I haven't been on Maxx Force, Sprocket Rockets or V2 yet, for various reasons (broken down, too old to ride kids coasters when it opened and too fat/terrified, in that order), but I've been on a couple no longer there when it was my home park, so my ranking is: #14: Shockwave: damn near gave me a concussion #13 Iron Wolf: between this ride and drinking too much Mountain Dew as a kid I probably can't have kids #12 Little Dipper #11 Dark Knight: I waited way too long opening year to realize it was a wild mouse coaster #10 Joker: I neither love nor hate free spins, they're kinda just there. Something I'd probably ride if it were a walk on #9 American Eagle: really loses points since I haven't seen it dueling in years #8 Demon: it was my first looping coaster, and it wasn't as bad as the other Arrow looper in the park (on another note did any other parks have multiple Arrow coasters with inversions besides Great America and Magic Mountain?) #7 Whizzer: Not only was the Whizzer my first coaster, but it's a damn good family ride to this day #6 Superman: a definite improvement over what was in that spot before, and better than any other flying coaster not made by B&M #5: Batman: I think if these weren't rightfully cloned enthusiasts would like this one better #4 Goliath: it's great but really quick and from my ride felt a little rougher than Viper, despite being almost 20 years younger #3 Viper: One of my favorite wooden coasters, and still really smooth for being built in the 90s. #2 X Flight: highly underrated, and the best wing coaster in the whole chain. The keyholes feel so much tighter than Gatekeeper or Thunderbird #1 Raging Bull. The first drop gives the best airtime on any ride that isn't 325 feet tall, and the twister section at the end is a legitimately solid way to end the ride, it's never been out of my top 3 coasters.

Mad respect to this ranking. While some of mine differ, I do agree with most of what you're saying about some of these. Raging Bull takes my top spot too as it was my first experience on a B&M hyper last summer and that first drop in the last row rocked my face off. Superman takes the #3 spot for me due to the strong force on my chest at the bottom of the pretzel loop. and X-Flight surprised me since watching POVs of it gave the impression it'd be forceless but it definitely wasn't.

Honestly for Maxx Force, I’d put it at 3. I got some amazing hang time from the first inversion, especially because the restraints are lap bars.

My GAm hot takes: 1. Demon is slept on. It's a sick night ride with all the lights popping, and the theme song on the way in makes it feel like a museum exhibit. I also have a soft spot for Arrow and I'm totally willing to play defense through those corkscrews because they just feel so bizarre. 2. V2 is a one-rider. I get bored on impulses, and after the first launch I'm ready to be done--in fact I haven't been on in like a decade. Maxx Force is almost that category for me but the launch being that aggro makes it more worthwhile. 3. American Eagle is well past the end of its life. Any ride gathering as much algae as AE is should probably be on the way out. Viper's the better woodie. 4. The roughness help make Viper and Goliath what they are. Guess I'm into getting banged up. 5. Fuck I love Demon.

I do love Raging Bull's twister layout though, and if it actually had solid airtime combined with the strong forces it would rank a lot higher. I also find Superman flyers to be insanely overrated and an absolute snoozefest. Outside of the pretzel loop, I could literally fall asleep the rest of the ride it's so boring and uneventful. X-Flight was pretty disappointing. I think the layout could be fun, but the old vest restraints kill it for me. I either have to ride defensively by bench pressing the vest, or feel like your suffocating. Either way is physically exhausting.

This is a very fair ranking and many would mostly agree with you as I do. Many enjoy Viper a lot more than I do and your list is quite good.

I just have a question for anyone who can help 😂 I’m terrified of roller coasters but only because I cannot handle the stomach drop feeling. Is there any six flags great America coasters that have very little of this feeling ? 😅

I think you will be able to enjoy Sprocket Rockets, Little Dipper, and The Whizzer.

I get season passes every year to Great America! My top 2 are Raging Bull and Goliath as well. Goliath only takes 2nd bc it's so short. I agree with Maxx Force too. WAY too short of a ride.
@ThemeParkAvenue Жыл бұрын
Awesome that you get to enjoy the park so often. That top 2 is really fun and unique.

I have been going to great america since I was 5. My dad first took me there, and I was obsessed and still are. I wish yankee harbor was still there but I’m fine with DC UNIVERSE. I did go twice in 2022, after not going for 2 1/2 years from COVDID-19. My favorite has to be Raging Bull, it’s enjoyable for what it is and therefore my fav, it’s smooth and awesome. SIX FLAGS IS THE BEST!!

It’s a crime to rank Batman that low. It’s the only acceptable clone in existence.
@ThemeParkAvenue2 жыл бұрын
It is a truly great ride, but it’s at #6 because Great America has so many great coasters. To put it in perspective, Batman the Ride is my #4 at Magic Mountain.

LOL my first time on Superman my car keys fell out! Luckily I saw them land on a platform and the employees got them for me. The ride sucks except for the pretzel loop tho Also, I'm shocked to hear you say Goliath was rough. When I last rode in 2016 it was smooth as glass. Probably got bumpy over time. Agreed that raging bull is #1. It's phenomenal. XFlight sucks tho. Slow and boring

This is my home park and from riding both Goliath and raging bull countless times I can confidently say that Goliath is the better of the two, while it is shorter I believe the pure intensity and fun factor of the ride helps it edge out raging bull

Unpopular opinion. But raging bull is my number 3 here. First drop is great on it. But you don't get the sense of speed throughout the entire second half that you do on most hypers. I do understand that it has a different type of layout than other hypers but it almost seems to have an identity crisis lol.

That’s totally fair. I am under the impression that I like it more than a lot of people.

It’s a great ride, I just find others to be better. At most other Six Flags parks American Eagle would definitely be top 5. Remember I ride the blue side.
