This video is a little old, but I was shocked when I saw this.

Outlaw is a great coaster, I wonder why no one noticed the train completely skipping the brakes?

Interesting...Mt. Olympus used to let all their coasters run their circuits twice back before they changed the park's name from Big Chief. They did use the brakes but if I remember correctly the trains never came to a complete stop in the station before that second time around. I'm not sure I believe the "disgruntled ride op" story in the description, but the video is pretty cool to see anyway.

Very cool story in the description and very cool footage. That ride looks suddenly pretty insane in the final turn and the pre-lift section! [pshades]
