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.
