[KC_EngineerI Love Donkeys!]

It already looks really good, and I like how RMC is ditching the traditional woodie handrails throughout the whole ride. It gives for a really unique look!

I like it on this coaster so far. New Texas Giant looks terribly awkward, though. I know it's a different animal altogether, but just sayin'.

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

I love that the water park has nighttime hours!

This ride will have handrails on the sections that have been built so far, they just haven't even finished putting in the stairs yet. We'll have to see about the rest of the ride, but my gut says they will probably have handrails on more of it than NTAG does doe to the nature of the track.

To not even make some sort of reference to a ride that is clearly being built, even if it's a "Coming In 2013" sign is a bad PR move. It's better to build hype than act like nothing is going on and people are hallucinating construction.

We just all need to remember to act surprised once they do make an official announcement...

[coast4airtimeDonkeys give me orgiastic scream!]

Is the whole ride supposed to be topper track? If so, wouldn't this be considered a steel coaster?

I actually had a dream about this "nothing to see here, no new roller coaster for 2013" coaster the other night...it was very good!

Maybe it's just me, but I'm enjoying that they're saying absolutely nothing about this project. Who knows; perhaps it's all part of some grand plan?

Looks like it will be very fun!! But the question is... Will it beat El Toro?

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

It won't run on steel rails. The track looks a lot like T Express if you ask me...RMC mentioned they wanted to use steel wheels for their wooden coasters, and lets hope we see those on 'The Outlaw.' It seems like the drop could be what they finish next, and I can't wait to see how steep it will be!

[dragonskeepA donkey is a domesticated member of the Equidae or horse family.]

^^No. But that would be great. It's time for a wooden coaster war!
