3X THE FUN Triple…read morePlay is located in Hometown Square in between the train station and the season pass processing center. The ride opened in 1976 and was manufactured by HUSS Rides. It is also known as a Trokia, which means 'group of three' in Russian. The Triple Play has three arms extending out from a center column. Each of these cars can seat up to two people and are located at the end of every arm in a circle. Now the fun begins when the operator turns on the ride. The center column rotates in a clockwise motion while the cars located at the end of the arms rotate in a counterclockwise motion. I am getting dizzy just thinking about this ride and let's not forget the sweeping motion of the ride as it goes up and down. You will also notice a slight rocking motion of the car from side to side. Now my description sounds a lot worse then the ride actually is. In fact, this ride is quite mild. It is a great beginner ride for your little one as you slowly work your kids up to bigger and faster coasters. This is another one of those rides that I have ridden on as a child and with my child. It is always fun to share these childhood memories. The line may look long but it moves fast. If I do my math correctly 21 cars times 2 people means 42 people can potentially ride at one time. I also feel that many people miss this ride because it is tucked in the corner. Make sure to do not wait until the end of the night to ride this because it will shut down early to accommodate the evening stage show and the nightly parade. You have been warned. My little one loves this ride and it is always fun to ride with her on it. She laughs and giggles. It always cracks me up when she asks me to hold on to her. This ride only has a metal lap bar and it does feel like you might fly out as the ride goes into it's dropping motion. I was curious as to how many of these rides still exist. I was able to find out in the USA, there are at least eight Troikas in operation and they are located at Cedar Point, Palace Playland, Kings Island, Elitch Gardens, Kings Dominion, Fun Spot Amusement Park, Six Flags Great America, and Six Flags Over Texas. So get on board this classic Trokia ride and feel the spin.

It's a fun ride as far as "spin and puke's" go...It is one that is just the right intensity that…read morethrills the entire family but isn't too intense.

Carousel Columbia and Columbia Carousel are a pair of double decker carousels at Six Flags in…read moreCalifornia and Illinois. The carousel in California is the tallest carousel in the world at 101 feet and the one at Six Flags Great America is the second tallest at 100 feet. They were built almost 50 years ago on 1976. Each of the horses and animals is a replica of a famous carved carousel animal. The paintings reflect American history. When I visited Six Flags Great America with my daughter, I told her that this is how we should end our day of riding rollercoasters and that is exactly what we did. Climbed the stairs to the second level. Then chose a row of jumping horses and we were on our way. Such a great way to end the day at Six Flags Great America.

Six Flags Great America is filled with rollercoasters. In DC Universe, you can find rides and…read morerollercoasters that are Superhero and Super-Villain themed. Loved The Flash, The Joker and the DC Super-Villains Swing. Next time would check out Batman, but not on a day when the wait is 90+ minutes. Surprised that none of the rollercoasters that we went on had photo ops.

A drop that is more than vertical. Speed of up to 67 MPH. A definite adrenaline rush. Interestingly, I heard about this ride the day before we went to Six Flags from a grad student that I met at a mindful meditation class. He said that it was one of the top rollercoasters that he had been on. I agree! A great way to start a day of riding rollercoasters at Six Flags Great America.

This line is not for thrill seekers, it's more for children, people into slow coasters and people who love historical rides. The Little dipper is basically 2 figures 8's going at a slow pace. Definitely a ride to check out. Too bad they train wasn't preserved even though six flags has one.

A wooden coaster for the kiddos but adults can fit in the seats as well. Reminds me of the American Eagle but scaled down. I recommend this for kids ages 5 and under. If you're older than 5 years old you should take your butt to ride the Whizzer at least. Anyways, it still goes pretty fast so I guess that's why it's still entertaining.

Are you brave enough to face the Goliath? If you are, then the hour long wait that you are…read moreprobably going to go through will definitely pay off at the end. What makes this coaster take my breath away (literally at times) is the fact that all you have is a frickin lap belt and no harness. There's not really even anything to hold on to except for this little loop on your seat belt. And i dont think its even made for that. I just tried finding anything that I can wrap my hands on to feel somewhat secure before conquering this giant of a coaster. And yes, although only being secured by a measley lap belt, you go upside down in loops. So the only thing holding you in to your seat other than that lap belt is pure G-force. That first drop is all that. Its the steepest one here at the park at an 85 degree angle and you are going at it at such a high speed! Pure adrenaline rush for you junkies out there. Keep in mind that this is another wooden coaster here but so much smoother than that of the Viper and old man American Eagle. I believe this is the best roller coaster here at Six Flags and of course, my favorite. Try riding it at night and enjoy the view before that first 180 ft drop!

The structure for this coaster is crazy it's the first of the wood meets steal hybrids I've seen that had this type of inversion where you spend a good amount of time upside down as the hang time is just not seen anywhere else! Goliath doesn't let you down in anyway whatsoever at any point as the entire ride was smooth and just super enjoyable at every twist and turn to the point of which it feels like you are still riding the classic wooden coaster right until you see that next Hybrid inversion coming at you with a good amount of speed! The line for Goliath can get super long I say this as the day we came to the park it wasn't that busy so do make sure you hit this ride early! Goliath here is awesome and I'll be looking forward to riding it the next time I visit this radical park of Six Flags Great America!

Dear Hurricane Harbor, 7/31/26 I'm am…read moredeeply disappointed, and concerned with the service here at this water park. Specifically, Pink Flamingo Café. First of all, on July 31st, between 11:19 - 11:30AM, I got my food. which were chicken tenders with waffle fries. I was furious when the worker asked me if I wanted sauce with my chicken tenders. Not because she asked me if I wanted it, but the selections she gave me. Ranch, Ketchup, and Barbecue sauce. Now, let me ask you, what kind of psychopath would put ranch on their chicken tenders? Your workers are obviously not the "smartest of the bunch". Adding on to this, as I sat down to eat my food, I picked up a waffle fry. As I was about to eat it, I noticed a moldy green substance on my fry. Now, I'm no genius, but the last time I checked, mold should not be served with waffle fries. Is this really what I paid for? I paid money, just to find out that my fries have mold on them. So since one had mold, like any other sane person would do, I checked if any others did. And I found several fries with mold on them. Now before I threw them out, since I already wasted my money, I tried to refund my fries, and they said no. Since when do you guys not except refunds? Instinctively, I checked the chicken tenders for any anomalies on them. And "shocker" I found a shard of glass on my chicken tenders. How the hell is this even possible?! You might as well hire a hitman to kill me at this point. I Highly recommend a contamination check on your restaurant Pink Flamingo Café. I would rather take a 6 month vacation the Epstein's Island, and after that live in North Korea for a year, than ever go to Hurricane Harbor again. I would rather be locked in a room with Jeffrey Dahmer, and P. Diddy than ever go to Hurricane Harbor again. And finally, id rather jump of the Empire State Building tied to the most annoying girl I know, while Taylor swift is playing. Also, you might want to preform an IQ check on your employee's. And please fire whoever hired these monsters. Now whatever you do, do not fire this one guy that I met at Pink Flamingo Café, we're chill, because he called me tuff. List of other complaints I have: The water slides aren't even fun The bathrooms smell like shi I have to carry this bulky ahh tube up endless flights of wooden stairs There was a girl who said she liked me and then started stalking me My rating: 0/10 I'm never going there again I highly recommend turning around if this place is in a mile radius of you. In conclusion, Hurricane Harbor genuinely sucks P.S. you better make some changes to this so-called "water park", because I spent way to much time writing this full on novel. your lucky I'm too lazy to sue you And one more thing, if I could swear in this review, your whole organization would run out of business in a day lil bro Oh and one last thing, I HAVE 3 WITNESSES OF THE INCIDENT, SO DO NOT TRY TO ACT LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED Sincerely, You don't deserve to know my name.
