    Launch Pace Fun Too short

    This launch coaster is awesome! You start off with a launch which is soooooo good. You go up into a weird turn around that is hard to describe. Then you go into an inversion that causes me to grey ou...

    It's a very fun ride, I just find it super short for the wait times.

    Would be a good ride if it lasted longer than 23 seconds. Waited an hour for this!

    Well, it's definitely a good launch. Not much else to say, really.

    This is the coaster that helped me break free of being afraid of coasters, so I have to give it credit. Memories aside, this coaster is REALLY fun. The launch is exhilarating, and a little scary, but ...

    Fun, powerful launch and some fun inversions, but is just too short for it to be complete ride.

    Phenomenal launch! The sound of the air compressed launch is pretty awesome! Every time it sounds like an artillery cannon going off!

    Yes, the launch is insane, and perhaps the most intense I've ever been on, but the ride is just way too short. The strata coasters got away with their brief duration by having an equally intimidating ...

    one of the most insane coasters i've ever been on. crazy launch and super intense inversions. definitely short, but it's so good that i don't mind that.

    Launch Pace Fun Too short

    Absolute gut punch of a launch. Zero G roll is an outstanding inversion, and the other ones are serviceable. A little short but that launch is worth it.

    It has a great first launch. The inversions are fun. The launch blew my breath away. It is one of my favorite roller coasters. I highly recommend you ride it.

    Much like Goliath, it took me until its third season to ride this. Once I did for the first time, I was blown away by the launch. The ride landed at #19 on my first-ever top 20 and official ranking li...

    Probably the most overrated ride here, the best part is the launch but after that the ride falls flat on its face and it's over in 10 seconds, good luck waiting an hour for this crap as the capacity i...

    Heart racing fun!! But another Great America ride that is way too short to justify the wait time. Even if you doubled the duration with another thrilling drop and inversion it’d be the shortest in the...

    I've ridden a dragster where you accelerate from 0-120 mph in 2.8 seconds. But the acceleration on Maxx Force just seems like the fastest I've ever experienced. The launch was intense and the ride is ...

    Compressed air launches are so addictive. Felt like my soul left my body during this one. If S&S ever figures out how to attach a satisfying layout to one of these it's over.

    Best launch I've been on so far! After the launch the rest of it is fun, but leaves a little on the table. Its super short. The seats are great.

    Incredible launch. Great layout too. The ride is over in what feels like 10 seconds after waiting in an extremely slow moving line due to bad capacity.

    Inversions Launch Smoothness Too short

    Fun ride the beginning of the launch is great but wish the launch force lasted a bit longer. The inversions are very well thought out with some nice hang time. The only con really is it’s too short.

    SFGA is my home park and this ride always has the longest lines. It's very disappointing because the ride is super short and isn't very fun. Really the only fun part about it is the first launch, but ...

    Lap Bar Inversions Launch Too short

    The launch is so powerful it feels like your soul is still in the station by the time the ride is done. The inversions are great, especially the last one.

    A fun alternative to a normal launch coaster. Launches smooth and fast, though it already lost some steam before the dig tounge. A short ride with a good layout, but it much of layout is underwhelming...

    Inversions Launch Intensity Too short Capacity

    Capacity is a big problem for Maxx Force, as I had to wait 45 minutes for this on a decently quiet day. (The longest line I had before it was 20 minutes, with most being around 5-10 minutes) The ride ...

    Nothing will ever compare to the strength and intensity of this launch. It feels like you are being rear ended by a bus and the driver isn’t stopping. So fast your brain doesn’t have time to process w...
