Kari's Rating 8/10…read more TLDR: -Groupon has a pack of 4 tickets for $200 through Sept 7 -Bring walking shoes/sunscreen -Fast passes are 100% worth it if you can afford on a weekend Got here at the bum crack of dawn for parking (10am) and got right into the park in their preferred parking lot. We got the ultimate fast passes and I realized throughout the day I literally don't have time to think/be able to panic in-between rides. It was such a fun time and definitely worth it to get the ultimate fast passes-especially during the weekend when it's absolutely packed. Even tho some of the rides don't take fast pass like American Eagle, we found on a Saturday it was 100% worth it as far as lines go. I have ranked the rides below according to how much I loved them. 1. Goliath 9.5 2. Raging Bull 8.5 3. American Eagle 8 4. X flight 7 5. Rakshasa 7.5 6. Demon 7 7. Whizzer 5 8. Viper 3 9. Rue La Dodge 2 The $35 all you can eat dining wristband was worth it if you want to try all of the vendors. We got burgers, chicken tenders and a chicken wrap. So for us two it was well worth the price! Stopped and also got a coffee as well as a few dipping dots which weren't included in the wristband and cost $13 and $8. I think it's definitely worth it. If you're coming with the family on a weekend to get the fast pass, I know it's a little expensive, but it really does give you the flexibility to explore almost all of the rides and not spending time waiting in line lines! But if you come fairly often and have a season pass, then I guess the lines may be worth it.

3X THE FUN Triple…read morePlay is located in Hometown Square in between the train station and the season pass processing center. The ride opened in 1976 and was manufactured by HUSS Rides. It is also known as a Trokia, which means 'group of three' in Russian. The Triple Play has three arms extending out from a center column. Each of these cars can seat up to two people and are located at the end of every arm in a circle. Now the fun begins when the operator turns on the ride. The center column rotates in a clockwise motion while the cars located at the end of the arms rotate in a counterclockwise motion. I am getting dizzy just thinking about this ride and let's not forget the sweeping motion of the ride as it goes up and down. You will also notice a slight rocking motion of the car from side to side. Now my description sounds a lot worse then the ride actually is. In fact, this ride is quite mild. It is a great beginner ride for your little one as you slowly work your kids up to bigger and faster coasters. This is another one of those rides that I have ridden on as a child and with my child. It is always fun to share these childhood memories. The line may look long but it moves fast. If I do my math correctly 21 cars times 2 people means 42 people can potentially ride at one time. I also feel that many people miss this ride because it is tucked in the corner. Make sure to do not wait until the end of the night to ride this because it will shut down early to accommodate the evening stage show and the nightly parade. You have been warned. My little one loves this ride and it is always fun to ride with her on it. She laughs and giggles. It always cracks me up when she asks me to hold on to her. This ride only has a metal lap bar and it does feel like you might fly out as the ride goes into it's dropping motion. I was curious as to how many of these rides still exist. I was able to find out in the USA, there are at least eight Troikas in operation and they are located at Cedar Point, Palace Playland, Kings Island, Elitch Gardens, Kings Dominion, Fun Spot Amusement Park, Six Flags Great America, and Six Flags Over Texas. So get on board this classic Trokia ride and feel the spin.

The carousel in California is the tallest carousel in the world at 101 feet and the one at Six Flags Great America is the second tallest at 100 feet. They were built almost 50 years ago on 1976. Each of the horses and animals is a replica of a famous carved carousel animal. The paintings reflect American history. When I visited Six Flags Great America with my daughter, I told her that this is how we should end our day of riding rollercoasters and that is exactly what we did. Climbed the stairs to the second level. Then chose a row of jumping horses and we were on our way. Such a great way to end the day at Six Flags Great America.

A drop that is more than vertical. Speed of up to 67 MPH. A definite adrenaline rush. Interestingly, I heard about this ride the day before we went to Six Flags from a grad student that I met at a mindful meditation class. He said that it was one of the top rollercoasters that he had been on. I agree! A great way to start a day of riding rollercoasters at Six Flags Great America.

What makes this coaster take my breath away (literally at times) is the fact that all you have is a frickin lap belt and no harness. There's not really even anything to hold on to except for this little loop on your seat belt. And i dont think its even made for that. I just tried finding anything that I can wrap my hands on to feel somewhat secure before conquering this giant of a coaster. And yes, although only being secured by a measley lap belt, you go upside down in loops. So the only thing holding you in to your seat other than that lap belt is pure G-force. That first drop is all that. Its the steepest one here at the park at an 85 degree angle and you are going at it at such a high speed! Pure adrenaline rush for you junkies out there. Keep in mind that this is another wooden coaster here but so much smoother than that of the Viper and old man American Eagle. I believe this is the best roller coaster here at Six Flags and of course, my favorite. Try riding it at night and enjoy the view before that first 180 ft drop!

The structure for this coaster is crazy it's the first of the wood meets steal hybrids I've seen that had this type of inversion where you spend a good amount of time upside down as the hang time is just not seen anywhere else! Goliath doesn't let you down in anyway whatsoever at any point as the entire ride was smooth and just super enjoyable at every twist and turn to the point of which it feels like you are still riding the classic wooden coaster right until you see that next Hybrid inversion coming at you with a good amount of speed! The line for Goliath can get super long I say this as the day we came to the park it wasn't that busy so do make sure you hit this ride early! Goliath here is awesome and I'll be looking forward to riding it the next time I visit this radical park of Six Flags Great America!

I think my astronaut days are behind me. I'm sure I wouldn't survive with Matt Damon in The Martian. When I was younger we would make this ride spin so fast I would literally feel like I was spinning sideways from top to bottom which included a few moments of blindness and blacking out, followed by stumbling off of the ride like I just drank a whole bottle of spirits with zero mixers. When I go on the ride now there's a very slow spin happening, luckily my crew feels the same way as me. It's never fun getting old but I'll always have the memories. Cue up Dead or Alive, "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)"! I'm going to lean towards the alive part and go for a slow twirl.
