Since when on Ragin' Cajun....

Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.

Since when on Ragin' Cajun.... can you not have four adults on it?

We were told you can only have three people over 54 inches in on car at a time. But on Friday first thing in the morning we had 4??? Is this something new?

^^And why would you want 4 adults on the same train? Your chances of getting any spinning action are near zero.
I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.

Because 4 is common group/family and most people don't know about weight distribution or care about spinning.

It is a silly and rediculous rule but if they put 4 full grown adults in a car it might go over the weight requirement set by Zamperla. I think it was just a "cars hold 4" thing until they started having problems with cars bumping in the station at slow speeds and SF is very catious when it comes to these things and decided to follow the guideline more strictly.

Yes, I am aware of that, but Iggy is like us in that he knows 4 adults = hardly any spin. If the average joe schoe asked this question, I would have answered like you.

Im sure its not just a "We do not want 4 people in 1 car", Did you ever think maybe they noticed some STRESS issues on the cars? or the track? Im sure there is more of a Technical, or Mechanical Issue to it!

^^ Scott I'm aware of the spinning but we had four people (To adults and two kids 11 and 13 ) on it earlier. We adults sat on the outside and the kids in the middle and had the BEST spins ever on it. We went back later and we were told we had to split up. Was just curious if this was a new or old rule as I never came across it before.

It was implemented early June 2006 due to the cars being too heavy, putting stress on the brakes as well as sliding through them.
