There are so many different rides at Six Flags Great
America. Listed below are a couple
of my personal favorite rides that I think you will all enjoy too. I’m not too crazy about large drops or
big turns so these rides are a little easier on your stomach if you feel the
same way about roller coasters. I
enjoy riding the rides for a little excitement, rather than to feel like I’m
going to reach my death in the near future. Check out these rides and see if they are more fit for your
style as well.
The Superman is one of the most fun and exciting rides at Six Flags
Great America, in my mind. You can take a trip on the Ultimate Flight for an
unparalleled flying experience. For this ride you lie face-down and soar
head-first through a twisted steel track. At the end of the ride you dive into
highly banked curves, spirals, and a pretzel-shaped inverted loop. Experience the sensation of flight. Soar from the top of the ride down to a
ground-level loop. Climb the steep "horseshoe"
curve and high-speed spiral, then tumble down a 360-degree in-line roll.

The Dark Knight Coaster is a new ride
that I haven’t been able to try out this year yet. It claims to transforms guests into citizens of Gotham City
— caught in the middle of a city under seige and torn apart by The Joker.
From what I have heard and read about, its an fun experience the ride of their lives. Venturing through demented hallways of twists, turns and hallucinatory images, they are tormented by The Joker himself. Then as they set foot onto a distressed, vandalized train platform, they can only guess at what awaits them as they speed through six 180-degree hairpin turns, climb unseen hills, plunge into pitch darkness and dip into unforeseen danger.
