Ragin' Cajun front seat on-ride HD POV Six Flags America

If the name and the coaster seem familiar, chances are you ridden or heard of this Zamperla Twister Coaster 420STD Wild Mouse when it was at Six Flags Great America near Chicago before it was moved to the Washington DC suburbs in 2014. Only one other of these models currently operating has been relocated (not counting Opa from Mt. Olympus, which is now part of Wade Shows lineup of traveling carnival/fair rides). Do you know the name of that coaster and where it's located? Bonus point for knowing it's former location and name.
You can also watch the off-ride video we posted to see more of what this fun family coaster looks like: • Ragin' Cajun off-ride ...
Six Flags America is located near Washington DC in Upper Marlboro, Maryland.

Very underrated ride at a very underrated park. I enjoy Six Flags America just as I do any other park and though I'm not a big fan of smaller coasters this one is pretty solid. I really enjoyed this one.

[@ObiePlays]

1:47 I thought the thing flew off the tracks lol

[@georgiarhinehart15]

My cousin and I rode this ride, WE LOVED IT. We did it OVER and OVER. :)

[@sanddudes3045]

Super painful roller coaster. The turns hurt my legs and I kept hitting the side of the metal car and there was nothing to dampen the impact. Needs more support. A fun ride that needs improvement.

It's a "Crazy mouse" coaster, which is similar to "Wild mouse". Which are types of coasters that take tight and flat turns.

This ride is so fun.This is my favorite ride at six flags America.The best part is the end where you keep going up and down but spinning.

[@mw2kingk]

On May 29, 2004, a 52-year-old ride mechanic from Zion, Illinois was killed by a roller-coaster car from the Ragin' Cajun as he attempted to cross the tracks. Suffering from a traumatic head injury, he died at Froedtert Hospital in Milwaukee.

[@DavidAnuszewski]

This was 1st roller coaster i rode last week when i went there. I love the ride but it super painful. It whips your body around like crazy. And when it goes around the sharp turns it feels like the whole car is tipping over. If you can withstand a little pain this is a very fun ride.

[@9290SC]

Got on this yesterday! Its surprised me.....love it. Very jerky ride👍

[@cosmickitty3457]

Aw I remember going on this! I wasn't really into roller coasters when I was younger, so this ride started me on them. I was so sad when it closed!

What's the difference between a reverchon and a zamperla spinning wild mouse?

[@johnbrooks715]

The other coaster that was relocated that is the same model of coaster is Rockstar Coaster at Fun Spot USA and it was originally located at Legoland Florida as Galaxy Spin. :-)

[@temari9881]

Wow I live only 20 minutes away from this and i missed you guys

[@JonGrundl]

The speakers on the lift are a nice added touch. Too bad it didn't get a nice facade like at Great America though.

[@treyvonrichardson4245]

You should come back to our six flags we have a new ride called the bourbon street fireball

Looks like fun.

[@onegirl1750]

I was laughing so hard on this 😂. Becuase i was soo scared

[@lj-jl4fm]

This is exactly the same layout and car style as Twister at Lightwater Valley - the first like this.

[@BusyLilBeeX]

This looks EXACTLY like Primeval Whirl at Disney World's Animal Kingdom, but a suckier version 'cause there's no theming to this one whatsoever.

[@mitchellries256]

When I was at Six Flags Great America in 2013, I stood in line for this ride but got out because it took too long. But if I had known it would be it's last year at the park, I would have stayed in line.. Oh well. At least it will be here next time I get to this park.

[@thecoasterdoctor659]

It still weirds me out that this year will mark the 10th anniversary of the Two-Face accident that caused it to shut down for a whole year and ultimately be removed from the park. It feels like not that long ago when I was riding Two-Face at the park.

[@gladitsnotme]

oh snap i remember that! is that why it's gone?! well geez they really hit the irony button by replacing it with another coaster known for injuring and killing people lmfao

THAT WAS IN GRAET AMERICA I WAS SO READY FO RIDE IT THEN IT WAS GONE THANKS ALOT :(

[@barthearn5456]

It's actually really fun but that airtime hill thing is painful XD

My Dad and brother liked it, my Mom and I did not while at Great America.

Isn't this also the same model of Exterminator @ Kennywood? I can't tell seince exterminator is in the dark

It's like Ratón Loco from La Feria de Chapultepec in México.

I feel like one of these rides would look awesome if they were set in a level of water under the tracks.

I don't love coasters like this because they really swing you around on every turn. You are guaranteed to bump into the side of your cart quite a few times lol

Rct3andCP It operated at Six Flags Great America in 2013.

[@kylejohnson5216]

Idk I'm guessing cheetah chase or sand serpant now at busch gardens only because the beginning is the same

[@coasterforce]

Kyle Johnson Cheetah Chase or Sand Serpent, as it's now called, at Busch Gardens in Tampa was relocated from Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, Virginia. However it's a Mack Rides classic wild mouse, not a Zamperla spinning wild mouse coaster.

[@onegirl1750]

I was crying and screaming on this. My chest felt like exploding. Plus! The one i rode was wayy faster My 10 year old friend and my 9 yr old sister looked at me as if i was crazy.

[@Tracksuitjesus]

this ride was removed from chichago after causing minor injuries to riders the iron wolf was removed from the park for similar reasons I can tell you that this ride is very painful at times after coming off I had a fue bumps and a bit of what felt like whiplash

oh ya and the death in 2004

[@chadhembrock2445]

They had to put something in the spot of the Two Face. I was on the Two face the week before the Hydraulic blew and ulitmate closed that death trap of a ride for good. It would break down everytime I would stand in line for it, and the last time I rode it, Hydraulic fluid was dripping down on to us and the staff didnt care about it when we mentioned it. Havent been back to the park since then.

[@MsBest450]

Chad Hembrock I know what you mean! the park has decent rides.But the staff can be very unprofessional and ghetto.They seem not to care.We were on the drop tower and we had to make sure we had our seats locked down by ourselves! The staff remembered just before she it the button and was like "oh yeah uh have a great rides" What?! I'm surprised a law suit hasn't happened yet.

[@thecoasterdoctor659]

Chad Hembrock two face was only a "death trap" cause six flags didn't take care of it right. it was a good coaster, I rode it too.

[@s3xy13oi7]

can you tell me how was the ride because I never been on that ride and I wish to go but it's not there anymore 😢😢😢😭😭😭

[@Adck79]

The ride is like any ordinary ride. It jerks when it turns to the side and the first drop just gives you this weightless feeling for like about a second which is then followed by a bigger drop. When it gets to the lower level it starts twisting an d spinning around every turn with a slight jerk till the ride comes to a stop.

[@ninavillarreal6520]

that ride is no longer there sad

[@babyrosee.8824]

This Ride uses the same layout as Primeval Whirl, if so, Disney must be furious with Six Flags.
