"Outlaw Run is a wooden roller coaster located at Silver Dollar City in Branson, Missouri. Designed by Alan Schilke, Outlaw Run is the first wooden roller coaster manufactured by Rocky Mountain Construction (RMC) and became the first wooden coaster with multiple inversions.

"It features a 162-foot (49 m) drop, three inversions, and a maximum speed of 68 mph (109 km/h), making Outlaw Run the sixth-fastest wooden coaster in the world. Its 81-degree first drop is also the fourth steepest in the world among wooden roller coasters.

"Outlaw Run debuted with the steepest drop, 81°, on any wooden roller coaster in the world at the time. It is also the fifth fastest wooden roller coaster in the world, with a top speed of 68 miles per hour (109 km/h). Outlaw Run retains the record for the wooden roller coaster with the most inversions." (Wikipedia)

"On August 9, 2012, Silver Dollar City officially announced that Outlaw Run would open in the second quarter of 2013. At its opening, the ride would be the only wooden roller coaster to feature inversions and would feature the steepest drop on a wooden roller coaster," the Wikipedia says.

"At a cost of $10 million, the ride would be the most expensive Silver Dollar City attraction in more than a decade.

"Outlaw Run was Rocky Mountain Construction's first wooden roller coaster. It is the sixth fastest wooden roller coaster in the world, reaching speeds of up to 68 miles per hour (109 km/h). Throughout the course of the 2,937-foot-long (895 m) ride, riders go through three inversions, including a double heartline roll. The park's existing terrain (the park is located in the Ozark Mountains) is used to allow a 107-foot-tall (33 m) lift hill to be translated into a first drop stretching 162 feet (49 m)."

"But be on the lookout - rumors are there is a rogue outlaw and his unscrupulous gang waiting to ambush your stagecoach along the way! The $10 million ride sends passengers soaring through the Ozark Mountains on a ground-breaking wood coaster that features several firsts," the official website says.

"Outlaw Run® features the world’s first and only double barrel roll on a wood coaster, with a 720-degree (double) barrel roll. In addition:

"Branson, Missouri's Silver Dollar City, located in the Ozark Mountains, was voted 2023's best theme park in the country by loyal fans. Perhaps the intrigue rests in the authentic 1880s mountain village theme. Attributed to the hard work of multiple generations of craftsmen who toiled away for the park's woody vibe, travelers are treated to modern and vintage-inspired farmhouse decor," The US Sun reports.

"Local artisans can be found at the helm of Silver Dollar City's shops, which boast hand-carved furniture, homemade glass-blown decor, and even handspun candy. And of course, visitors can ooh-and-ahh over live demonstrations. Silver Dollar City's location on top of Marvel Cave, one of the oldest attractions in the area, only adds to its antique vibe.

"Visitors can even venture 300 feet down into the dimly lit limestone cave for a peek at the Cathedral room, one of the biggest cave rooms in the country. Thrill-seekers will have no complaints about the park's attractions, which include Outlaw Run, one of the fastest wooden coasters in the world."
