh]

I don't think there will be much change, if anything it will be longer as I expect the coaster to bring in a lot of new guests next year.
