    I remember riding this ride back in 1976. It was considered at that time a BIG thriller of a ride. It was lots of fun and brings back some good memories :)

    This was my first roller coaster. Best decision I ever made! Ironically my daughters first was Raging Bull! Now she's hooked! Love six flags!

    would be a good ride if they added some cushion to those head rests

    What I like about this Arrow Dynamics Coaster Marvelous creation is that Great America has kept it going since the 1970’s and I hope it won’t suffer the same Fate as one of my Favorite looping roller coasters Ever the Great American Scream Machine at my Home State Park Six Flags Great Adventure and when it does reach the end of its service life I hope Great America will replace with something that the Fans of Six Flags Great America of this coaster and Batman’s the ride plus Raging Bull that they will remember for the long Haul

    Pro tip to ride tense your neck up entering the corkscrews that's the worst part with some very awful feeling motions but get through those three seconds and your golden.

    • @lil_lady8403
      @lil_lady8403 10 лет назад

      It isnt painful it's actaully the least scariest ride you get on at one point your head bangs across the seat after like going to second loop just stay stiff plus I got on twice thats saying alot.

  • @4373fg

    Is that B&M in the background Raging Bull? Also wasn't Demon used in the first scene of Final Destination 3?

    • @jo-jowei6147
      @jo-jowei6147 10 лет назад

      If you're talking about 2:26, then yes, that is Raging Bull in the background. Also around 52 seconds that is also Raging Bull. The roller coaster at 1:30 is X-Flight.

    The corkscrews on this ride is the worst part. It bumps you to the headrests. Ouch! This is probably one of the worst coasters I've ever been on.

    • @triple7marc
      @triple7marc 8 лет назад

      SpongeSquid 0444 They probably won't renovate it because it is so old. They want to focus their money on more important things. You see me all over RUclips? On what type of videos?

    • @woodcoasterdude
      @woodcoasterdude 8 лет назад

      it is in part the restraints, OTSRs are what you bang your head against. Besides that it's just the way arrow used to make their rides. Back when demon was built and I think right up until their last few coasters arrow would finish the track pieces on site whereas newer manufacturers do it in factory where they can make the track more precisely and therefore smoother. The rest of it is the arrow designs. They may have been top notch at the time but the transitions into corkscrews on almost all of their rides are awkward and have the train sideways before rising into the corkscrew itself so when the upward transition hits it sorta smacks your head down into the restraint.

    This ride should have been closed or replaced years ago. A 30 year old coaster? Maybe they are keeping it open for nostalgic reasons but everyone over 16 years of age would find this ride boring after their 2nd ride.
