Sawmill Splash is a new addition to the back of Adventureland.  It sits right next to the Outlaw where Adventureland's old Scrambler used to sit.  As hot as it was I wanted to go for a ride on this as these are fun but I could not get myself to wait in it's long line when there was a coaster next door with almost no wait.

At least The Outlaw's height requirement sign is a bit more specific than the other ones.

You've got to love the old school lap bars on The Outlaw. I believe this is one of the last coasters made with them before designers switched to individual lap bars.

The Outlaw was made by Custom Coasters International but looks more like a Great Coasters International ride as Mike Booley who designed all of GCI's early coasters worked for CCI and did a bunch of the design work on Outlaw including his trademark humps before the lift hill.
