Even if the ride is still on the table, construction can't even
begin until the shutdown on non-essential construction ends
which is looking like at least May 15th or later at this point.
So even if this ride is still on the table, I wouldn't expect to
see it built and operational until July at the earliest. It
might only take a few days to erect the ride structure itself,
but between pouring the concrete foundation, the electrical
work, programming, testing, certification, etc., you're looking
at a long process.
I don't really feel like speculating on whether or not the ride
will get built this year, but I do know that the reality of the
situation is these parks have no idea when they'll actually be
able to open up, and they also have no clue how many people are
going to show up.

The Ride is already purchased so unless it was not built yet by
the manufacturer it will be shipped this year. So there is no
good reason to not install it this year. Not Installation may
mean they can't operate steamon demon and condor.
I can't fell bad for anyone aggravated at the idea of a late
ride opening sine my home park is notorious for buying an
addition late and taking their sweet time installing it to the
point where it operates 1-20 days of a season.

*West Coast Racers says hi.*
I know Outlaw has been built by Funtime because Great Escape
posted a picture of AO & Catwoman’s Whip at SFSTL being
manufactured. The only thing is, if they do construction for it
during the season it’s going to be near impossible to operated
Steamin’ Demon (which in my opinion should get a retheme and new
paint job along with Outlaw).

Repainting it and adding some theming to the station would be a
good excuse to not have it operating which they do outlaws
construction. If people see work being done they are less likely
to be upset over its closure.

Not to mention it needs it anyway. The “Steamin’ Demon” name
doesn’t fit in with Ghost Town to begin with.

It does and it doesn't. It is a ghost town as in abandoned but
we don't know why. if people thought that the land next to the
town was possessed by a demon it would be a reason to move on.
but that's just the backstory I figured when I first researched
the park.

That’s a decent theme but I feel like if you’ve gotta think
about it hard, it’s not good enough of a theme. They could just
call it “Twisted Tumbleweed” or “Gunslinger” or something.

Why would they re-theme an aging almost 50 year old arrow
looper? Makes no sense to invest any money into it, it will be
in a scrap yard probably within the next decade. I live right
down the street from the park, nothing going on right now. I've
been hoping to see some destruction of the buildings to make way
for outlaw but nothing going on.
If Great Escape wants more foot traffic in ghost town, they
should finally do something with Nightmare. The theming on the
outside is so awesome and it would work so well as a reboot.
Even a stupid Wild mouse/spinning coaster would fit in that
building.

I agree there is no good reason to rename Steam on Deamon plus
it's the name the original owner game it.
But as for themeig they are building a new entrance and exit
even a wood walkway over that metal and concrete they have now
would feel more on theme. A new paint job now would last then
till they take it out.

I think a little Triotech simulator ride would be perfect in the
Nightmare building.

I’ve seen versions of this with 16 seats, which would be
sufficient.
