Raging Bull-how is it?

Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.
Postby revolutiongurl on June 13th, 2006, 10:18 pm
Hi, I'm sort of new fanatic of SFGAm, and I've only been there 3 times. Each time I have not been able to gather enough bravery to try Bull.

My first question is, what are the lap restraints like? I know there is a
handlebar that comes up to your lap, but is there a seatbelt or anything?

My next question is, is airtime on wooden roller coaster different then on ones on steel coasters? I didn't like airtime at all on Viper or AE.

And most of all, how does the intensity compare to other major coasters at SFGAm?

I hope this isn't too retarded of a topic, but my next trip is coming up soon and my sister is forcing me to ride it.
Eh.......I got nothing.

you should definetely ride it, it's most people's favorite, even people who have never ridden it or any other coaster, and the air time is more fun than wooden coasters.

Ragijng Bull is not as intense as Batman, but it hass less airtime then American Eagle or Viper. The restraints are so comfortable you could take a nap with them on. No Seatbelt!
Iron Wolf is underrated. Dumb Offseason!

Its fun! Ride it. Don't be scared.

If you have big hips though you might not fit, my friend is skinny but she has big hips and she didn't fit it.

Here is a picture of the Restraints.

And Raging Bull is an amazing ride. It's definatly my favorite at the park. You should ride it in the back row. Theres so much airtime on that first drop especially if your in the back row. Have fun. I know you will and then after you ride it, your gonna be mad that you didn't sooner. That happened to me.

Yeah, I agree with you on that. I think Viper is now my third favorite ride at the park. When I was at SFGAm on the 7th, I rode it twice and I loved it. But I always want to stick my hands up for the airtime but I always stick them back down because of the headchopper effect. I always think my hands are gonna get knocked off. lol.

I go on it all the time, it's the bomb. once you get used to it go front row. Front Row is the best.
SF trips 09 = 15
SF trips 10= 11
SF trips 11 =7

Backrow you get more air on the first drop though :wink:

Front row is good for scenery but I actually prefer backrow. Defnitley go on it. I can't wait to ride it again on Saturday :D

That happens to me all the time. I want to put my hands and up and get some air but always end up putting them down because all those stupid bars look like there gonna chop my hands off.

Another one that does this to me is Superman. My feet look like there about to be chopped off.

Just curious, where at on superman does it feel "like your feet are gonna be chopped off" Because last time I checked your feet are on about the same plane as the rest of your body during the entire ride
