Outlaw is a wooden roller coaster located at Adventureland in Altoona, Iowa, USA. It was built by Custom Coasters International and opened for the park's 20th anniversary on April 24, 1993. The yellow pine constructed coaster features a total of 9 drops and 12 turns. The close knit Twister style coaster is heralded as the prototype for what would become designer Mike Boodley's signature style in the forthcoming Great Coasters International (GCI).[1][2]
