Rob's Unoffical Six Flags Great America Website

This is the same coaster type ride that is installed in Six Flag's Ohio. It starts out buy launching the 28 person train 65 MPH in 4 seconds up 2/3 of the vertical Heartrole, then gravity pulls it back throught the station and up about 2/3 of the way on the rear vertical. Then back through the station to within 10 feet of the top and then back up the read vertical and halts for 2 seconds, then back through the station and up the front vertical , then back to the station.

5/12/2001 Locked in the stright section. This tower sways for about 2 minutes after the ride ends. it is pretty freaky to see a 185' tower of steel sway.

5/12/2001 I heard fro a relaible source that the park is now shooting for May 26th to open this ride (it seems to be moved back another week, but no official date from the park yet). Also the Whirligig is a stump in front of Batman, but some of the parts are around it so it should be done shortly after Memorial Day also (hopefully it weill be repainted. Bat Mobile is back, next to the where the swings will be.
