ArundelHigh Coasters Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Haha. The roller coaster reminds me of an RCT3 coaster cause of its station, but it rode great yesterday! It did break down for about 15 minutes in the middle of the day yesterday but that was it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarienLaker Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Â Â Move over YOLOcoaster. Â Seriously Six Flags? I guess they were going for a post Katrina look. Â Either that or they're going to give Ragin Cajun an RCT3 style station for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBH Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 That is the most wonderfully pathetic thing I have ever seen... you go from a semi-nice station at SFGAm to a couple of boards with thrown-together signs.... Nicely done Six Flags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djboss302 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Â Â Move over YOLOcoaster. Â Â That is amazing. Should be in the hall of fame for roller coaster stations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilrider Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Are they going to bother to at least place the proper apostrophe in "It's" on that "Its Cajun Time" sign? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfreak101 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Having just visited Great America, I really wish the facade for Rajun Cajun came to the park with the ride. Assuming that our New Orleans sections looks half as decent as theirs, it would've fit in really well coming off the buildings just next to the ride. Â (I'm assuming that the next ride/coaster addition at Great America will use the facade and the open area behind it, hence it being kept. But it can't be that hard to replicate...)

Rollercoaster Rider Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Give Us the LOL Show and Gladiator show and we'll give you the facade. Deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highridin Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Lol,..the LOL show is actually pretty funny. The Gladiator show seems to be getting better as the actors are getting more efficient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterLover Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Work continues on the queue and station. I'd say it looks a fair deal better than it did last weekend.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoasterLover Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 What does that purple sign say? Â Something along the lines of keeping on the path and out of the landscaping (until recently, they did not have any queue rails up). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
railryda Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Honestly? You were disappointed the park decided to open the ride the way it was? I guess they could have delayed it another week or two and opened it completely finished, but let TPR complain about it not being open. What difference does it make what the ride looks like as long as it's safe to ride. Â This park has problems with the county and state government that no one has experienced at another amusement park. They're try to fix the blighted areas of the park and the customer service problems that have plagued it in the past. Are they perfect, no, but they're leaps and bounds ahead of where they were 5-10 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atter Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Is that how short the queue is or is it longer? Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterLover Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 ^What you see in that second pic is about it. You have to keep in Mind that SFA doesn't get terribly long lines and they have a bunch of rides that have queue lines that are WAY bigger than they need to be and essentially NEVER get used (ROAR, Joker's Jinx, Batwing, and Apocalypse quickly come to mind). I think the amount of queue they have there will be appropriate in a year or two when the hype dies down and until then, they have some space outside the main entrance to the queue where they could easily set up a temporary overflow queue.

Â Â On the Bright Side, It looks better than what was there last year. Â Big time. I had no doubt that the station was going to get better. They put way too much work on that side of the park to let it stay with the plywood. I do not need a grand station, just a well functioning ride. I never knew that type of ride was that fun. Never been on a mouse. I skipped it twice when I went to SFGA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yankeeman311 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Went down from Jersey to go to this park yesterday to meet up with some other enthusiasts. Only 1 of the 3 ended up showing up but we still managed to spend 8.5 hours in this park (shocking I know). Here's my reviews of the coasters and some flats there: Â Roar- better than I expected it to be. We found it amazing the vast difference of a ride experience it is from back to front. In the back it was smooth but not as much airtime where in the front it was much rougher but at least it had a little airtime. Â Apocalypse- the worst big coaster in the park imo. I hate Green Lantern in GAdv and this was basically the same. Lots of headbanging. Â Mind Eraser- pretty much what I expected though I prefer the one in SFNE. Â Great Chase- yes I credit whored this and felt like I was going to hurt my leg on the turns. Just imagine having 2 guys over 6'0 riding in the same car on this. Â Rajin' Cajun- first spinning mouse and I have to say it surprised me. It's much more fun than a regular mouse imo. Just wish they'd start the spinning earlier than they do. Also they don't let more than 3 people over 52 inches in a car so be careful groups. Â Joker's Jinx- probably the most disappointing coaster here. I was expecting better from this. After the initial jolt the launch is pretty tame. Also the first half is very weak. On the bright side the next to last turn and final corkscrew are much stronger so at least this finishes on a good note. This was also the one ride I didn't even think about putting my hands up. Â Wild One- pretty much what I expected. An above average woodie that is borderline top 10 for me. Has a nice sense of roughness where it has a little to make the ride more exciting but it won't bother you. Â Superman: ROS- was also a little disappointed in this. I expected the airtime to be better than Bizarro but it wasn't even close. This will only be the second hyper or bigger that failed to make my top 10 of the 6 I've ridden. The other being Millennium Force. Â Batwing- surprise of the day here. This ride had the worst operations but it's a very exciting ride. This was my first Vekoma Flyer and with riding Superman and Manta already, this had my curiousity. Being flipped around few times was interesting and the restraints are so loose once you flip it adds an intimidating factor being in a flying position. This is honestly in contention for best coaster in the park for me. Â Zydeco Zinger- honestly much tamer than I thought it'd be. Nothing really memorable here. Â Voodoo- great drop tower. First Intamin one for me too and it proved to be the next best thing to ARM. Ride is short but the drop is pretty powerful. Probably the one world class ride this park has and was my favorite ride in the park. Â Rodeo- was not prepared for this ride. This thing is wicked. It had more force than most coasters in the park and I'd have to say it's a hidden gem. Make sure you ride this if you have the stomach for it. Â Overall nice day at the park. Not as terrible as I expected. Me and my friend both agreed that the coaster lineup mostly has nothing terrible (except Apocalypse) but really has nothing that stands out and makes it worth going out of the way for. I think it's a nice stop if you have a little time or are in the area though. A lot of station waits on a Saturday is a nice bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
