Coaster reviews

Fun Intensity

Honestly a pretty fun little coaster with some fairly intense spinning helices and decent pops of airtime. Simple but a good family coaster.

Airtimes First Drop Masterpiece

Six Flags Great America really has a hell of a lineup, and Raging Bull is most definitely part of it! Classic B&M hyper, amazingly well maintained, & I most definitely agree with the people comparing it to the mythical Shambhala at PortAventura Park in Spain. B&M excells once again! Wonderful ride that you'll want to go on again & again & again! Operations are fantastic! Don't skip!

Launch Layout Too short Capacity

Longest wait at Six Flags Great America by a mile. Flash Pass doesn't include it either. The day I went, Maxx Force was only operating one train that takes 3-4 minutes to dispatch 16 people. Expect 1-3 hours of wait time for a sub-30 second ride. Apart from that, it's phenomenal. Truly deserves the 4 stars. The records it breaks say enough. Fastest acceleration, inversion... The launch is insane (insanely loud as well...), and for once a launch actually serves for something! SFGAm definitely had limited space for the ride, as the brakes positioned at the end of the hill shows, but it still is an amazing coaster overall. Don't skip but also avoid the very long wait times... I recommend either buying a fast pass or wait until the line is under an hour 30 minutes long.

Theming Layout Headbanging Harness Tear it down!

Absolutely phenomenal theming & layout for Demon. That's it. That's the only thing this ride offers. You should admire it from far away & stop there. It genuinely HURTS. No wonder there's absolutely zero line & the trains usually leave with 2 or 3 people on them. Absolutely skip this if you don't want to have a headache for the rest of the day. Thankfully went on it last so the headache wasn't that big of a problem...

Inversions Fun Intensity

Superman: Ultimate Flight was my favorite ride at SFGAm! That pretzel loop alone gives this rollercoaster the 4.5 stars! It is SO fun, smooth and WOW is it intense!! Some people say it has nothing else to offer except the pretzel loop, I disagree. The overall layout is fantastic, and the pretzel loop is the cherry on top. Skipping Superman: Ultimate Flight should be a crime. Never do that!! Operations aren't the best on this ride, quite a bummer, but if you have the unlimited fast pass (lucky you...!) definitely go so many times!!!

Inversions Nice surprise! Fun

Batman: The Ride was really nice! Located in the DC area, it is my first inverted coaster. Didn't expect much but those dang inversions are crazy! Operations are fine. Get ready to have a blast, do not think of skipping the world's first ever inverted coaster!

Lap Bar Inversions Comfort Theming

Aggressive ride with fantastic inversions with the mist tunnels & corkscrews being the highlight. I started seeing so many stars on those rolls so it isn't very marathonable at all, but still it's very very fun. Best restraints ever too, just wish they did more with the outdoor area. It would be so funny if you had a near miss with a clothesline that had shirts on it for example.

First Drop Smoothness Hangtime Too short

Amazing coaster, Sadly Its a clone. This coaster was meant for a board walk so it is to small for this park but being the first coaster in 17 years at darien lake its a great addition. This coaster is really smooth, great pacing, nice inversions, good hangtime, but a short layout. rightnow this coaster is 2 on my list of credits becuase i started being an enthusiast less than a year ago

Inversions Rattle Headbanging Harness

This ride absolutely beat me to a pulp when I rode this. The headbanging is nasty and jolts you suddenly against some of the worst restraints I've ever seen that feel as hard as concrete. The coaster is also very short, though I wanted this painful ride to be over as soon as possible. The only positive I can say is that the inversions were quite fun, but not enough for me to swear to never ride it again.

Launch Intensity Rattle

These impulse coasters are simple but a lot of fun. The initial launch on this has a great punch and the subsequent forwards and backwards launches give some great power as well. Both the forward and backwards twisted spikes give some pretty cool forces and having those right next to the beautiful beach is an amazing visual. It did have a bit of a rattle but it wasn’t enough to kill the ride for me.
