Honestly, so not worth the money
It's Ragin' Cajun, but black and indoors. It isn't the same model, but it is a wild mouse, and it's cars don't spin.

They should put some spinning mobiles on the dark knight, and get rid of ragin' cajun. I at least was thrilled on Ragin' Cajun, but only because of the spinning cars.

Like, I waited 2 hours for The Dark knight, because I didn't know what it was, because well.. it was indoors. I was expecting a compact, but fun roller coaster. Maybe like the new Steel Hawg. But, right when I got into the station, saw only lap bars, I knew I was going to regret waiting in line.

Whatever, let the company do what they want. I just hate how they spoil California with MM. They are getting ANOTHER ride, and all of their newest rides have been something thrill seekers want to ride. Oh, and I like how they favor their Giant Boomerang, but ours and georgia's had to die. What a shame.

^ Why would they get rid of ragin cajun? Ragin Cajun is so much better then TDK, I would rather have TDK gone then Ragin Cajun.

first, a lot of looping roller coasters have lap bars ( son of beast had lap bars when it had it's loop)


and what a lot of people don't understand is the fact that SFMM has high competition and will keep getting new/better attractions and upgrades to stay on par with surrounding parks and bring in more guests

more guests = more money for the chain

so i guess you could call SFMM the "cash cow" of the chain

MM does have a lot of competition to deal with but they can't always get the newest and best rides.
