I hope so, i'm going today in hopes it will be open (yeah right), and tommorrow, and Sunday.
I'd like to know IS IT OPEN OR NOT? If it's not I don't wanna waste time going over there tonight when I could be going to Demon.

Yeah I'm hoping everything is up and running when I'm there..

I'm sure it will be a long time before I can make the trip back up there...so I would hate to miss any rides.

17 days to go...I would think KC & RC would be up by then...

Can you give a description of what Cajuns station looks like now? Like the theming, etc... Last time I was there it wasn't even nearly done and I couldnt tell what it would look like. Or, even better does any body have pics of it?

It looks like one of the buildings on the streets of Mardi Gras with the ledges on top from where people throw down beads and things. On it there was a sign that said Hotel Royle coming soon, so that might be what it is really desined to look like but I think it looks like a building from Mardi gras in the Big Easy.

When I asked one of the workers he said you will not get wet on this ride. The fountain was only for show.

From what I understand, It does have a little water tank that will shoot up but you do not get wet from it. It's just suppose to 'thrill' you. You just can't really see it right now because the front waterfall is in the way. Im pretty sure thats how it works.
Watch out theres a new Hurricane in Gurnee, IL!

Just got back from SFGAM.

Rajun Cajun no where near done yet. they are still working on the trims and stuff for the breaks. but they were testing the cars with the water dummies every once in a while.

no one touched King Chaos today ( that I saw)

KC. is supposed to have waterjets that squiret you. If you look at the huss website I think it shows you how it works

At Knotts Berry farm they have a ride called Hammerhead, it's just like King Chaos, that ride is extra fun!! At the end, they hold u upside down and water shoots at you, it doesn't touch you but it come pretty close. its a cool little surprize, everyone was screaming when the water sprayed, cause it looks like it will get you.

I saw some people working on King Chaos around 12:45. I thought it was open for a minute when I saw people on it from the back, but later found it was just maintence :(.

Yes, people were working on it; the back cover of the ride is still off. I was told they were having problems, so I assume they are still fixing these problems. And it has been confirmed on Media Day that it would have 4 water jets. The water will come close to you but you will never get soaked or anything likes that. Just a light sprinkle, that’s usually from the wind blowing.

From the state of things at Media Day, Neither King Chaos or Ragin Cajun are anywhere near ready to operate for the public, and truthfully, Cajun was nowhere near operable for Media Day, it was quite scary for anyone into the technical aspects such as myself with no controls for brakes, missing brakes and basically no overall computer control :)

Hammerhead is different, it's a Zamperla Rotoshake and rotates side to side while the platform spins. KC rotates front and back while the platform spins (Huss Top Spin).
