WOW! Thanks to everyone who's gotten pics, this ride is looking fantastic. I can't wait!!!

Interesting... I guess we'll see.

I have to say I really enjoy the thematic work that we're seeing already. As others have noted, the station looks like it will be themed around a stagecoach depot, and the ride story line looks like it will be based around a stagecoach getting hijacked/robbed and sherriff's going after it. I'm looking forward to seeing more details emerge here. One of my favorite aspects about SDC is still the fact that all the major rides have their own back-stories and immserive thematics so they are part of the city rather than just being random rides plunked down.

Okay so I was thinking (which is dangerous I know  ) but there were concept drawings sometime back with the idea of horses in them. I believe you could sit on the horses and the track was way different, but what if that idea was somehow incorporated into this idea.......

I remember that concept art, but I wouldn't count on it. That was concept art for a steel track. Not that it couldn't be done...

[MissinTheGreenTrams]

I didnt think the track/horse combo could be used.......and I dont know what made me think of that old concept art either.....

[shavethewhales]

Lol, that concept art was for a Zamperla motocoaster concept similar to this: http://rcdb.com/4089.htm?p=21895

Put that on a wooden coaster and all the guys who ride it will probably go infertile.

That may have been a zamperla but other companies make similar rides, I've even seen a jet ski version online/ Here's an Intamin

[Colby Cox]

I think Vekoma might make them too.

Isn't the topper supposed to make it smooth?

Rather than jostling the jewels, I'd worry more about riding a horse inverted.

This will be a "conventional" sit down format coaster.
Sorry

Yeah, but if they ever wanted a ride like that, they could do a train with horses and in a back a stagecoach themed car for those that dislike the horse format.

[MissinTheGreenTrams]

No I was thinking more along the lines of a sit down as well but in the front they had maybe two horses that look like they are fleeing a murder scene (cannot ride these) and the side looks like its themed to be a stage coach. Kinda like thunderation has a smoke stack at the front. Sides look like a minecar/train

I rode the New Texas Giant for the first time this weekend, and I cannot tell you how amazing it is. I rode in the back car - hands up over the lift, but before the train hit the bottom of the drop, I was holding on. The ride is really awesome!

And to think SDC's coaster is going to have a bigger and steeper drop, it's going to be breathtaking.

Yes, it is a great ride.  I really like the "disco tunnel" and would love one on Outlaw Run.  What would be awesome is a roll in a tunnel. LOL

A completely dark tunnel, maybe with some strobes. Now we're talking!
