Some of you may be interested to know the Raging Bull had its one millionth rider of the season on Monday August 7. With the ability to run as many as three trains and plenty of room to park them, the ride is built for speed. However, much of the credit goes to Six Flags Great America's ride operations and ride maintenance teams. Similar rides to the Bull (and soon to follow, Superman and Batman, reaching their one millionth rider) are operated at other Six Flags parks and their competitors. Some even have longer seasons and speedier configuration. But SFGAM still outperforms them year after year by minimizing maintenance downtime and operating with maximum efficiency.

well it's a low capacity ride, running 4 person cars, isnt much you can do to raise it's capacity. Even adding more cars there can only be a certain number out on the track at once.
That coaster really has no place at SFGAm or any major theme parks that sees 3 million people per season.

The maximum number of cars allowed on the circuit at one time is 8. At Full capacity the theoretical capacity is about 800 PPH. We will most likely never run 8 though, and until further notice only 4 cars will be running at one time making capacity under 400 pph.
Did SFGAm not screw with the ride when it was installed?
I remember hearing from people at the park that SFGAm needed to "upgrade" a bunch of stuff, while it seems all the rest work just fine running all cars, SFGAm has never really ran more than 5 and it seems to have issues just doing that.

I think the station is bigger on Primeval than on Ragin Cajun. Thus, there can be more cars. On Primeval Whirl, they have one car come right after another in the station.
