[The YetiI'm a know-it-all about donkeys!]

^If they use that name, it might take me a while to stop thinking about Outlaw at Adventureland. But that hardly matters...it does seem to be a fitting name for SDC and their new ride.

I was thinking the same thing...but I have a feeling that, despite the insane airtime I got near the front seat on Adventureland's Outlaw, after riding SDC's The Outlaw I'll bet you will have no trouble forgetting. I love the name - now how about a layout....

[cal1br3ttoWhy do I still have a donkey title???]

That's a great way of putting it. (And I agree about the airtime on the existing Outlaw.)

[-Edge of Beast-My brain is often hibernating.]

Me likey! Something like Baldknobber or Renegade would be fun too, but nice choice for them.

[KC_EngineerI Love Donkeys!]

Outlaw sounds pretty B.A. I have a feeling this coaster will live up to its name.

[ShavethewhalesI wish they would make Street Fighter Donkey.]

I think it's an OK name. I wouldn't mind it at all if it weren't for the fact that another wooden coaster in the same state has this name already... I think they could have changed it up a little with that in mind.

Like I've said though, as long as it has immersive thematics I don't really care about any name they give it. I'm hoping the entire area interacts with the train route going through it and pays homage to the fact the very site the station sits on used to be the train robbery location for some 40 years.

[jzooleI know more about donkeys than women!]

Last time I checked, Iowa and Missouri are two different states!

[ShavethewhalesI wish they would make Street Fighter Donkey.]

Ah, for the longest time I thought Adventureland was in northern MO. Glad to see Iowa is good for something.

[ChittlinsDoes Jeff Johnson count this donkey as a credit?]

Midwest Info Guide has new photos showing the drop hill has been topped and the footers down in the ravine that's going to make for an impressive drop. Having seen the construction first hand , the photos do not show the depth of the ravine well.

[ShavethewhalesI wish they would make Street Fighter Donkey.]

It's worth noting that this thing will have a pre-drop as well, so the drop will be a rolling drop. All of SDC's coasters so far have had rolling drops.

In some of the photos taken from other points in the park it's surprising how tall this thing stands out. It might be higher than than any other coaster in the park, thanks in part to the topography it sits on.

The station is now vertical as well, and progressing very quickly. It seems like they're getting everything close to the train tracks done before the heavy summer season really hits. Doesn't look like there's been a whole lot more done down the valley other than clearing and footer work. We don't even know how far back this thing goes yet.

[Ace Of SpadesAm I allowed to eat donkey during lent?]

Baldknobber

I'm sure this is some sort of thematically accurate name, but it still made me laugh...quite a lot.

This ride is becoming more and more interesting with every update, much like RMC's last project. Can't wait to see how it turns out!
