Six Flags Great America is located between Chicago and Milwaukee and offers fun for the entire family with 14 heart-pounding roller coasters, a free 20-acre water park, spectacular shows, a nighttime illuminated parade and three children’s themed areas.
Get ready to take flight! New in 2012 - X-Flight, a ground-breaking wing coaster featuring cutting-edge technology. Great America is the first to announce plans for a wing coaster in the U.S. X-Flight will take riders on a flight that defies gravity, with no track above or below them. Riders sit in pairs, suspended on either side of the track with their feet dangling as they begin their climb up a 12-story plunge, launching them into speeds of 55 miles per hour through 3,000 feet of intense drops, zero-g rolls, barrel rolls and five inversions! X-Flight will open May 16.
Soar on X-Flight all season long with a 2012 Season Pass, now on sale for $64.99 each when buying 4 or more. Buy your Season Pass today at sixflags.com
