Rocky Mountain Coasters (the ones responsible for the massive Texas Giant conversion) is building their first coaster out of scratch next year (at Silver Dollar City). This will be the first wooden coaster to have a rolling inversion (double barrel roll):
The layout and the quote above is from Screamscape. This looks great (a bit short, but the drop looks nice)!

2013 - The Outlaw - Under Construction - (8/1/12) An interesting e-mail came to me a bit ago containing a fascinating image which claims to be the layout artwork for The Outlaw coming to Silver Dollar City in 2013. The factoids on it claim the coaster will have an 81 degree first drop, the crazy near-inversion thing we’ve seen is called an Outside Banked Turn, but at the very end of the layout comes the icing on the cake… a true double barrel roll.
