The pictures for the Rajin Cajun addition to SFA are clearly from the one at SFGam. So probably confirming we are losing it

Oh my GOD. This looks amazing. The inverted hill, the dive loop, the steep drop. Finally a real world class coaster for the park.

When you get to the top, and you hear that click, you better hang on, because your coming down quick!

The "inverted negative G stall" looks to be quite possibly one of the most insane elements I've ever seen on a wooden roller coaster, let alone a roller coaster in general. For anyone who has ridden an RMC, you know how wild those inversions are. I can't wait.

I can't wait for people to say "It's too short."
There are two types of people. People who think this is too short, and people who've ridden Outlaw Run. :lol: See you guys in a few hours!

Does it go underground again in the second half after the Zero G Stall?
Or am I seeing things

Yep! Looking at the renderings and the POV on YouTube, it has 3 tunnels.

I love how Six Flags uses American Eagle to advertise Colossus backwards, or should I say sussoloC?

The ride looks sweet but the name is terrible. They could of paid respect to IW and called it Timber Wolf!

I think of all the Goliath's and there are a lot. This one not only is the Best, but most fitting of the name.

I showed the teaser to my dad and all he said is "How will they get it done in time for next year?"

It's not that I think It's too short, I just think it could use some more airtime camel back moments. That's all.

If there's any sort of Q&A thing at the event today, can somebody find out for sure if Ragin Cajun is leaving (I know the footage is from SFGAm, but that doesn't really mean anything, they use stock footage all the time). Unless it's been mentioned somewhere that I missed that it's leaving FOR SURE, all I've really seen is speculation (because SFA could be getting a new one, even if that seems unlikely).

I'm planning on trying to get an interview with Hank Salemi today. If I can I plan on asking about many different items, and that is one of them.


I don't think this is it for the park this year though.

Also, I like when SF doesn't paint wooden coasters. It allows them to save money on paint and use it on other exciting attractions!
