well in ten hours and nine-ish minutes (at the time of writing this), we'll know a whole lot more about 'Outlaw' , and I can't wait until then, you can't keep an enormus wooden coaster rising in the woods with a rail line that goes under it hidden forever (even though they've done a pretty bad job at doing so)

You beat me to it Zach. I'd almost write another post just on that layout, but the official announcement is coming on August 9th. So we'll know all of the details soon enough. I can't even imagine a double barrel roll on a woodie-ish coaster. Insane!!!!

That may not be a inversion, but it might have a double barrel roll. http://www.screamscape.com/html/sdc_-_woodcoaster…

It’s inverted enough that I consider it an inversion, it also screams to me “come to Missouri in 2013!!” This ride has already made my jaw drop and it’s not even half way done.

It's an inversion even if it's not quite 100 percent upside down.

I've been on Enterprise rides that only lifted up about 80 degrees so the cars were as tilted as this coaster track.

It looks spectacular.

to a person who isn't knowledgable about roller coasters, they might call it one. plus it's like less then fifteen degrees off of 180, or an inversion.

That essay's great: some of the other things mentioned there that are promoted as inversions are obviously not inversions!

(And they're not the only ones: the "Immelmann" counted as the second inversion in a Euro-Fighter 320+ (Rage, Falcon, Untamed) seems to me like it might really just be a fairly aggressive overbank. The new Iron Shark in Galveston gets promoted as having four inversions, but I notice RDCB lists it as having one. And then there's the "third loop" on the SFOG Mind Bender.)

It's not an inversion, it's just insanely overbanked… or is it? One thing's for sure: this is very cool stuff!
