The bull doesn't even need a VR treatment! Dispatch times will be awful now. With reports for other parks getting VR, it's going to stack the trains.

They should've done this on Demon instead honestly. Heck even Superman would've been a better choice than Raging Bull.

Does anyone know if it's getting new revolution or a total new experience and when it will open

[ConorTully]

Lmao yeah lets ruin arguably the best all around ride in the park, if i cant choose from at LEAST the back 3 rows ill go mad. Raging bull in any other row is an absolute snoozefest.

Jman has it right^ , at least use a less popular/meaningful attraction.

[depotrat]

In some parks they have chosen a secondary coaster. At SFNE they chose STR which for most is a top 5 or 10 coaster in the world and almost always had the longest line even before this. Maddening!

[JaminOut]

And I thought Great America was smart enough to opt out of this nonsense.

At the very least, I hope it's going to be a custom VR. I'll do it once and go back to riding JL and Viper.

The word I'm searching for I can't say because there's preschool toys present.

I mean this is just dumb it doesn't change the ride forces or elements of the ride so essentially you are getting the same ride. I mean seriously virtual reality how about we put all the crap down and live in actual reality? This money could have been better spent elsewhere. Barring them actually using inteligence and not doing this junk they could have picked a different coaster, do TDK and tie it into JLBFM. I think this bull will last a season maybe 1/2. If guests complain I don't forsee them keeping it.

Sidenote anyone know what is going on with Chaos?

I'm not going to make a judgement of this is good or bad, but I will say that I doubt this is costing Six Flags much - all the VR stuff seems to include heavy Samsung promotion, so I suspect they're kicking in quite a bit for it.

They could've used that money to paint Superman

Now that whole side of the park will be crowded with Justice League and now VR on Raging Bull.

It already was. On the right side of the park we know have Goliath, X-Flight, Bull w/ VR and JL: BfM. The left side has..... Superman and TDKC?

[Re-Check 9]

V2 is now Platinum only/one time only for the Flash Pass. Makes sense given the low capacity.

I know it's not common for B&M's to have unloading stations, but if VR is more than just this season, I hope that Six Flags gives RB an unloading station. I mean, if you are already dealing with stacking, then why not? Yes, I know this gets rid of the bins, but maybe it's worth it. Besides, who would want to wait longer? (BTW: do unloading stations even boost RPH that much? )



And guys, with the new wait time, Six Flags thinks we all NEED to buy Flash Passes! Hank, you greedy weasel!

No bins or Sports Bottler holders would actually speed up load and dispatch times. I was surprised at Cedar Point how few rides actually had bins.

[Guy_With_A_Stick]

King Chaos is back open.

Yes! It's honestly one of my favorite flats in the park. Only second to Terror Twister II (when in operation).

[CoasterCale]

Dispatch times will be 5-10 minutes based on Goliath's dispatching at La Ronde. It's an interesting experience but is not worth the 2.5 hour standby times that were reported.

[Tardis1972]

What about Fiddler's Fling? Has it at least been reassembled. Last time I was at the park (June 6th) it was still completely disassembled.

[Guy_With_A_Stick]

Nope, nothing yet.

Operations today have been crazy. Goliath, Raging Bull, and American Eagle have been cranking trains out faster than they can get to the brake run.

I got on Viper, Raging Bull, Demon, Xflight, The Eagle, Revolution, King Chaos, Loggers Run x2, and Superman in 3-4 hours. Like you said, great dispatching.

Yeah, but needing to put your stuff in ride lockers is quite frankly one of the most annoying things ive ever had to do.

[JaminOut]

Goliath x2, American Eagle, X-Flight, Raging Bull x2, V2, Batman x2, King Chaos, and currently in line for Dark Knight. Arrived at 11:15. Average of 25 minute wait (we had lunch, too).
