The verdict

Honours end even at 2–2 with 2 stats level, which is the awkward kind of matchup: whoever calls the stat decides the round.

Outlaw Run is a wooden Topper Track (ground-up) coaster at Silver Dollar City, US, built by Rocky Mountain Construction. Wicked Cyclone is a hybrid IBox Track (Cyclone conversion) coaster at Six Flags New England, US, built by Rocky Mountain Construction.

Both are in US, which puts them in the same conversation for anyone planning a trip there.

They come from the same drawing office: Rocky Mountain Construction. That makes the gaps below a question of brief and budget rather than engineering house style.

They are near-contemporaries — 2013 and 2015 — so they were competing for the same riders when they opened.
