I was looking at the 2012 Golden Ticket Awards for Top 10 Wooden Coasters and was wondering where Outlaw Run will end up once it's open.  Sure seems like it should be pretty close to the top.  I'm always impressed that the Phoenix is perennially at the top of the list.  Has anyone (besides me) been to Knoebels in Elysburg PA?  I rode the Phoenix while I was there and it really is a good wooden coaster.  I'm amazed that a rather small park in the middle of no where, that doesn't have high dollar thrill rides (but rather reclaimed defunct rides from other parks) is home to one of the highest rated wooden coasters.  The other interesting aspect is that the Phoenix was built in '85 and has none of the extreme elements (barrel roll, outside banked turns, etc.) that outlaw run will have.  Just wondering if anyone else has ridden this or been to the park and I would love to hear your thoughts about how it will stack up to Outlaw Run.
