- Adirondack Outlaw is the new-for-2021 attraction at Six Flags Great Escape. This thrill ride immediately became the park's best flat ride.

I think it’s a good addition to the park. Hopefully next year after it been broken in they change the loading process…. I like how six flags went through the effort in getting this ride in. First changing it’s original location and not canceling or postponing it to 2022 because of the pandemic especially with the park being closed in 2020. Nothing has been announced for 2022 so I’m assuming they will skip a year. But I could also see them getting a supergirl style ride 2023 or a water park ride….
I hope they can speed it up in the future too, but I'm not sure what they can do outside of shortening the cycle.
@@CanobieCoaster Even then, shortening the cycle by one rotation per half might add two or three cycles an hour, shrinking the line a good bit.
Best flat ride there tbh
Something interesting is when it was first announced it was meant to be near the comet at the back of the park,however the great escape has a height limit of how tall attractions can be so that’s why it’s near the front
I’m pretty sure at least
I thought it was always going to be in Ghost Town, just in a different spot.
i expected this ride to be terrifying, it was actually quite relaxing
It's not as forceful as some boosters.
If I was at a funeral and saw the notification on my phone, I would watch this full blast. You finally made a great escape video! Me and the other dozen people with this as our homepark are so happy.
It's the first of a few Great Escape videos.
This style of ride is still my favorite flat-ride type that I've ridden, with Energlandia's Space Booster remaining my favorite example (although sadly I have to report that even on my trip this month, it only ran in one direction, but the cycle did feel very long).
I was surprised Space Booster only went one way as well.
Great video thanks!
You're welcome.
Interesting that you noted that they balance on this ride. When I was at Great Escape on Halloween weekend, I definitely saw a couple loads with smaller children on one side, and the adults on the other side. It was quite the sight, haha.
Did that one flip way more?
@@CanobieCoaster It didn't flip a lot more, but the flips were more "whippy". It also looked hilarious while idling.
I agree with your analysis of the ride itself, but depending on the cost vs other available attractions, I think it would do great at other Six Flags parks if it was doubbled (ie build 2 right next to each other). I actually found Adirondack Outlaw more intense than the Zamperla version of the Skyscraper, although it's possible that since I'm comparing it to one included with admission (Coney Island) they run a less intense cycle than other Zamperla skyscrapers there.
Building 2 could work like with drop towers.
I was literally looking for a review of this yesterday! Thanks! You helped me out!
You're welcome!
The colors look absolutely beautiful
Agreed.
I think this ride is a good fit for Great Escape since it has high enough capacity to not be an upcharge, but I agree that the capacity would be too low for the largest Six Flags parks.
It will be interesting if Six Flags adds more.
Six Flags America can be an option for this ride. It can be located in Gotham City, being themed to Bane.
That would be a nice addition.
I wonder if a larger SF park would put in two arms right next to each other operating as a essentially a single attraction, but probably not. It would do a lot towards the capacity problem but obviously substantially increase the cost in the process.
That could be a solution, but I'm not sure Six Flags would do that and staff it.
@@CanobieCoaster I tend to agree. It would make too much sense /s. But yeah I don't think they'd shell out the cost for operation.
My guess is that the lower intensity might also be due to the incidents that have occurred with versions of this ride from other manufacturers
Not sure if that is why.
While I didn’t have to wait long when I visited, I could defiantly see how the line could pile up. I don’t think anything will compare though to my horrible wait for Nightmare at Crack Axle Canyon. From what I can remember that line moved insanely slow
That ride was the king of bad capacity.
Hey, Canobie Coaster! This ride needs to be added to other Six Flags parks!
It's a great ride, but the capacity is atrocious.
The Great Escape needed a new high thrill attraction for such a long time, ADK Outlaw was a much needed addition. Were they only boarding one party per row on your visit? On my visit, they were filling all seats; I think I waited about 20 minutes for a half full queue.
I visited in late July. They were only loading one party per side all 3 days I was there.
It was into the switchbacks when I hopped in line.
As of last weekend, all the rides were being loaded at full capacity. I'm surprised they kept it 1 party per side for so long, though maybe it was for mechanical reasons and not covid.
When I went on it they had it running at full capacity. Great addition to the park
It's fun I'm glad I got to ride it last year because the Great Escape is no longer my home park
Nice!
Love this ride and rode it a total of 215 times this season hands up all the way!
Wow that's impressive.
Bring this ride Model To Great Adventure this model looks cool.
The capacity would be a major problem.
Hersheypark needs an adult flat ride that goes upside down I think this would be cool their
Too low capacity for Hershey.
FYI on the capacity side: KMG has a 200 foot version that can hold 32 riders, so that might help a tad. Granted, the KMG version probably costs a lot more too...
True
Rode catwoman at sfsl (my home park since birth) lines are long but the superman had longer lines.
Interesting
Dare devil dive at sfog makes you remove glasses as well
They let me keep mine on with a strap.
with all the mid-sized clones going to SF parks, this looks quite fun, big enough it could live in a park with a discovery/pendulum ride and still be high thrill but different enough. ya i assume capacity will be awful
It's great minus the capacity.
This park needs a new coaster bad. Even a clone. Not a joker freespin either. A real coaster. Take out the demon and build one right up front
I wish they got a new custom coaster as well.
They definitely need a new custom coaster…take out the one from the front or get rid of the bob sled coaster with something new
Wish I got to ride it when it was finished
It's their best flat.
I wouldn’t be surprised if it became an up charge
I don't think it would become one at this park.
Looks like something out of a carnival but on an actual amusement park level. I enjoy flat rides if they are intense, I think it would be the second best flat at the park behind he drop tower. If Six Flags cloned it, I wouldn't complain but I don't think it will be the best flat ride at every six flags park.
My concern with this being cloned is the capacity.
Hey, Canobie Coaster! Catwoman Whip at Six Flags St. Louis is now replacing the demolished Superman: Tower Of Power!
That should give amazing views.
This would be good at Six Flags America
The capacity is bad, but it would be a fun ride.
The reason why I like the cycle broken up is because of the view you have from the top
Makes sense.
This ride model scares me tbh. I would ride it if someone wanted to ride it with me though I think
It's a lot of fun.
One of the only truly great things about Six Flags over the past few years is how they have been adding excellent flats to their parks. The giant Frisbees are easily in the top 10 attractions among any of the parks they have been added to, and these Vomatrons look awesome. However their capacity is definitely too low for any Six Flags parks outside of Great Escape, its arguably too low for Six Flags St Louis honestly. As far as I'm aware, S&S Screamin' Swings are actually quite pricey attractions but if I am wrong about this and their cost is comparable to the Frisbees, that should be their next cloned attraction to send everywhere. Good flat rides are criminally underrated by coaster enthusiasts, the fact that a ton of enthusiasts go to parks and actively skip the flats is depressing to me, they are such unique attractions and serve to offer people a different experience than a typical coaster. I really hope to see more thrilling flat ride concepts developed, rides like the extinct Sky Swat looked legendary.
I agree Six Flags has been nailing it with flat rides. This one would probably work at Frontier City too.
First Id say we wait and see how Catwomen's Whip does at Six Flags St. Louis and then I'd say clone it but only at parks that are in desperate need of a new thrill like Frontier City, La Ronde, Six Flags Darien Lake and Six Flags America.
One comment that a few people have had was to add two like we saw with S&S drop towers. That would help.
Who has the wildest model: Fabbri, Gravityworks, or Zamperla?
Gravityworks
I'm honestly surprised they can make a ride no glasses. What if there's an emergency evacuation required and you're literally blind as a bat? This looks like the only type of this model I'd enjoy. I'm never a fan of unpredictable, violent swinging/spinning and this looks perfect. I'd think any major Six Flags park would need a double or even triple of these sitting next to each other. It really needs 16 PER side otherwise. At least. And a more efficient deck that lowers/raises faster. If it's slow as you say.
Having dual systems next to each other like the S&S drop towers may be a solution.
Whenever you get back to China will you experience Soaring With Dragon
I've never been to China but I hope to one day.
The only other park besides St. Louis and Great Escape that could use this is Frontier City
It would work there too.
I am a lucky guy I need glasses but if I don't wear them on a ride I can still see pretty fine but it sucks to have a ride experience inhibited because you can't take in all its views
That hurt my first time on Falcon's Fury too. Thankfully I could wear them in a return trip.
I wonder what Six Flags parks would get one
This would probably work well at Frontier City.
The kmg ones are better even though they are shorter and slower the intensity is insane and is out of control but I think these are better than the fabbri ones
The KMG ones are awesome.
They should've got a KMG Speed 32 ;)
That would have higher capacity.
I wanna hear about Taron and it's pacing issues pleasse :)(
There should be a Taron review later this week.
Chaos pendulum from fun time is way better then any propeller/booster
I need to try one.
I think they should have gotten KMG's Speed 32 for twice as many passengers.
That would've helped.
@@CanobieCoaster I rode one last year. It's high, fast and forceful but the smaller ones feel more random and fun.
Is it possible for even bigger arms. Like maybe 10 or 12 per arm
That would help a bit, but the load time is still an issue.
I don't think funtime do a higher capacity one. I know mondial do a 10 per arm one and KMG even do a huge 16 per arm
Catwoman might be really awful at SFStL with these capacity issues. I'm pretty sure the park gets more visitors than Great Escape.
I think it does as well. I'm nervous what will happen there.
@@CanobieCoaster Is there a 20 passenger version? It certainly looks like 5-wide would be possible on those arms. Might be worth the money to swap if it does exist.
I'd say Six Flags would never do it but SFOT is upgrading Aquaman to two train ops before opening.
I think the easier way would be to have two arms like how parks have 2-3 S&S drop towers.
Is it better than comet?
No
Seriously no glasses why is there a reason
Probably so no one loses them. It stunk they were banned even with a strap.
Great escape, and comet review..
Ehh?
This week!
@@CanobieCoaster have you got great things to say about comet?
Nope
It's a good ride, but the capacity is just too low to clone it to must Six Flags parks.
