When the American Eagle was built, it was the longest, tallest, and fastest wooden rollercoaster in the world.

[@TheRealEricMitchell]

You don't say

[@ihatezilla8187]

No wayyyy

[@Ndumbacher]

I think that the beast was the longest wooden rollercoaster

[@davidmcaninch4714]

oops buddy it was and still is. 7,359 ft of track. If someone ever made a Hall of Fame for roller coasters, it would be in it

[@thatfordguy2268]

Oops buddy is correct, That title was held by "The Beast" at King's Island" opened in 1979. It is still the longest The "Goliath" at 6 Flags Great America is the tallest. "American Eagle" was opened in 1981. The "Lightning Rod" at Dollywood is the fastest wooden roller coaster at 73 miles per hour. 😎

12:44 The first time I ever rode Batman The Ride was with a friend, we enjoyed it so much we immediately got back in the cue. Then for some reason, the line just vanished, and with no one else waiting, the operators just let us stay and ride it over and over. Unforgettable experience.

[@Depressedchicagosportsfan]

I bet, sounds 👌

[@wakeupclumsyold]

I was scared out of MY MIND but then I rode it and it was very cool

The thing about Great America's roller coasters is that you might be able to say that none of them are your favorite of their kind, but it's such an eclectic collection of coasters that any coaster enthusiasts would really enjoy this park.

If you have a little kid that doesn’t want to ride big rides get them on Little Dipper very back row you get that stomach feeling and some airtime that will get them ready for bigger rides

All the people who miss Kiddieland after it closed in 2009. That park was way closer to Chicago and cheaper than Great America. I had to go to Great America for a senior high school trip.

the superman is one of the best roller coaster i riden.. i loved it ...

[@ShowMeCoasters]

i dont hate superman ultimate flight but it is my least favorite b&M

[@edgetaker]

I liked Turn of the Century before they made it The Demon...had great air time on the hills before the 2 corkscrew turns at the end. American Eagle opened in 1981 and still holds some records for racing coasters, and agree, it's gotten pretty rough over the years.

[@cinemaidol]

Three correcfions: American Eagle remains the Worlds Tallest and longest racing coaster. In addition it has the longest drop on a wooden coaster as it goes 20 feet into the ground. X-Flight is 3000 feet long not 2000 feet Raging Bull is not themed after the Chicago Bulls. It is themed after a southwestern bull (hence the coaster is located in the southwest territory and is painted the way it is)

[@sharkmanxbro7082]

FACT

[@bmezay6211]

also super Larson loop is not a COASTER

[@Somecallmetimm]

@@bmezay6211 they clarify that they dont count it as a coaster, but six flags always does so they respect that and put it in the video

[@awefawn7793]

Grace LiVe its in the kiddy section, right next to goliath. its always been there as long as i can remember.

[@samplautz5586]

Goliath has the longest drop on a wooden coaster....... and even if you are talking about traditional wooden coasters it's El Toro. American Eagle has the 10th longest drop of wooden coasters in the world.

[@melsoderlund3379]

It was nice when the public rallied to save The Whizzer!

[@ntenpc]

I was advocating for the whizzer to be torn down in 2000. It's really not that great of a ride experience.

[@pkmoments]

I grew up a mile away from this park got season passes every year. Pro tip: ride the bull in the back. Whips pretty good especially on the bunny hop. Also rip deja vu! I was finally tall enough the year before they took it down, only got to ride it once.

[@carloscastaneda4643]

Were u that girl that we sat next to on ragging bull go on my channel and tell me if u recognize me

[@limeycheesehead97]

Raging Bulls is my favorite. The front seat is best, as you can just raise your hands and feet and it feels like you're flying.

[@StasherDragon]

Yeah, the minimal restraint lets you feel so free.

[@Lily-bs2me]

I went on the joker. The girlfriend from the teenage couple across from me started crying before the ride started. When the ride was over the boyfriend was also crying. I was dead silent the whole time cuz I thought I was gonna die.

[@Succer]

First time I went on Joker it caught me off guard. That thing pulls you SOOO hard.

[@StamfordBridge]

Nice video! Personally, I’d put Whizzer and the woodies a bit higher. I’ve ridden almost all the B&M hypers in North America, and they’re all great fun, including Raging Bull, which is awesome and well worth marathoning. It certainly has gotten some exaggerated criticism over the years, IMO.

[@ShowMeCoasters]

I agree all the b&m hypers are great fun

[@Somecallmetimm]

The whizzer was my first big coaster growing up that was in 1988 I was 12 and I loved it

[@wisemysticaltree4799]

One of my favorite memories I've ever had was just a few days ago on the raging bull. I was with three of my friends and we waited for front seated. The son was almost down and the wind was blinding us. WE had so much fun and so many laughs that day.

[@ariannasoto1294]

i can wait for it to open!! i personally have only rode viper, American eagle & demon but I went to Holiday World just this last summer and pretty much got over my fear of roller coasters so I’m really excited to go to great America this summer, im also really happy my state has a six flags hahah

[@jamiepastman5594]

saving the Little Dipper was a great move by Six Flags. Hell, I would have bought it for 30 k if I knew, what a bargain! Also, years ago The Demon had this goofy song playing about how scary it is while you stood in line. It used to crack up me and my buddies

[@erwinfelis4613]

"... a mirrored ride of Cyclone at Coney Island." That explains why I found both of these rides to be so jarring. I swear my rib cage hurt after riding both of these coasters.

[@lukavandergraaf8669]

If a ride is completely motorised it isn’t a coaster. The goal of a coaster is to create thrills with just the power of gravity

[@frankorandle]

The Whizzer Speedracer roller coaster has motors on the trains and uses them on the electrified spiral lift hill then it uses gravity after that.

[@Maddog-eo9ud]

I miss going to amusement parks

[@jellyspinner]

before goliath was the iron wolf... i loved that ride because i was short enough to not get my head banged around!

[@UnknownRaven0]

Iron wolf>Goliath

[@teesonethongkham1042]

Folks we put the wrong Superman on the video, we made this video 2 in the morning. We accidentally use the superman from Georgia. Last year's version we had the right superman on. We had to reboot this because another youtuber claim that we use his videos of Batman The ride. If you follow us all our ride videos has time stamped on it.

Good list. I have yet to make it to this park but will this coming season I'm pretty sure. I have to admit that the Whizzer is actually one of my top 20 more anticipated coasters. I am happy that the campaign to keep it from being torn down actually worked. We have to preserve all of the Schwarzkopfs that we can these days. Just a bit of opinion but a good rule of thumb should be that a cloned wild mouse never be higher on a coaster list than a Schwarzkopf. EVER!!! hahaha Good stuff. thanks for posting.

I'm on a mission to ride as many Schwarzkopfs as I can this coming year. Just made it on Scorpion, Colossus (Jet Star 2 was closed when I went to Lagoon) And Shockwave in SFOT. I'm so bummed!

Short rides seems to have been a thing at Great America. Might be a ride per hour thing they were interested in.

[@keltonhoudek125]

After the Cork screw the turn I just call this ride the brain damage ride because after that corkscrew the turn bangs my brother’s head at least what he said.

[@digiprez77]

Man I haven't been in a while... Must be ten years because I rode the Iron Wolf the last time I was there, it was always my favorite. Checked it out and glad to see it still operates somewhere. Goliath looks awesome! I feel like Raging Bull is impressive but pretty tame. Goliath looks pretty scary. Proud to say I have ridden the Eagle backwards, don't know if they do that anymore. One of my favorite days of all time was a field trip to Great America when I was in 10th grade... I grew up some that day lol. The whole park was full of unsupervised teenagers from the surrounding areas. Kids were getting wasted on the bus before we even got there. It was glorious chaos.

[@supaslim]

Goliath is short, but absolutely terrifying. Endless ride up the lift hill to give you plenty of time to regret your life choices, then you round the top, and keep rounding it because the drop is somehow steeper than you realize- more regret- and then it's pretty much a vertical drop that about gave me a heart attack. Not to mention you only get a lap bar as you're flung and flipped- I forgot to take my glasses off my first ride and had the terrifying experience of clutching them to my face with one hand and CLINGING to the lap bar with the other because it felt truly dangerous (whether it was or wasn't). That coaster feels like it'll eject you any second. Absolutely thrilling! A little sad that it's so short, but it was built specifically to fill that empty space, so I think they did a great job with what they had.

[@jcjenson47]

my dad also rode the eagle backwards lol

[@swimmer1262]

Dark knight was my first coaster. I was little at the time and I absolutely hated it. The turns whipped me around so much- rip

Ive road everything on great america and I think all the coasters are really fun

[@johnsheppard6435]

Fo the Eagles 40th they should have RMC come in and IBOX the track and replace the coaster cars. No need to re invent it. It would be so much smoother and probably pick up at least 10 mph or more.

[@krist6687]

The Eagle was always rough , and it opened in 81 , I have been going to GA since 1976 when it opened for the bicentennial , and Tidal Wave was a much better coaster then vertical velocity , also viper was a rough ride to , Gurnee is 45 mins from Chicago ( where I live and born and raised ) but the weather with rain and cold depending does affect these rides !! But they are all my fav except for the ring of fire aka Mardi Gras hangover that’s what that is

The Wizzer was my first coaster in 1977! My boyfriend, now husband of 27 years, had never ridden a coaster with a loop before, so I took him on the Demon. He really enjoyed it. I remember when The Eagle debuted. The lines stretched nearly back to the Demon! I road Batman the Ride, I was terrified! Many moons ago, the had a very fun coaster called Z-force that was short, but a blast to ride! The one that came next, was a stand-up coaster called, Iron Wolf. This was a favorite of mine. I would stand a bit slack-kneed so when the harness locked in place I would be floating. It was so amazing to just close my eyes and feel like I was flying. :) Thanks so much for this! I have not been able to ride coasters due to degenerative disease for nearly 20 years. It brought back a lot of wonderful memories. Keep riding!
