*Baby, it's open, and I finally rode it May 16th. Lemme say one word: AWESOME! This coaster is one mean beast, and when I say beast, I MEAN beast. This coaster features everything from a massive first drop (Spectacular) and many hills that'll keep you screaming for more. Oh, yeah....It's definitely worth the wait....I waited for 2 hours for one ride. I seriously cannot wait to ride it again. Oh man, I've got Raging Bull fever....it's the best coaster in the park...and the best one I've ridden on....EVER! If anyone says this ride sucks....I smell Raging Bullsh*t.

The Story:
A ferocious beast once terrorized old Southwest Territory, inciting the citizens there to flee the town and build the beautiful courtyards and mission seen today.
