Talk about anything that has to do with the amusement park industry here.

how many of you people prefer Raging Bull over Wild Thing, or visa versa. i think they are both equally great rides. on Wild Thing before you go into the tunnel, i think you get a LOT of air time and i love that feeling. but i think Raging Bull is a lot smoother and better just because its a lot more fun with four seats per row instead of two seats per row.

Wild Thing is braked to the point where it give no airtime what so ever. It is easily one of the worst hyper coasters around.

While bull is over braked also, it's nowhere near as bad as wild thing.

Although i have not been on Wild Thing, comfort is important for me and i have heard that Wild Thing is no where near as smooth or comfy. Ragin Bull for me.

My cousin who lives in minnesota says wild thing is boring. My other cousin who lives in mn says wild thang has a lapbar and seatbelt. The cous who says wild thang is boring is coming to visit next summer and were taking here to sfgam so shell probably think bull is boring.

I live in MN and Wild Thing's only thrill is it's first drop.

RB is way better.

i will admit that bull does win and its wayy more smooth but in terms of lines as well Wild thing never has a line, which is not that bad for that ride, compared to bull the line is worth the wait though

Bull's line isn't always that long. On some of those SUPER crowded Fright Fest days, yeah, of course it is. I waited like a half hour for it during FF, but during the regular season, the maximum I waited was only like 15 mins.

I would say that Raging Bull is better even though i've never been on Wild Thing. Raging Bull is smoother and looks better.
