Six Flags Great America (SFGAm) Discussion Thread

[Skycoastin Steve]

^Let me put it this way. If I could build my own park and steal the best coasters from Six Flags parks, thus putting some of my favorite rides in one location and eliminating any reason for me to ever step foot in a SF ever again, it would be well worth the time and money spent.

Wait for it...

DO A BARREL ROLL!

^ I really like Six Flags Great America. I do not speak on behalf of the chain, however. Great America has a solid coaster collection, ONE of the best water parks in the country, some decent shows and tons of atmosphere, especially at night. While Great America isn't my single favorite theme park period, it is definitely ONE of my favorites!

Looks like I am taking a trip to Chicago next year.

Great America really needed and deserved this in my opinion, and it looks like a great coaster. It's great to see the B&M take on the 4D design (albeit without the seat rotation; it appears as if they are using the track to create the same types of sensations) catching on so well. Seeing this layout, it would not surprise me in the least if some other parks in the Six Flags chain receive their own version of this over the next few years. A solid and smart addition to one of the best of the parks in the chain!

I need to find my way to Chicago. My question is which will get more hype, X-Flight or Dollywoods supposed wing rider?

[Thunderhead]

Seriously... Dolly has some big shoes to fill now. Cannot wait for her announcement!

[Mrlittle]

I love the design and the little amount of theming. Which I love how they are using to enhance the ride. I believe Six Flags has a winner on this one.

[BaMiTsPaT]

This looks amazing! As said before, I too love the keyhole feature and the first drop/inversion!

[scottian]

LOVE the restraints! I wish they were on everything!

[scottian]

Uh oh....

I guess the ride will be boring.

[Hang And Bang]

This looks amazing on every level. Glad SFGAm got something substantial finally! And that it's in comparative spitting distance to me as this year's other big new coasters. Definitely hitting Chicago next year!

[FeelTheFORCE]

Looks like a great coaster! It will be weird calling the ride X-Flight, though.

[Golfie]

FINALLY, all of us near SFGam have been waiting for a decent roller coaster since Superman: Ultimate Flight in 2003. Not only is this a newer ride concept, but the layout is well-done and not ridiculously short (sometimes the case with new ride technologies).

[Commando]

Hopefult this is short, sweet, and intense just like Batman the Ride is. If it is, it should be worth the 9 year wait.

[Ed Farmer]

FINALLY, all of us near SFGam have been waiting for a decent roller coaster since V2/Deja Vu in 2001.

 

Fixed

I'm just gonna give myself a big ole' pat on the back for figuring this out:

 

[harper83087]

^ HAHA that's kind of funny. It's like the lego people, take a top half and a bottom half and you have yourself a rider

[Commando]

^^Told you you're wrong. (Sorry for the consfusion I got post sniped0

 

I cant wait for this to be built. But I should get used to waiting because I will be waiting 2 or 3 hours for it.

Told you you're wrong.

 

Who specifically are you talking to? Because the general consensus on here was that it was going to be a wing rider.

[bejackso]

this coaster looks awesome.

[CoasterBone]

This ride is so sexy I'm a make love to it!

[BlueFireCoaster]

I'm just gonna give myself a big ole' pat on the back for figuring this out:

 

How is this different than any other post you make?

 

This ride looks AWESOME! Six Flags has really outdone themselves in 2012, and here's to hoping SFMM gets an X-Wing coaster (perhaps the tallest and fastest) sometime in the future to replace Deja Vu. B&M really hit the nail on the head with these new style of coasters, it's amazing how well they're working out for them!

[B&MIntaminGCI]

Wes was most likely talking about the two people in the Green Lantern rendering being the same people in the X-Flight rendering.

[Geauga Dog]

WOW! Six Flags has really stepped up the thrills this year and even though this was pretty much what we expected this to be I am very excited to finally have a wing coaster close to home. SFGAm is my favorite park in the chain and they really deserved this ride after the past few additions were lackluster.

 

So glad I'm about six hours from Gurnee.
