Ragin' Cajun is a steel roller coaster at located Six Flags Great America in Gurnee, Illinois. Manufactured by Zamperla and Reverchon, the design is a "Crazy Mouse", which is similar to a "Wild Mouse." Crazy Mouse coasters' cars freely spin during the second half of the ride, but Wild Mouse coasters' cars do not. Ragin' Cajun opened in May 2004 as part of a new "Mardi-Gras" section at Six Flags Great America. The ride runs five cars at a time, and each car holds up to four riders with a maximum of three adults.
On May 29, 2004, 52-year-old ride mechanic Jack Brouse of Zion, Illinois, was hit by a roller coaster car as he attempted to cross the tracks. Suffering from a traumatic head injury, he died at Froedtert Hospital in Milwaukee.[1]
