If adrenaline is your thing, then come experience the awesome thrill rides and coasters that will leave your heart pounding! The family and kids rides are fun for all sizes and are sure to leave the whole family smiling. When you want to just sit back relax and be entertained, catch an always exciting and entertaining show. Plus don’t forget to take your camera as you’ll have the change to get up and close and personal with Looney Tunes and Justice League characters!

And when you want to take a break from the rides, head on over to Hurricane Harbor and soak up the pools, slides and water fun. Best of all the water park is included in the price of admission, so you get two parks for the price of one!

These are some of my favorite rides:

• Superman: Ultimate Flight – Really feels like you’re flying and is a bit different than the standard coaster being you are horizontal.  The loops and spirals are amazing!
• Vertical Velocity – Launches you 70 mph in less than 4 seconds! Pure speed flying up and down.  If you’re into huge drops at crazy speeds going both forward and backward, this is the ride for you.
• Iron Wolf – Awesome old school stand up coaster that still has the power to make you scream. The 90 foot drop is worth the ride.
• Raging Bull – One of the best rides here. It is the park’s tallest, fastest and longest coaster. Raging Bull is super smooth in comparison to most of the other coasters.  With fast, huge drops and quick turns, this is a lot of fun. A definite must ride!
• American Eagle – Classic Wooden Coaster that has been here for more than 25 years. It has a huge drop with a corkscrew in between.  Provides a great bird’s eye view of the park.
• Viper – Voted one of the top 10 coasters in the country by USA Today. This ride is known for it’s great gut wrenching drops, 11 of them in all. High banking turns and an 80 foot drop make the Viper a winner.

So head on over to Six Flags Great America and take it all in. Use one of the many ticket discounts and save a ton of money on the price of admission. There truly is something for everyone to enjoy here and it’s a great way to spend a summer day.
