Are there any top spins as big as PKI's Tomb Raider that are outside?


[Yesterday when I went. I think the only reason KC and Big Easy Balloons werent running because all the ride-ops were working the coasters. Also RC was testing and some security guards and employees got to ride it. I saw 4-6 cars on there. It should be open for the weekend. Everyhing in my opinion should be open this weekend.[/


I was at the park today to try to get on RC. It was not yet open. They were working on putting up a new sign. I talked with some of the workers and they said it will be open tomorow. KC will not be open for at least anouther 2 weeks. If you want to see some photos go here




I think due to them waiting on parts from Huss that it wont be up and running this weekend and prob not next weekend.

Well thought I would try rag caj at least once this season, and I did.

Didn't like it at all and wouldn't go on it even if there was no line. For those who are going to go on it wear a helmet, elbow/knee pads, and apologize to everyone else in the car ahead of time!

Hey, Ragin' Cajun was open on Saturday for 2 hours, and I think it will be open the rest of the week. I got on it 4 times, and it is awesome!!

What is up with the shakey support structure and that sound it makes after the set of zig-zags and dip when it goes into the small brake run?

I'll hopefully ride RC on Thursday so I'll post my thoughts about it then.
This is where I would usually put stuff. Can't think of anything right now... =/

^ Any Wild Mouse type coaster is typically like that. They shake so much becuase of the fact that it is not entirely placed into the ground. It's on a slab of concrete and bolted to that is the main base frame of the coaster. I believe that is why.

As far as the nosie thing, I have no idea

As far as the noise problem, you have to realize that it is brand new and the brakes havent been worked in yet.

I went on it today. And I can tell you that is runs slower then when it was running on Media Day. The Trim breaks slow the ride down quite a bit. But I still think the ride is fun. I believe lots of people don't think that it will be that fun since it is so small.

I finally got to go on it Saturday and I thought it was a blast. I haven't had that big of a smile during a ride for a long time. Just a fun ride. No thrill just fun but well worth it. I can't wait to go on it again!

I went on it three times today, even in the rain. It was really awesome, I plan on riding it a lot this season. Definitely worth riding. Can't wait to go on it again. :D

I know that they aren't really capacity friendly rides, but how are lines so far? Do the ops do their best to keep the line moving?

I got to ride it yesterday after waiting in the full queue with a wait time of about 50 minutes. It was a very fun ride, reminds me alot of Lost Coaster in the way it throws you around. I can't wait to ride it again next weekend!

Also to answer SFGAmKid's question, yesterday the ops were moving the line as fast as they probably could with a 4 car operation.

I rode it yesterday with a wait time of 1 hour and 50 minutes thanks to rain delays :) Anyway, it's a suprisingly fun and intense ride, especially if you've never been on a wild mouse. It has the slowest moving line I've ever seen though.

I went on it a lot yesterday...about 4 or 5 times, and today I am really really sore! My jaw hurts because I slamed it into my friends shoulder about 3 times each ride, and my back hurts from being tossed around in the seat and hitting the bars on the sides....but none of that matters because you laugh the ENTIRE ride...even when you slam your head into the side of the car! Its an awesome ride and I plan on riding it a lot this year! :lol:

I dont really like this ride. Im not complaining but its too rough for a family coaster. The first part would actually be more enjoyable if it didnt whip you. The only good part in the whole ride was the spinning on the bottom level. I only thought that part was a little bit fun. Maybe I might grow to like it.

It's not a family coaster the sign clearly says High Thrill Ride.

There goes the idea that everyone thought this was a family coaster.

Ragin' isn't rough whoever said it. There are a bunch of sharp fast turns what do you expect it's not roughness it's just that you get whipped around and you think that it's rough.

Ragin' Cajun as a matter of fact is a very rough ride, especially if you are on the outsides. It whips you around and the spinning is great. And whoever said it was a family coaster must have not been on it yet, not until you get on it, will you notice that it is rough and also a blast.

We still have the loudest ride in history, Brad and Nolan.
