X-Flight, Six Flags Great America

Iron Rattler has a rattly moment?

What coaster is this? Goudurix

... and Rougarou Oops.

We only need Gatekeeper and maybe Pipe Scream! Photo from CP Rundown's Facebook:

This! This is my favorite drop tower! The airtime on that is borderline painful, and incredible. I should also add the second to last hill on Zippin Pippin at Bay Beach Amusement Park. It was about the same level of intensity as Indiana Beach's drop tower.

At first glance I thought this was a picture of the real coaster, took me a couple of seconds to realize it was not. Well done, keep it up! Me too! Shows you magnificant this model is.

Adventureland (Iowa) banned selfie sticks today!

Not really eating, but I really did not want the soy sauce Coke I was pressured into drinking. Luckily, it was only a dip, and there was a sink nearby. That was terrible. At least I get the incentive of making someone very wet tomorrow (Deal was that I would taste it and then I could spray the person with a hose). When was the last time you watched/listened to the Log Flume Song?

Rcdb says that Dive Coaster at Chimelong Paradise, Griffon at Busch Gardens Williamsburg, and SheiKra at Busch Gardens Tampa have 90 degree drops, but doesn't have an angle for a mojority of the other coasters.

I was making a reference to the late announcement.

Unless they pull a Tempesto, that is.

Don't you get 2.5 hours the night before if you show a ticket for the next day? yep, and if you stay on property, it's 3.5 hours the night before. Oh, that's a really nice perk!

Don't you get 2.5 hours the night before if you show a ticket for the next day?

So, we saw the suspended seats have a lap bar, I'm assuming/hoping that the gondolas will have no restraints, as that is my favorite part of the ride.

All of Cedar Fair's Windseekers are over 300 feet. They're 301! If Cedar Fair built one they would probably stick with 301 feet, but I'm sure that Mondial could go higher if you wanted them to (I know the Funtime SkyScreamer can go over 400 feet.).

Post of the month.

Yeah, I will never wait that long for that ride again. I honestly can't even see myself even riding it if I ever go back to that park.

Thank you! It means a lot!

Hey everyone, I have just put up my trip report for this park: http://themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=70472&p=1602648#p1602648

Day 3: Six Flags Great America Today was very hot, the place was packed, and most lines were longer than an hour after 1:00. I still managed to have an incredible time, though. I did enjoy the old cartoons that were played in the queue, it made waiting in line not that bad. Onto photos. we found some geese, and since people like geese, I took a picture of some geese. We're at Six Flags Great America! Hi Superman! I found Porky Pig! I took a few pictures of the carousel that will pop up later in the report. It's time to ride Goliath! Everything about Goliath is awesome. Goliath has a sign! 15 minute wait for Goliath, sign me up! 15 minutes after we passed this sign, it jumped to 90 minutes, so we only got one ride on the beast. I love the minimal supports on the first hill. We got a boarding pass, which is a brilliant idea to easily stop line jumpers. we did happen to realize that it was for the wrong ride, but whatever. I like this. Here is a close up of the greatest thing ever created, topper track. 180 must mean something to someone, right? The supports structure for the dive loop was very impressive! Have I mentioned that Goliath is awesome yet? I forget if there were 4 or 6 people checking restraints, but they were dispatching trains pretty quickly. Our chariot awaits just outside of the station We passed on V2 since there is an impulse at our home park (Valleyfair). Batman was my first B&M, since Superman was having problems. Batmobile! The queue for Batman was pretty nice until it got to the hot black metal tube. We got a back seat ride on Batman, and it was really good. One of many awesome Snickers signs we would come across today. I see X-Flight in the distance. But it's time for American Eagle. They opened up the blue side once we got into the red side station, so we missed out on the double rides. X-Flight went down once we got to it, so we headed to the Demon next. Demon was actually better than I expected. It wasn't too rough and the tunnel was awesome! Demon has 2 loops. Demon has 2 corkscrews! Demon also has this fairly good first hill. X-Flight is open again! I will never understand why people complain so much about wing coasters. It's really awesome to sit way out on the side of the track! Here's a look at the station We sat in the back, so the first drop was awesome! I also don't understand why people complain about the vest restraints, I found them to be very comfortable. This drop is probably my favorite element on any coaster. I took a picture of a camera taking a picture. Yep, I see you Goliath Well, apparently we were hungry so we went to this BBQ place. Let's compare Six Flags to Indiana Beach, shall we? Six Flags Indiana Beach These doors control the gates on Whizzer Look at this, nature and empty switchbacks! I like this! Since Whizzer went down, we went to the observation tower and I got to take some photos from SFGAm's tallest ride! I think that it is awesome that they let you take photos from the tower! Raging Bull and viper are very good coasters. I think that this is the only picture I got of Raging Bull, even though it is now my favorite steel coaster. Whizzer is stuck on the lift hill This ride was a really big disappointment. Maybe it is because I waited over 90 minutes for it, but it was basically a pretzel loop and I don't remember the rest of the ride. X-Flight and American Eagle are also very good coasters. Also, Goliath is incredible. Carousel shot Lots of pretty flowers Love this! Viper was a fairly good wooden coaster. Whizzer is open again! Yay! Whizzer's famous spiral lift hill! I may have accidentally called him Snoopy, but I don't think he heard me. Stupid lamppost got in the way of my picture! This is what a pretzel loop looks like on the side. I can't really comment on the ride, because I only really remember the ride entering the flying position and the pretzel loop. I really like this entrance plaza. Artsy shot of the carousel. Superman's pretzel loop Goodbye Six Flags. Next stop, Harley Davidson Museum! Thanks for reading.

I would too, just because of how unnecessary a coaster seems at this point.

It's a turkey calling ride.

Yes. I would rather wait 1 your for the back seat than 30 for the middle.

Or you could just call it "Lockers" because it is amusing.
