SFGAm 6/4/04

Let us know how your day at the park was.
Postby SFGAMan on June 5th, 2004, 3:46 pm
Batman: 1
V2: 1
Ragin' Cajun: 1
Raging Bull: 1
Iorn Wolf: 1
SUF: 1
AE Blue: 1
Viper: 1
Revolution: 2
Jester's Wild Ride: 1
Chubasco: 1
Whirligig: 1
East River Crawler: 1

Overall, it was a good day with beautiful weather. The crowds weren't too bad, with the longest line was SUF at about 40 min, and there weren't as many busses as I had expected. Surprisingly, Ragin' Cajun is very intense and a whole lot of fun. Another ting is that BTR is a lot less rougher than before, but it's still intense. I really like the paint job.

Was Deja Vu not operating? Was it even being tested? I thought East River Crawler was removed. How about King Chaos? Anything happening with it?

East River Crawler had rehab done to it at the end of the 2002 season, it is still there.

Deja Vu was operating fine yesterday. Viper got stuck on the lift hill mid-afternoon, but opened up later in the day. The crowd wasn't bad, and it seemed like an even mix of students/families.

Anything happening to Triple Play yet? Also, have they added any more trains on to Ragin' Cajun yet?

King Chaos-Anyone know anything? ALso, on revolution, are they going to add the two plates to the top (with flags) like the prototype drawing shows?

King Chaos isn't running yet, but on Friday I saw two people working on it. There aren't any dummies in the seats on anything.

Yeah. Does any one get hurt while on Ragin Cajan? I know I did. I kept on smacking my side into the walls and alls I can say is OUCH. :) Pretty fun/unexspecting ride though. Maybe hoped for a lapbar? But I dunno. Anyways, nice TR. Have a good one.
Watch out theres a new Hurricane in Gurnee, IL!

Good TR. Sounds like it was a good day.

It was painful only on my second ride on RC. It didn't last long though.

How can you be unsuspecting of the constant banging on it? That's what the whole ride concept is about and they did a good job with it and made a great ride :).

King Chaos is more important to SFGA than Triple Play. However, the cars have been done for awhile now. I bet you that it will open in "peak" season (July). You can seem in back of the bumper cars either riding Condor or SUF. When I was at WDW, they have a ride similiar to RC. That was terrible, do you think this is any better?

Triple Play's cars have been ready since opening day I believe, and since RC is a clone of the one in WDW I would assume your opinion is right. I can't really say though because I havnt been on it.

Well, I hope they get King Chaos open pretty soon. I know they are/were waiting for a part from Huss, but I didn't think it would take this long. Also, on Revolution, does anyone know if they are going to add the plates at the top that state "revolution" and have two flags? The prototype drawing on the SFGAm website shows this, but I'm guessing they are not going to put it on. I thought it looked so cool, since the way it looks now is so plain.
