Six Flags Great America Trip Report

[rubixsmike]

More Flags=More Fun?

Finally here!

We hit X Flight First because it was brand new and we didn't want to wait in the long lines

The line was actually only 15 minutes, not bad for Six Flags!

My Turn!

Probably one of my favorite coasters in the park. You just cant beat a good B&M!

The new X shop.

X flight got in the way of my American Eagle shot

Car ride from the que of American Eagle

Funnel cake tastes better at a theme park

This ride makes me want to puke just looking at it.....Or maybe it was just the funnel cake..

Coming to clean my vomit!! Nah, just kidding. They really are pushing that image of the "cleanest park in the world" though.

The black tarmac makes it 10 degrees warmer. Perfect conditions for a ride on Loggers Run!

Time to relax

You actually get some airtime in the back row!

A visit to Great America wouldn't be complete without a ride on the Whizzer!

As tempting as it was...we decided to save our and spend it on something else, so thanks but no thanks

We see you Sky Tower!

There was a cool model of GA in 1978 in the gift shop. I see Tidal Wave.

I don't know this just made me laugh for some reason. Sponsorship from Mike Ditka or something

Batman

Love the theming on this ride

These balloons are big and easy

That was a terrible caption

I personally think as a superhero Batman>Superman. As coasters, however.

You just can't beat this awesome ride!

One mess of track!

You just can't beat this awesome ride!

The mechanism that tilts the riders

Found this thing in the gift shop of Superman. It creeped me out.

Didn't take a picture of the outside of the Dark Knight coaster, so here's a blurry picture of the inside instead!

I'm a big fan of subway maps and roller coasters.

So I give this coaster 2 thumbs up!

Too bad this ride was closed

Random Demon Picture

TAKE THE TUNNEL!!

Now for my favorite coaster in the park!

The Que

The oh crap moment

Whee!!

Station Shot

Giant Drop time!

Theming!

When i first rode this I thought that little track was a kiddie coaster...true story!

This coast me .....

More money to spend on goodies! from saving my money instead of spending it on a second funnel cake!

I'll just end this update with a picture of the iconic double decker carousel. Thanks for reading my first update!

 

Decided to make my first trip report from Six Flags Great America when I went in August 2012. This is my first one so bear with me

Happy Riders
