Six Flags America | Ragin Cajun | Zamperla Spinning Mouse

Re: Six Flags America | Ragin Cajun | Zamperla Spinning Mous

I don't see why they moved Ragin Cajun from Great America. I wonder what they will be putting in its place.

They moved it for two reasons:
1. It benefited Six Flags America more. The park had less coasters and it was a better fit over there. The park didn't really have a 'family' coaster that literally everyone would ride. Now they'll have one.
2. Great America already had a wild mouse. The Dark Knight Coaster. Yes, I realize that Ragin Cajun spun. But aside from that factor, the park just had two different variants of a wild mouse in one park. One indoor and one that spun.

Ragin Cajun was pretty popular at SFGAM though. I would say 9/10 visits it had a longer line than Viper.

The ride itself wasn't all that popular, but the capacity and operation were pants.

RC's capacity issues arise from the fact that it's a bastardized mix of Reverchon and Zamperla ride tech, and then 6F took over as everything was pretty mixed up, and did the programming in-house using a non-standard PLC.

Hopefully that issue can be remedied a little since it's being rebuilt but SFA is a satellite park and nothing was changed for Green Lantern when it was shipped over to Great Adventure.

And the ride is now open. Here's its "station"...
