It appears that Ragin' Cajun has found a new home at Six Flags Great Adventure!

Oh I should add this isn't the same as the project purple coaster. This is in addition so we are looking at SFGAv getting two new coasters

I just hope they add more ride vehicles.

Plus the Nebulaz, Wave Swinger, and Flying Scooters from SFA and a relocated Swashbuckler within the park.

Sounds solid to me

I know people kept saying the Mack shuttle doodad wasn't the real Kingda Ka replacement, so I guess it must be this!

I kinda wish we got this- we’re the only park to not have a wild mouse of any kind.

I personally don't like wild mice that much and hope KI doesn't get one. They are just so unoriginal.

I'm not sure Kings Island's coaster collection feels like it lacks something that a wild mouse would fill. Plenty of parks don't have the supporting family coaster lineup we do, so I'm perfectly fine with not scoring this one. (And even if we were going to get one, I'd much rather a ground up, modern version than an off-the-shelf, 3x relocated model.)

It's also looking like Ragin' Cajun and the other relocations are getting at least a little bit of a refurbishment before fully arriving at Great Adventure. The track is certainly being painted and some parts were spotted heading to the Zamperla (?) location in New Jersey. I don't know what they could do for any of the rides they didn't manufacture, but that's just what I've heard from people in NJ.

I've been thinking that Great Adventure needed a wave swinger and flying scooters for a while so I'm glad they're getting some basically for free. 

As for if KI should've gotten RC: I don't think we need it. The ride would've been nice to see occupy the Xtreme Skyflyer plot, but I feel like it would just hinder whatever revitalization/reorganization Action Zone desperately needs. If anything, I wish they would at least find a way to reroute The Bat's entrance to go through Skyflyer's plot.
