There are 23 Six Flags throughout
the World, most of which are in the United States. Today's blog post will be
reviewing one of the best Six Flags amusement parks, Six Flags Great America.
Great America is located in Gurnee, IL and opened in 1976. Great America is
home to 9 roller coasters. The favorite roller coaster for many years would
have to be Raging Bull. It is a Western theme steel coaster. With a max speed
of 73 mph it is a perfect ride to put your hands up. I will say that this ride
generally has a long line. It is always usually at least an hour long, which in
my opinion sums up Great America in general. This amusement park always has
long lines no matter when you go. This is weird since its closest sister park,
Six Flags St. Louis generally has short lines.
Great
America’s most recent addition was Goliath in 2014. This is a wooden hybrid
coaster that actually goes up-side down. This is the craziest wooden coaster I have
ever been on, racing at a speed of 72 mph. The only down fall is that it is
only a 180 foot drop. Other coasters
there include, Superman, Batman, Demon, Viper, American Eagle, X-Flight,
Vertical Velocity. This park also
includes Hurricane Harbor waterpark, so guests can cool down during those hot
summer days.
To
summarize Six Flags Great America, I would say it is a little pricey for the
amount of wait time you will experience. Season Passes are great if you plan on
going for more than one day at of the operating season. In contrast, the park
is very clean and everyone is very helpful. My recommendation is to buy tickets
online or find coupons that you can bring to the gate to purchase tickets.
Flash Pass is available too which may be beneficial if you don’t like lines
like I do. Definitely a park to give a try though!
