Six Flags Great America Theme Park

Are you looking for a great thrill this summer? I know a great place you can find it. Six Flags Great American has some of the fastest, tallest, wildest, gut-wrenchingest, rides in the country-including a few record-breakers. I have listed below a couple of the rides and details about them so you can get a look at them before you venture to this exciting theme park.

The high-flying thrills of American Eagle make this wooden racing coaster a true
Six Flags classic for everyone of all ages. For the past 25 years, this double-tracked coaster has given passengers a vast, eagle's-eye view of the park before careening down a 147-foot drop. This is a great ride for adults and older children looking for an exciting thrill ride with numerous large drops

Batman the ride is another great experience to be had at Six Flags Great America.  It takes you through the Gotham City portal on an exciting ride. During the ride, you'll be transported to the beautiful Gotham City Park, but watch out. One of the fun things about this ride is BATMAN'S arch-enemies are everywhere. Time to escape into the famous Batcave to blast off and save the day with this fun adventure.
