vacoaster09 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 At this point... it seems like it may be wise to just disassemble the remainder of the station that is left at Great America and move it and re-assemble it at SFA. That could take about a week and would offer a quick station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 This is just an amazing display of ineptitude. This is on pace to be the last new Six Flags ride that opens this year in any park and it's a relocated Wild Mouse from another Six Flags park.

Koasterking48 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I agree. I feel like they are running out of excuses to not have a relocated wild mouse up and running by now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPSFMMCW Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 If KI can have the frickin worlds longest floorless coaster up by opening day then why the heck can't this park have it up that fast! C'mon! On a side note though, is this necessarily the parks fault? Would it be the workers faults instead? Don't they work for another company, not the park? Obviously though the park has something to do with it though, but maybe they shouldn't take all the blame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highridin Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 ^^yeah, I'm sure there is a reason, who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whodey Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I am going to park and not getting there until 4 tomorrow evening.(Friday night) Will I need flash pass to get all the coaster credits? I am solo and move quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPSFMMCW Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Nah probably not. The park doesn't seem to get the crowded, but I only went on Weekdays, so I dunno about weekends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am solo and move quickly. You should be fine without one. Don't get in line for Batwing first- it will have the slowest moving line if it is running. Get all the other ones done first, which can be done in under 2 hours, then head to Batwing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highridin Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Yeah, no flash pass needed. I'll b there with my daughter tomorrow. Funny, I'm actually looking more forward to the funnel cake tomorrow than riding; been craving it for about two weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPSFMMCW Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 SFA just sent an email, and in it it mentioned that passholders will be able to have ERT on Ragin Cajun from 10 to 11 am on June 20th and 21st. So that means they're gonna start testing or running it very soon! (or at least we hope so) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highridin Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Yeah, I just saw the email. That's good news. Maybe when we go today, we'll see a station or at least something that resembles one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been to the park yet this year, and no ones posted any photos or anything about it, so I had no idea! But at least they're testing...

cfc Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 ^Now all they have to do is build a station or provide a stepladder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfreak101 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Curious as to why you'd be testing a relocated clone for a full month at this point... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollercoaster Rider Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Curious as to why you'd be testing a relocated clone for a full month at this point... I'd guess after The Mt. O incident, They wanted to make sure it wouldn't happen again. Yes I know Six Flags operations/maintenance is 4,000,000x better than Mt. Olympus but the General Public doesn't know that (They call the Police/News when A Coaster is stuck on a lift hill.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highridin Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 I went today for a couple of hours. They have really squared away that Mardi Gras section; looks great and the music is good. As far as Rajin Cajin, the landscaping around it is superb. Sadly, it doesn't seem that they are putting up a station like the one at its previous location. Can't really be sure what it's going to look like, because they were still working. I'm pretty happy about that bar that they are putting there though .

CPSFMMCW Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 At Luna park, coney island, they have a coaster there called the tickler that is an exact replica to ragin Cajun. The only sort of station that they have is a cover for the ride operator. It was pretty much just a ramp walk up. This ride doesn't necessarily need a station but it'd look a lot better with one!

Highridin Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Yeah, looks like a ramp only. Not sure, but it looks like it's going to be besides the new bar. I may go again tomorrow (I live only two miles away). I'll post pics if I do go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, though it would just be nice to see one built - or at least a facade like it had at Great America - seeing as it's (allegedly) in an actual themed area rather than at Coney Island!

molemaster43 Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 I noticed that SFA's website says that Joker's Jinx is temp. closed. What is the deal with that, considering I'll be there tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 The Joker is a very temperamental villain. That ride often has issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highridin Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I went today. Good time again. Every ride had two trains running, except for mind eraser; yes, even Bat wing had two trains running. One of Jokers Jinx's trains was stuck at the top. I'm not sure if anyone was on it whenever it happened. I over heard that it got stuck on test runs, but no confirmation. They have the bar/eating area near the Rajin Cajin open. I spent some time over there enjoying the day. Very relaxing. I also noticed that the seating and shade have increased 5 fold from last year. I took pics of the Cajin, but haven't uploaded to my CPU yet. Something is not working right when I try to upload to the site from my phone.
