Which rides stay up during rain?
I think all of the coasters except for Ragin Cajun and Whizzer...Correct me if I'm wrong...I think it's when lightning and wind get involved that other coasters shut down..
Have a take and don't suck, it's the Jim Rome Show!
I'm guessing most coasters go down in high wind and/or lightning right?
^All of them, yeah.

Weather closings for rides:
Light Rain (Typically called once the pavement is mostly wet): Whizzer Ragin' Cajun Little Dipper Spacely Sprocket Rockets Winner's Circle Go Kart Track Sky Trail Krazy Kars Also in any rain, Raging Bull and Demon can only run 2 trains Ricochet, River Rocker, and Revolution will go down if they get too wet Moderate/Heavy Rain (called once the raindrops splash in the puddles): Viper Demon Raging Bull X Flight American Eagle Vertical Velocity Batman: The Ride Superman: Ultimate Flight Revolution Ricochet River Rocker Logger's Run Yankee Clipper Lightning within 10 miles: Viper Demon Raging Bull X Flight American Eagle Vertical Velocity Batman: The Ride Superman: Ultimate Flight Whizzer Ragin' Cajun Little Dipper Spacely Sprocket Rockets Sky Trek Tower Giant Drop Condor Roaring Rapids Buccaneer Battle Logger's Run Yankee Clipper Orbit King Chaos Revolution Up, Up & Away Lightning within 5 miles: Triple Play River Rocker Ricochet ZoomJets Bouncer Whirligig East River Crawler Big Easy Balloons 30 mph wind: All of KIDZOPOLIS Ragin' Cajun Jester's Wild Ride Big Easy Balloons King Chaos X Flight Giant Drop (Giant Drop will also disable cars when cables start hitting the tower. The ride is usually shut down well under 30mph) Sky Trek Tower 35 mph wind: Superman: Ultimate Flight Raging Bull
Great answer! I'm guessing your an employee?
I think with coasters they only shut them down when there is lightning. Coasters run faster when the tracks are wet. I have been on a few in moderate to high rains. AE is the smoothest fastest fide you will ever have in the rain. I always run to it when rain hits the park.
When it rains don't run for the exit and leave the park. All rides become water rides in the rain 
Your definition of moderate/heavy rain may vary, but what I posted is 100% accurate. If you were on a coaster in heavy rain, one of two things happened, either your train got sent right before the phone call came in, or it started pouring while you were on the ride.
I've had one odd occurrence with rain, and that was when they closed Raging Bull when it was down-pouring with no lightning, but kept Eagle running the whole time. It poured for about 15 minutes straight. Has anyone else ever noticed this happen before? It may have just been a one time thing, but it really surprised me.
^As Dejavu2001 said, it takes time to call the rides and Eagle may have still been cycling to get riders off. In some cases the coasters will continue cycling empty.

^ That seems a little long though. Maybe that was a bad time to find out both sides phones were broken
^meh, it's happened. There was a time where a supervisor stopped by every hour or so because both phones died.
