Raging Bull lines this year

Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.
Postby Mr. SFGAm on July 6th, 2003, 8:38 pm
From what I've read in people's trip reports, it doesn't seem like many parks have had too many crowded days this season.And my opinion on Raging Bull- For me it is by far my favorite ride at SFGAm, and my second favorite overall.... second only to the Beast!
Finally Coaster Season!!

Most likely, she's just exagerating. Unless her friend was wearing a cervical collar after it happend, there was no way she had whiplash. And if you get it on Bull, you must not be riding right, because it isn't jerky at all, and jerks are usually what cause it. I doubt you could get whiplash by riding it if they would crank the lift up to 30 mph, so you'd probably go around the track at around 85. :lol: Ride correctly, get whiplash, you deserve an award. Too bad the Darwin Award only is given to people who remove themselves from the gene pool.

The longest I've had to wait for Raging Bull was about 40 min, but the other rides have only been about a 15-20 min wait. I think S:UF has shortened all the lines a lot (imagine how short RB's lines will be when Deja Vu opens too).Also, I think Raging Bull is the best ride in the park like most of you.

once dejavu opens the line will be packed. S:UF and DJV will be the only 2 rides with lines. Maybe B:TR and V2 might have a bit of a line. :roll:

On Sunday the longest the line got was 15-20 mins even at mid-day. It never even began to weave. The line just went straight past the switchbacks.
My Top 5: 1)TTD, 2)Millennium Force, 3)Raptor, 4)Deja Vu, 5)Raging Bull

The last time I went, the end of the line was at the beginning of the stairs. 5 minute wait with a 3 train operation, I went on it 3 times and went through the fastlane.

Why would you waste a way-to-expensive Fastlane on Raging Bull if the line is at the stairs?

I think she meant that she just re-entered throught the fastlane opening.

i went to SF:GAM yesterday (July 19th) and wow it was PACKED. the batman line was all the way by Ice Mountain Splash, and the raging bull line was both queues filled, the line went pretty far back outside of the ride, but it went fast with 3 trains.i rode RB and took my shirt off :lol:viper felt like it was going fast. first my fav row on viper was first, but i went on 3rd and i got alot of the sights from first row, but it felt a lot smoother and less "holy crap we're going to fly off the track" feeling.and american eagle is getting ricketty. the bottom of the supports are rotting :cry:i hope they restore it in the next 5 years.

Well, I would never go on a Saturday in the middle of July lol... I try to avoid July at all costs anyway. I'm hoping August crowds will calm down a bit. Then, I'll start making my weekend trips in September, and of course the last weekend of operation in November.

I went yesterday July 20th and the park didnt have a lot of people in it. Lines were short. Im suprised it wasnt crowded considering it was the last day of that mexican fest.

I'm hoping that when I go on Aug 11th, that crowds will be smaller since it's a Monday. Over the last two years, all of my visits have been in May and June, and I've now become spoiled by the short lines. :D
