Rougarou is gonna be a fun roller coaster but not nearly as intense as Intimidator 305.
1-Millennium Force | 2-Intimidator 305 | 3-Fury 325
4-Skyrush | 5-Iron Rattler | 6-X2 | 7-Kingda Ka

Maybe he loves Millennium Force. Comparable to I305 - they both are Cedar Fair's Gigas!

Rougarou testing has begun (skip to 0:40 in the video to see it).

Looks like 2015's new experience/ride will have something to do with LeBron James after all! (Proceedings from the first-rider auction will go to the LeBron James Family Foundation)

<3 the fatass seat with two belts. Do other B&M fatass seats have two belts?

It's an extra-fatass seat.

Anyone want to see the first Rougarou test run on film ever?
Here you go!


Sorry about the quality, the video was on Tony's Periscope and I screen recorded it. It was the only way to get the video out of it.

And if you missed the Periscope because you don't have an iPhone, or you just missed it, and you want to watch it, click here.

^ I should have mentioned that they are using different wheels for testing and the trims on the drop are OFF!

Are they gonna leave the Trim off and the wheels like that?

That's great to hear :). It's really flying through the course and it should offer some pretty good forces. I'm looking forward to riding it this summer.

^^^^I saw someone comment that on the Periscope. Seriously, it seems a LOT faster than before. It looks insane right now, and I'm not sure if it's the trains, or something else.

EDIT: Nvm, it must be the wheels and the trim not being on, TTD03 just beat me to it :)

Its unknown if the trim will return during the real season, but it is there just in case.

That's definitely faster than when it had standup trains and the trim off.

It's booking through the course faster than Wicked Cyclone, lol, I hope it retains its speed and loses the trim.

It's funny how what looks to be the best B&M in the last 15 years or so isn't a new product :D Some good old school intensity with floorless trains, plus Mantis awesome layout :o

Now, we need a company like RMC for B&M coasters. They could take all thos boring forceless B&Ms and give them this intensity... (and someone to tell Port Aventura that trimming Dragon Khan on the MCBR is illegal... Oh, my poor favorite coaster :cry: )
