Also new for 2020 is the new Smokehouse restaurant which smelled wonderful but my taste buds were lead elsewhere in the park.

Outlaw Run rollercoaster at Silver Dollar City, Branson, Missouri

It'd be wrong to visit Silver Dollar City without spending a bit of time on what is my favorite wooden coaster on the planet.

Why do I love Outlaw Run so much? Let me count the ways...

The Outlaw Run rolercoaster at Silver Dollar City, Branson, Missouri

...first there is the little dip right before the hundred and sixty-two foot plunge that gives the ride enough speed so if you are sitting in the back seat the ride whips you up into your tightly locked restraints for some wicked ejector seat airtime. The drop is just pure bliss. The overbanked inversion that whips you around like a rag doll is so much fun. Then you have several low hills taken at extreme speed that produce further extreme airtime. You can't forget how the whole ride could only exist here on this parks hilly terrain. There is so much insane unbridled aggression as Outlaw Run rips through 2,937 feet of track where the coaster gets as close to the edge with what it can do to the twenty-four humans that are strapped in.

Finally the ride as it heads uphill through the double heart line roll as you hang there upside down you wonder if the ride has enough speed to make it into the brake run. It just barely does. If a coaster slams into the brakes at the end of the ride in my opinion it could use some more track. Not Outlaw Run. The ride is perfection.
