Is it possible to outrun a Winged Queen Slime?
I know that the maximum horizontal speed is https://terraria.wiki.gg/wiki/Movement_speed#Horizontal_speed
But I don't have the gear to replicate it, nor do I want to spend a Gelatin Crystal trying, and at my current 41mph speed, it seems like it keeps accelerating when it takes off from landing.

In short: Not without Asphalt.
Winged Queen Slime caught up to me when my speed was 68mph, but I outran her when it was 74mph, so I suspect her speed is 70mph.
I equipped all the gear you could have pre-mech:
- Cobalt Helmet
- Gi (from the Traveling Merchant)
- Cobalt Leggings
- Cake (from the Party Girl, for the Sugar Rush buff)
- Quick Frostspark Boots
- Quick Lightning Boots
- Quick Magiluminescence
- Quick Aglet
- Quick Fairy Wings
- Quick Anklet of the Wind
- Quick Moon Charm
- Swiftness Potion (for the Swiftness buff)
- Sunflower (for the Happy! buff)
- Apple Pie (for the Exquisitely Stuffed buff)
and after all of that? My speed only reached 57mph. If I step on asphalt though, my speed jumps up to over 150mph!
Minecarts won't allow you to outrun her because they only have a maximum speed of 66mph pre-mech. But! Everytime she reaches you while you're in a minecart, she does her slam attack so while she's busy slamming the ground you can run away.
