After it rained off and on most the morning, it finally cleared up and me and my brother decided to go to Six Flags to get a ride on Cajun. I got to the park at just before 5pm. Raging Bull, Triple Play and King Chaos where among the rides listed as not operating today. Weird to see Raging Bull on there and neither Ice Mountain Splash or Logger's Run on it. As we were entering the park though we saw Raging Bull was testing, but our first priority was to get a ride on Ragin Cajun.
I was surprised that the park still looked pretty crowded, afterall it had been raining off and on most the day. First stop was Ragin Cajun, and I got to see the ride running for my first time. The line was full but I didn't care, I was going to ride this ride today.
The wait was about 50 minutes for the ride, althought it didn't feel that long to me. Maybe because I was busy watching the ride. The station and everything looked really nice, although it doesn't look like it's 100% finished yet. The cars look great with the drunken looking Alligator on the front. The loading procedure is pretty quick, you sit down buckle your seat belt then move up and then pull down your lapbar. Before the lift you get a pretty strong little boast from the tires and then up the lift you go.
From the top of the ride you get a great view of Roaring Rapids as you quickly get thrown to the right of the car. The top part of the ride is pretty fun getting thrown side to side harder and harder each turn. The ride really was reminding me of Lost Coaster of Superstition Mountain at Indiana Beach the way it throws you around, with less padding though. The spinning section of the ride is crazy though, I would have never guessed the cars could get spinning so fast. Very Fun! The ride finishes with another turn and two very quick hills before the brake's that provide some airtime sort of. Overall I thought the ride was great, alot better then I was expecting and it is a great addition to the park! Thank you Six Flags!
With only 3 hours left to go we found out that all the lines were pretty short. Here's what we did with the other 3 hours.
-Batman: The Ride (2 Rides)- Back row both times - Walk on: Back row of each train had the seats roped off cause of broken harness's! (Only a few people will understand why I pointed this out.)
-V2 (1 Ride) - Back Row - 1 train wait
-Spacleys (1 Ride - Back Row - Walk On: Got to ride this ride when your trying to get on all the coasters in one day
.
-Iron Wolf (1 ride) - Back Row - Walk On
-AE (1 ride on each side) - Walk on both sides: AE Red had pretty light trims on during the double helix, both had great airtime on the out run.
-Revolution (1 Ride) - I hope they are still messing with the program on this ride, because I don't like the current one that's being run.
-Demon - Back Row - Walk on
-Whizzer - 2nd car - 1 train wait
-Viper - Row 2:1 - Walk On: I don't know what's wrong with this ride, the past 2 rides I have had on it have had almost zero airtime, even on the final hill. Either somethings wrong with this ride, or I was just spoiled from Cornball Express the day before.
-S:UF - Back Row - 5 min. wait : They actually had the "S" in front of the ride roped off so people wouldn't walk on it.
-Deja Vu - Row 1A - 20 min. wait : They were sort of doing assigned seating. The guy didn't give us a row though so I just walked right to 1A and got on it without a wait in the station.
-Raging Bull - Back Row - 15 min. wait : Since this ride opened late the line was long almost the whole time we were there, so we decided to do it as the last ride of the night.
Got off Bull at 9:05 and had successfully rode all 13 rollercoasters within 4 hours. So the short day turned out to be pretty great, we went to the park with the goal to just get on Ragin' Cajun and ended up getting on all the coasters. I was very glad I made the decision mid-day to go to the park.
