Ride this coaster in the back, the front is forceless. The back has tremendous air off the first drop. This ride was much more fun when it wasn't nuetered with trim brakes.

This ride is one of my favorites--no roughness at all. More smooth than riding in your car to get there.

This "old" ride felt new this past October--it was VERY windy that day. 5 other coasters couldn't run. The wind nearly stopped the train at points and with the restraint really feeling like nothing at all to begin with--you felt as if you were going to fall out.

Has to be ridden in the back, and hope some of the trims are off. Before the trims this might have been the best hyper in the US.

Pretty good air on the Bull, but nothing to match my dear Apollo. Worth a 4/5 still and its the best coaster in the park to me.

I only had time for one ride on RB and I took it in the front. The ride is good and has some air but it has way to many trims.

Fun ride. Reminded me of Apollo's chariot at Busch gardens Williamsburg. The trims slowed up the thrill factor.

My favorite steel coaster as of when I posted (I haven't ridden Millenium Force). Very smooth, and very fun. And I just LOVED the restraints! The felt Very confortable.

Back ride coaster, amazing air off the 1st drop, and MCBR as long as its not on too hard. The 2nd hill is BS with the trim.

I've heard people compare this coasters first drop with Millennium.

I still think the first drop is the best part of this ride. After that there is really nothing too exciting. 7/10

Raging Bull is a different type of hyper. I see why its called a hyper twister. You can NOT compare it to Apollo's Chariot, MF, or Nitro. Airtime is not its specialty. Speed and maneuvers is though. The first drop is good, but i've had better drops on roller coasters. I enjoyed RB, but dont expect it to act like normal hypers. Its like a looping coaster without the loops. But I still recommend it for everyone. You wont be let down.. its just different.

Raging Bull is awesome! All the overbanks and the speed makes this a winner for Six Flags. One of the best Six Flags Coasters ever!

This is one AMAZING roller coaster!!! It has a jawdropping first drop, an amazing and long layout, and some of the most comfortable seats and restraints my body has ever had the pleasure of sitting in! I could ride this ride forever!!!!

This is the biggest coaster here at my home park, it's also the biggest dissapointment. Been to the park 30 times this year, think I rode Raging Bull once or twice. What does that tell ya. :(

Very overrated, up there with Alpengeist and Millennium Force. The ride only has like two spots of airtime, and it was pretty weak, and then just has a bunch of pointless turns. I'll take Apollo over this any day.
