I'm starting to wonder if this park is run by Luigi. Getting records by doing absolutely nothing.

[@lumarc5513]

lol

[@DaveysWonderfulWorld]

As a local Chicagoan I am proud to have this as my home park it’s a place that still holds a lot of great rides some history and is one of the luckiest theme parks in the entire world and I will always adore taking family trips there for years to come 🥰🥰🥰

[@EllieEdits]

Opening tomorrow 😜

[@Insert_Name_Here007]

Same

[@mitchellries256]

This park clearly puts the Great in Great America.

[@Kittyhat]

Neither maxx force nor stealth run to their advertised stats though lol. maxx force hasn't gone full power for the public since like 2020

[@Wdast]

Stealth does run to its advertised stats, maxx doesn’t.

[@Jake-1234]

Stealth does

[@porkryne72]

Stealth had to make it go faster to reduce roll backs I heard. I only saw maxx roll back one time

[@sportsMike87]

Prove it

[@RollerCoasterThoosie]

Stealth at Thorpe Park in the UK has a 0-80 mph launch in 1.8 seconds

[@WolfRaging95]

This park has a really nice collection of coasters. A little bit of everything and that’s what I love about my home park.

[@porkryne72]

Absolutely. Looking at other six flags parks, we are extremely lucky to have the collection of coasters even if they are only 3000 feet long. Some parks are lucky to an s&s free spin. 2012 x flight 2014 goliath 2017 joker 2019 maxx force (I thought this was a joke when I saw the animation on announcement day in 2018)

[@WolfRaging95]

@@porkryne72 absolutely! I think more is coming for us as well. They seem to be doing a lot of land clearing and changing things around.

[@toyoracer33]

Letting the world fall apart around it lol

[@airtimeaddict]

Stealth is faster than Maxx Force (0-80 in 1.8secs)

[@lavishoutcxst5183]

They got proven wrong bc they lied about it😭

[@CoastinWithMax]

Stealth at Thorpe park has proven to do 0-80 in 1.8 seconds soooo (Beat that America)

[@porkryne72]

1.9 but yes still faster than maxx

[@harrisoncrooks7085]

Just to clarify maxx force dosent own the record for fastest accelerating coaster stealth does😮

[@delook983]

It's an ongoing debate, no one can really agree on one or the other

[@adamcoles4156]

Stealth at Thorpe park uk beats out max force 0-80 in 1.8 secs :)

[@DaanBruins]

Brits: Imma end this man's whole career.

SFGAm wasn't lucky to get the first major Intamin coaster in 12 years after Green Lantern First Flight, which is the Georgia Surfer at SFOG

[@huntzzio]

Raaa lets go sfogggg

[@hubertberrum6242]

glad that this is my home park, fun fact they've been using the Looney Tunes characters as mascots since Day One(wish they have a proper Looney Tunes area again)

[@coastercaz]

Stealth has the acceleration record now

[@Scalybower]

Stealth: 0-80 in 1.8 seconds Clearly the faster acceleration so Stealth holds that record

[@Subscribetonotnyournormalguy]

It takes 1.9 seconds

[@Scalybower]

@@Subscribetonotnyournormalguy it doesn't. RCDB is outdated and the official stats are exactly what I sent

[@porkryne72]

Fine but maxx still holds fastest acceleration in the nation

[@VECTOR_Coasters]

in terms of advertised speed you are correct but in terms of actual speed then maxx force is faster

[@huntzzio]

@@VECTOR_CoastersIts not advertised speed, its the actual speed, they sped it up so that it wouldnt roll back

[@DJWezzyK]

Thorpe Park claimed the record and even advertises with it now.

[@themedup]

Actually Stealth at Thorpe Park is the fastest accelerating coaster in the world.

No it’s not Maxx force is faster!

[@tigerrocks503chase8]

My home park has quieted down on the investments since the pandemic but we really have been spoiled rotten. I also respect the park a ton for saving my childhood coaster Little Dipper as it was my first true roller coaster and I used to gonto Kiddieland all the time before they sadly shut down forever. ❤️ 🇺🇸

[@Sonic-gy7kq]

Brooooo same here. I road this ride at kiddieland before it was moved. Still have my Kiddieland ticket. Crazy one day we just got it for no apparent reason. Great addition with tons of history.

[@js1198]

Which ones open more, lightning rod or Goliath? That’s what I thought

[@Kieben1112]

It’s actually joint first stealth at Thorpe park hose 0-80 in 1.8 seconds

[@Hairydryer_Hairdryerxoxo]

Isn’t stealth 0-80 in 1.8 so don’t they have to record?

I've only been able to go to this park once on my life, but it was a great visit. Raging Bull was a blast and Batman is a classic! I have to ask, Airtime Thrills, will you be heading back to Busch Gardens Williamsburg anytime soon? I'm not sure if you've heard since last year, but Loch Ness Monster is opening up in May from an extensive refurbishment that has refreshed portions of the old track for a smoother experience, added 900 feet of brand new track, and added brand new theming elements that hint at apparently getting to actually see the monster on the ride in some form, seemingly in the mountain!

[@CaboSan1]

My home park 💪

[@jasbas459]

My home park!!! Still try to go at least once a year. My daughter is going with her graduating class to Six Flags great America on a weekday I’m so jealous she’s going to get on so many rides because the park will be empty that early the season on a weekday. I just hope all the rides are open!!

[@colestaal5686]

This is my home park and I couldn't care less about records. I just want full length quality coasters. Hopefully that happens with the merger.

[@Sonic-gy7kq]

Yeah everythings short, but when u ride a 100 ft, 3 minute long RMC... you start appreciating Goliath A LOT more.

No it’s not😊

I hope they replace Superman with something better. It's an alright coaster but has a lot of down time

[@CosterRush]

They aren't going to if it's getting a 2 hour line on a weekday

[@askjeevescosby2928]

I really hope six flags gets gravity group to fix up american eagle. You know they would steepen the first drop and sharpen out the airtime hills.

[@edt-ze3ke]

They can actually do that. Gravity Group retracked GASM cuz of how unbearably rough it was

[@tdcamp03]

We need a new age vekoma

[@Suntan330]

Lightning Rod is in Dollywood. Wtf dude.

[@MarsJenkar]

I'm pretty sure he was trying to say, "Goliath at SFGA held the record, then it was broken by Lightning Rod at another park, but because Lightning Rod is no longer a wooden roller coaster, Goliath now has that record back."

[@Mr._Kagle]

You aren't wrong, but this is my home park, so I'll take the W.

[@davidnevolo4402]

Love this park they need a b and m giga or a mack hyper or an rmc american eagle or all three though and a better landscape architect. Hmu 🤙

[@acidalex420]

Actually the fastest accelerating coaster in the world is Stealth at Thorpe park not Max force :p

[@Nascarfan1896]

This debate is going to lead to another war between the US and UK😭

[@imnotaddicted_to_coasters]

Maxx force is just barely faster because it’s 0-78 in 1.8 seconds but Stealth is 0-80 in 1.9 seconds, but the difference is so small they may as well be tied.

[@OppyThePancake]

Stealth is 1.8

[@avg1005]

@@OppyThePancakebro actually believes stuff from a company that made people sign waivers for an intamin family coaster

[@douglaspantz]

Stealth doesn’t hit that number during operation, only during testing

[@Jag2112707]

I'm sorry but Six Flags Over Texas has to be one of the unluckiest parks. There have been no major rides in the last couple of years horrible customer service and an outdated layout.

[@HugeRMCFanBoY-bx3od]

Im pretty sure over texas is 100% developed that might be a reason also

[@craigauclair4026]

Dollywood opened Wild Eagle before Six Flags Great America, making Dollywood with the first Wing Coaster in America. Defunct or not, Maxx Force will never hold a candle to how fast Do-dodonpa got to it's top speed. For wooden coasters, the fastest was set by Son of Beast at 78mph, even if it is defunct now.

[@AirtimeThrills]

Thats why i said they helped usher in the wing and hyper, they werent the first but they did open theirs the same year it debuted

[@fo-ef8qo]

I got six flagged so hard there last summer. viper and Goliath were great and got a bunch of other credits, paid $20 just to wait 90 minutes for Maxx Force. this is an unresolved customer service issue

[@trash_frog]

Stealth at thorpe accelerates faster

[@Subscribetonotnyournormalguy]

No it does not, stealth takes 30 seconds to get to one mile per hour because it is so slow😂😂😂😂😂😂 you just got wrecked kids!😂😂

[@trash_frog]

@@Subscribetonotnyournormalguy if it takes 30 seconds to get to 1mph it goes 1 to 79 in -28.1 seconds still making it the fastest

Kings island????

The reccord for fastest accelerating coaster is stealth, it does 0-80 in 1.8 so it's faster

[@jamesferguson448]

I was about to say it but you got there first

That’s not true at all stealth should be the record for the slowest acceleration, Maxx force is way faster!!!!!! Stop the cap kids😂

[@porkryne72]

@HugeRMCFanBoY-bx3od what stinks is b&m is starting to follow suit as well. The wing riders, the new stand-up coaster even the family coasters

[@Sonic-gy7kq]

Its my home park... I am still baffled we got maxx force. The first air launch (powder keg a 1 off joke basically) in nearly 20 years?! Like why SFGAm lol it makes sense but as an enthusiast since I was born (legit been to this park since I was 3 w/ season pass)... were very spoiled. Only difference between this and dragster is that dragster was much longer and more intense, but this is a very close second. Hydraulic is more rough acceleration while air is smoother.

[@Amusementnational]

Stealth at thorpe park ( uk ) holds the world record for fastest acceleration not max force.

[@Subscribetonotnyournormalguy]

Maxx force gets to the top speed faster. Look it up on the internet

[@markpatchett3542]

Think youll find Stealth at Thorpe Park is faster.......
