Ride Rajun Cajun Early.....

Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.

Ride Rajun Cajun Early....On your computer of sorts.

I was browsing through some sites this morning while bored and found a on-ride POV of the exact type of Reverchon Spinning Wild Mouse we are getting next year at Lonestarthrills.com

http://www.lonestarthrills.com/features ... php#onRide
The video is the 7th one down under the title "Crazy Mouse". Sure looks like it will be a very fun and very disorienting ride.

Those who can't handle Chubasco (Tom & Scotts neck ;)) you might have trouble handling this little ride :).
Go Bulls!

The only difference is that coaster is run trimless, now I dont think Gam will run it without trims, but we can all hope!

At disney their wild mouse (Almost the same layout, I believe) runs with trims. How do you know that the ride in the movie is running without trims? I remember they really slow you down just before they unlock the cars and allow them to freespin.

Yeah no kidding, Brad. Looks pretty nice. There's one thing I need to remember about this ride: I shouldn't ride it right after lunch. :lol:

Oh i will and the unsuspecting guiest won't see it coming. :twisted:
Seriously though, i could eat lunch and ride that or go and ride Raging Bull or any coaster an not throw up. I haven't ever thrown up on a coaster in my lifeand hopefully never will.
This is where I would usually put stuff. Can't think of anything right now... =/

I've never gotten sick on a coaster either, but this one spins around insanely. It's usually spinning rides that upset my stomach after a meal.

I can eat before riding too, my friends and I ate a large bucket thingy of cheese fries literally 2 minutes before riding Deja Vu and I didnt feel a thing.....I wont have a problem with the spinning making me puke(because I never have) but it may give me a headache...oh well, it'll be worth it! :lol:

Me First and the Gimme Gimmes is the best cover band ever. Anyway, to be on subject...

Ragin' Cajun is going to be awesome. Mainly because of the Dramamine. All hail Dramamine. I'm going to go sacrifice something in honor of Dramamine.

On all the spinning mice I've ridden, only trim I've felt is right when they unlock the cars, and I think one of the final turns.

Also the spinning has a lot to do with weight placement in the car, I forget exactly how to weight it for max spinnage (though there is some luck needed also). And I dont suspect that the SFGAm ride ops will accept one pound tips (I guess that'd be a $1.75 tip here in the states) to pull the pin in the station and have it spin the entire ride :)

It's quite a bit more fun with the car unlocked the entire ride, maybe something to suggest for the ACE ERT on it on July 10 or whenever that is. (I dont think I was supposed to reveal that, but oh well) :)

I'm fine on rides after eating, except for two separate occasions:

1) The first time I had been on RB since the incident I had just drank a 20 oz. Coke since you can't take it on the rides. I started freaking out as we got to the top and I swear I almost fainted from feeling so lightheaded. It turned out to be dehydration, which I figured out after gulfing down an entire 32 oz. free water from that stand outside of Viper's queue.

2) I had just eaten and went on Chubasco. The spinning put some sort of really weird pressure on my stomach, but it turned out to be just gas! :lol:

I've never been sick on a coaster, but 5 consecutive laps on Kumba, with my eyes closed for the last one, almost changed that.... worst idea ever.... but amazingly fun.
