It seems as if RC is nearly finished. I saw it test 2 times. It looks really fun! Does anyone now how long it may be until it opens? When I was on IW, I saw 3 of RC's cars outside the park. Also, are there any pics or videos from media day? I got on picture of RC testing, too bad I didn't have my cousin's digital camera that takes videos!

I got a question about RC. when does it start spinning? I know it doesn't spin for the entire ride, but when does it start? and how do they get it back facing forward at the end of the ride? does a ride op just spin it around to face forward and lock it down?
I don't have a detonator; its on a timer.
A countdown timer? No, a count-up timer. It goes from one to explode.
Ragin Cajun starts to spin on the second set of zig zigs.
Ragin Cajan wasn't spinning at all yesterday, 5-24-04. It was just going through it's track with water dummys. The station looked complete and the que is finished, i think. (I know that they were working on it didn't bother to check @ night to see if it was up) But, otherwise. Looking Good. Oh- what if anyone went to the park on 4-24-04, what was up with the helocopters?
Watch out theres a new Hurricane in Gurnee, IL!
No, I don't believe ANYONE was at the park on 4-24-04, the park didn't open til 5-1-04.

Man I'm crossing my fingers that KC and RC is opened by next week...
So close!! More KC than RC...just because I love top spins...
I havn't been there all week so I don't really have any kind of update for once but both have been cycling for a long time with tweaking here and there, it shouldn't be too much longer (for all I know they could be open now).
Did anyone go to the park today? If so, was RC open? Because on rcdb.com it says that RC is operating!!
too bad that the rollercoaster database is wrong.
rcdb probably based that off the media day.
I don't have a detonator; its on a timer.
A countdown timer? No, a count-up timer. It goes from one to explode.
Yea its says operating since 5-22-04
RCDB is getting that info from the News Papers who said it would open Last weekend. (Which is wrong.)

I was at the park today to try to get on RC. It was not yet open. They were working on putting up a new sign. I talked with some of the workers and they said it will be open tomorow. KC will not be open for at least anouther 2 weeks. If you want to see some photos go here
side note: The pool in front of the carousel was empty.
Yep, they had their lift and everything. They were working on the Stage in Mardi Gras too. Orleans Grill still looks compleatly empty.
King Chaos better be open when I go June 12!!!8)
WOW! I just looked at the pictures and the Station for RC looks great! Def. better than V2,Deja, or S:UE. I'm really happy with the new section of the park this year.
Does Ragin' Cajun have all of its trains on the track yet?
I dont know how many trains it has, but last time i was at the park, they had 3 on the track. By the way...they probably emptied the pool in front because of all the leaves and gunk in there from the storms.
*~There's a light~*
*~In the darkness~* *~Of everybody's life~*
It has 9 trains (Or cars). I would be believed that RC might open this weekend.
As for KC, like I said before they are having problems with this ride, they had to replace several parts and they are still having problems. Carlo
They may have all of the trains on the track, but I saw 3 when I was riding IW.
Looks like KC won't be open by the time I go. Oh well, better to atleast have one of them open vs none of them. I just really wanted to ride a top spin that was outside.
Are there any top spins as big as PKI's Tomb Raider that are outside?
Yesterday when I went. I think the only reason KC and Big Easy Balloons werent running because all the ride-ops were working the coasters. Also RC was testing and some security guards and employees got to ride it. I saw 4-6 cars on there. It should be open for the weekend. Everyhing in my opinion should be open this weekend.
