Outlaw Run: Best in Missouri?

TwinsVikingsWild · August 20, 2013, 09:44:27 PM

I thought Outlaw Run looked really cool (too chicken to go on it though $:-\$ ).
But that brought me to the question: Does it beat out all other roller coasters in Missouri? A couple other good contenders are Patriot at Worlds of Fun, and PowderKeg, Wildfire, and probably not, but a good contender, Thunduration.
But, do you think that Outlaw Run could beat out all of these for not only the best, but the most popular roller coaster in Missouri?

i like outlaw run and it is a great groundbreaking coaster, but a little to short for me. My favorite in Missouri is The Boss at SFSL, a traditional woodie that gives a great thrill.

Sorry, typo on Thunderation.

I would think Outlaw Run would have trouble beating out MAMBA and (random SFStL coaster here).

I think MAMBA at WOF is great. I also like Prowler at WOF quite a lot.
I do really like OR at SDC. WF is also a great coaster (Practically anything built by B&M is great)

However I think my personal FAV coaster in MO is American Thunder (AKA Evil Knevil) at SFSL.

My Missouri list is Outlaw Run, Mamba, Prowler, Wildfire, Patriot, Batman, Powderkeg, American Thunder, Mr. Freeze, Boss, Screaming Eagle, Thunderation, Timberwolf. The 2 boomerang and 2 spinning coasters don't even rate on my list. I'm sure Chittlins would place them at the top of his list due to his strange love for spinning coasters and Vekoma

Outlaw Run is probably my #2 coaster in the U.S. just behind the almighty Millinium Force

Outlaw Run is great for what it is. I'd just as soon ride a solid GCI. OR needed about 15to 20 more seconds of a couple of traditional airtime pops.

If I read this correctly, you are saying that Any coaster at SFStL is superior to OR?

No. Just that SFStL has a lot more vocal fanboys who would argue that *something* at SFStL has to be better than (insert name of ride at another park anywhere). Case in point that SFStL's thread on TPR is always on the front page near the top. No one really cares about that park except its ravenous fanboys

Spinners done right are great and the kids love them, I'm in it for the enjoyment of my kids. I care less who builds them. Funny considering that supposedly HFC was cool on Gerstlauer that it's a Gerstlauer that's going in at Dollywood. I got dogged for liking some of their coaster designs. I think their wild mouse hybrids look awesome but I've yet to get to Europe for test rides. Haven't been to Europe since I was 19 and there was a direct from Northwest from Memphis to Amsterdam.

So what were you doin' in Amsterdam?!?!?!?!??!?!

Junior · August 22, 2013, 08:51:20 PM

Well you see, Amsterdam has these "coffee shops..."

No, No there's plenty of that along the ditch banks back home in eastern Arkansas. KLM had a non stop from Memphis to Amsterdam for years. It was centrally located. Only could afford it twice. I want to hit octoberfest in Germany and do the major parks there once. It helped to know someone in service over there. I would love to have month solid over there and go slow.

Only other place is Argentina for a dove/duck hunt while its the middle of summer here.

As a coaster junkie, the rides at SFSL and WOF may have some more speed and thrills. But when combined with SDC and the feeling I get while there, the rides can't be beat. Theming and family atmosphere make the wait to ride so much more appealing. A last minute ride on TNT while heading toward the exit is a feeling I cannot describe. I guess call it nostalgia or sentimental feelings but it's a place that gives me peace that I can't reproduce at any old Amusement park.

okiebluegrass · August 25, 2013, 08:38:48 AM

I like the rides at SDC but as I was mentioning in another forum, the rides are not why I like SDC. For me the music, the crafts and the shows are way more important.
