I am a roller coaster newbie. I’ve always been terrified of them. Great America is my hometown park, and a few weeks ago, I did my first ride, x flight. After that, I was completely hooked. Personally, Viper is my favorite, but I love them all.
I grew up in Gurnee, went to Six Flags Great America innumerable times throughout the ‘80’s and ‘90’s. A lot has changed but a lot has stayed the same. Thanks for the walk down memory lane!
I remember the days of the Twicket. You’d pay full price for a ticket the first day and then you could buy a ticket for $2 that would let you back in the next day.
Rollercoaster history enthusiast here with a fun fact. American eagle was built in 1981 so yes its old but wooden rollercoasters were first starting to be built in the early 1900's. Also in front of any historical rollercoasters you might find a sign that says ACE on it Six flags great america has several you can see one for wizzer at 4:39.
Glad you corrected thank god that was a ridiculous mistake fact by him it’s an Old School Wooden Coaster but it’s actually the only Wooden Coaster Intamin Amusement Rides ever made so if he was an informative Enthusiast like you and me he would at least know that about American Eagle but hey not Everyone can be An Amusement Park Roller Coaster Enthusiast
@@robertd9020 As the last reply said, it's not the only wooden coaster made by Intamin. However, it is the first roller coaster that Intamin ever made!

Love Great America! I remember when it opened up in the summer of 1976. It was operating as Marriott’s Great America back then. Two coasters remain from opening day…the Whizzer used to be called Williard’s Whizzer (named after Willard Marriott) and was really great at night. The Demon used to be called Turn of the Century when the park opened and was converted to the Demon in the early 80’s. I remember when the American Eagle was built in 1981…it was a really big deal. That Aquaman water ride goes back to opening day, was called something different then. It’s a great park that really has a great selection of coasters now. Was sad back in the 70’s though because when Marriott’s Great America opened up, it caused my favorite local amusement park to close…Dandelion Park, just west of Milwaukee in Muskego. Thanks for the memories!
I would love for you to do different theme parks all over the country (or even the world). It’d be a nice change from Disney (which I love but don’t want to see every day).
@@sophiyahomewood8046 you guys are really stupid. They know it’s not Disney but if you look through Kyle’s videos it’s all Disney and Jennie was just saying how Kyle should change it up that’s all Jennie was saying.
I live in Illinois and this park was always my favorite through the years. The Whizzer was always my favorite to hop on and just enjoy. Especially that spiral lift. Back in the days (80s) they use to have a monster arcade full of all your favorite arcade games. That alone made me revisit a zillion times. I really miss those days. Thanks for posting this!
Raging Bull and Goliath are my 1A and 1B at Great America…both amazing rides! Superman (the one they tried to go on that closed on them sadly) is incredible too. Lots of great rides at Great America…if you like coasters and haven’t been, I highly recommend going.
We have visited almost all the Six Flags in the US. Our favorite is New Jersey Great Adventure. The Six Flags Over Texas in Dallas is fun too. Our home park is the one in Gurneee. I suggest the season pass that lets you park for free and visit all the parks too. Good luck and enjoy your time at home.
Six flags… great adventure is 20 min away. It does have some great rides but you will need the flash pass to get all of the rides in on one day. It also has a water park.. so you might need two days. Keep in mind that the nearest hotel is 20 or so mins away. The six flags in lake George is amazing. But be prepared for a lot of hills. They do have a few hotels near by. The best part is the ice cream shop on the other side of the road. Martha’s dandy cream has been featured on national tv. Fell free to pm me with any questions.
So much fun to see other theme parks and new rides! Absolutely go to Six Flags all over the country! The one in Upstate NY is not far from Niagara falls. Funny how the Superman ride in NY is completely different than the one there. In NY - they have knee pads on the seat in front of you because you spend much of your time in the air lifted out of your seat! Can't wait to see a spinning water slide! Wendy Lady
The Whizzer is such a gem, you should come out to the other Great America in CA, its a trip going to the "other" Great America that you are not used to
i grew up in Skokie, Illinois and my family and i used to visit six flags often when i was a kid. im currently living in california and cant believe how much the theme park has changed over the years. my favorite ride back then was the american eagle.
Good morning. I think you should do a tour of Six Flags, please try Great Adventure in New Jersey . It is awesome. If you ever come back to NYC, you must visit Coney Island and try the Wonder Wheel and Cyclone . Also, Rye Playland in Rye NY. Ride the Dragon Coaster. Enjoy your time there. Looking forward to your next vlog. Enjoy your day/ evening.
The Whizzer was my first roller coaster! I grew up going to Six Flags in Gurnee every summer. Haven't been there in years now! I need to make the trip down from Green Bay soon!
Kyle, love the idea of you going to every Six Flags in the U.S. and vlogging it. It's neat to see an inside look of this park. I always wanted to visit when we would drive past from Chicago up to Fox Lake. Thank you for sharing!
@@randimurray5902 Can we go on rides together and I will go any rides you wanna go on also I will take you to go Karts with me I will drive also ride in ur car and you can have my # and I'm single wbu
Hey 👋🏻 Kyle. Really, really love this Vlog!! I feel like I’ve been through EVERY ride with you. Thanks for taking us on this journey. Your hair after the Max Force though….😆😆😆😆!! Another great Vlog. Love how your mom was asking about you filming her 😄😄😄, she’s super cool. Can’t wait to see Wisconsin Dells tomorrow, Same Kyle Time, Same Kyle Channel!! P.S. also come to six flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, CA. I’ll meet you there.
I use to go to Six Flags Great America during the summer every year. I moved out of Illinois in 2012. I don’t know what changes made in the park but I’m glad some old roller coasters still present. I did remember Shockwave roller coaster at the time before torn down and placed in with Superman. Space Shuttle America was my favorite theater ride…RIP 1994-2007. It was used to be located next to the go kart track at the front of the park. The Viper and Whizzer I used to go on a lot. American Eagle carts used to go backwards until they changed it back to forward. It’s a shame the antique car ride was removed…it use to go on there.
Would love the six flags videos !! I went to six flags in Mass. when I was younger & it was so much fun! Curious to see how things have changed since then !!
Glad you guys had fun. I'm surprised they let you film on the rides. At my home park Six Flags Great Adventure it's not allowed they kick people out for that.
I'm shocked too. It's very dangerous and reckless to be honest. Six Flags has a strict zero tolerance no recording on rides policy. But it looks like he does it secretly knowing that he can get in trouble because you can see him trying to hide the phone at the end of Viper.
I’ve been to go to Busch Gardens in Tampa Bay, Florida it is an amazing roller coaster park all the rides are so fun and safe! My personal favorite is cheetah hunt!
I can't believe American Eagle is still alive and well! OMG! Remember Shockwave and Iron Wolf! Wow! THANK YOU for the Gurnee flashback! The characters were never out and about back in the days when we visited.
“Well” lol. They can’t even duel it properly due to the how old the ride is and they can’t really fix it due to some laws and regulations, mainly the proximity to the highway.
Iron Wolf still exists, but it was moved to Six Flags America to make room for Goliath and has since been renamed as Firebird! Can't say the same for Shockwave, though.
I grew up in the northwest suburbs of Chicago so we spent a lot of time here. I'm 69 years old now so haven't been to an amusement park in four decades, but a couple of my favorites that are no longer there were the triple ferris wheel and the stand-up roller coaster. I'm surprised that so much of the park is the same. Thanks for bringing back my memories!
Man Kyle it's good to see something a little different bc you live in Florida but I get it, you can't just travel whenever but yes, sixflags have wooden coasters so they are bumpy I hate them sometimes bc they are bumpy and I bang my head sometimes but I still love Six Flags. I'm at the one SuxFlags St. Louis of you ever come to STL let me know and I'll be there
Six Flags Great Adventure in Jersey is definitely a must visit for their parks. Love the rides there it's great if you're into thrills Edit: if you were afraid of that one launch coaster you might not wanna try Kingda Ka lmao
@@jabbawabba4949 Me too! I was older, and my first real one was actually RnR in DHS. BUT... does that really count for a REAL coaster? LOL Nitro though, love it. Now, we always do that first every visit. It is a staple for us!
Took me back!!! It has been 12 years since I have been there. From the Whizzer to Raging Bull. SO much fun and great memories. I remember when I entered recovery, my ex had been sober already a year. And we bought season tickets to Six Flags to have a great way to have sober fun. Great memories.
I’d def be interested in seeing a series of Six Flags’ visits, this one in IL is actually one of the few I haven’t been to yet. Def recommend saving the TX parks for a cooler time of year though, I used to work at 6fFiesta (San Antonio) and it being built inside a quarry makes it great for 🎢 rides but not great for 🥵 … there is a water park attached tho, so that’d be neat to see you experience the two of them together. Arlington also has some fab rides, you could go at same time of year as the TX state fair 😏 Also agree with other commenters that spreading the wealth across other US or international Disney parks would be cool to see to spice it up
I grew up going to Great America…. I grew up in Elgin, Dundee area. It’s much better than the Six Flags in ATL. So cool to see it. Haven’t been in 20 years.
This had been a real treat! I have never been to six flags! So back here in Florida I will be heading to Pop Century and visiting Epcot for my Birthday 🥳 on Monday the 27th woo hoo!!!
Yes please go to Six Flags Magic Mt. CA. Heading out there Monday for my Birthday!! It has the most roller coasters! I’d love to visit Illinois and my family in Wisconsin! One day!
I think visiting all the six flags parks would be cool. A fun way to incorporate your viewers would be to have a “hometown expert” show you around their park! Since you are our expert for us on Disney, you could let them show you their best way for visiting their park. Just an idea. Keep up the great content!!
So much nostalgia! I’m from Wisconsin so this was my home park for my entire childhood. Now we live near Orlando, Fl and I live in theme park heaven. But thank you, can’t wait to get back to this park sometime soon.
Wow, American Eagle looks awesome - I love a good wooden coaster - though my back doesn't anymore 😂. I think it would be cool to see different six flag parks. Max force looked wicked, your hair told the story, but Goliath OMG, holy cow dude Goliath looks crazy!! Raging Bull was so high 😳 That was a great park day, fun time 👍
American Eagle is still one of my favs. Have you ever gotten to ride it backwards? Do you remember when they did that many years back?? It was so cool!
This was my home theme park as well. I remember going there after prom....way back in 1988!!!! Whizzer was my first roller coaster and I thought I was tough crud when I went on the Demon. LOL. This was fun. Memories for sure!
You also need to look at the signs in the queue line, the regular line, to know what to shoot to get you the most points for the battle for metropolis ride.
Whizzer! Lol....oh the trauma of having to ride with a stranger in the weird seating as a kid when we had an odd number of us 😂😂😂 Glad you guys had a fun time!
It's been 8 years since I been to six flags. I love that place. So many good memories. A lot has changed since I've been there. I have to take my kids there to spend the day. Thank you for uploading this.
My wife and daughter both work there and are supervisors for the park. There are a lot of cool things you learn from them from the backstage perspective. I grew up going there in the 70's 80's etc. we grew up in the northwest burbs of Chicago and spent many a day there over the summer. If you are interested in doing the tour of Six Flags parks, let me know because they get free access and parking at all of the parks and Cedar Fair parks now also.
Unfortunately Half those rides I would not go on but as long as you’re having fun that’s all I like to see the food look OK as always a great time thank you Kyle for all the really hard work you do for us your fans
We went last summer and it felt so run down and dirty. I heard they were working on cleaning it up since then so hopefully that’s the case. We’ll probably go back once we get a break from the kids sports. Now I’m off to watch the video lol.
First time with my family there was awesome! It was a weekend to celebrate with and for my eldest daughter officially becoming a US Citizen and A Navy sailor. We love the MaxForce, Viper and Goliath!
I am a roller coaster newbie. I’ve always been terrified of them. Great America is my hometown park, and a few weeks ago, I did my first ride, x flight. After that, I was completely hooked. Personally, Viper is my favorite, but I love them all.

On Demon: "That was actually not that bad. It's pretty smooth." Famous last words. That ride nearly knocked me out on that dive into the corkscrews.
It must've been the restraints that made it smooth.

This had been a real treat! I have never been to six flags! So back here in Florida I will be heading to Pop Century and visiting Epcot for my Birthday 🥳 on Monday the 27th woo hoo!!!

Yes please go to Six Flags Magic Mt. CA. Heading out there Monday for my Birthday!! It has the most roller coasters! I’d love to visit Illinois and my family in Wisconsin! One day!

I think visiting all the six flags parks would be cool. A fun way to incorporate your viewers would be to have a “hometown expert” show you around their park! Since you are our expert for us on Disney, you could let them show you their best way for visiting their park. Just an idea. Keep up the great content!!
OMG, that’s SUCH a good idea! If Kyle doesn’t do this, SOMEone should!!
I really do hope he sees this 😁
I would love to see yall go to Dollywood and splash country. It’s our little gem here in East Tennessee!

So much nostalgia! I’m from Wisconsin so this was my home park for my entire childhood. Now we live near Orlando, Fl and I live in theme park heaven. But thank you, can’t wait to get back to this park sometime soon.
Six flags is very nostalgic it’s fun to see different rides in different cities ,I miss astroworld!!

It was so awesome bumping into you yesterday! It made my day!
Nice job! I did a vlog at SFGAM exactly one week before you were there. 🙂
Just got back from GA and six flags was EPIC!
Wow, American Eagle looks awesome - I love a good wooden coaster - though my back doesn't anymore 😂. I think it would be cool to see different six flag parks. Max force looked wicked, your hair told the story, but Goliath OMG, holy cow dude Goliath looks crazy!! Raging Bull was so high 😳 That was a great park day, fun time 👍
My goodness on some of the rides! 😲 when younger I would ride , I can’t anymore to terrified

On raging bull the guy behind you flipped the camera off

American Eagle is still one of my favs. Have you ever gotten to ride it backwards? Do you remember when they did that many years back?? It was so cool!
I remember Joker vandalized Viper and it went backwards during Halloween time haha

You also need to look at the signs in the queue line, the regular line, to know what to shoot to get you the most points for the battle for metropolis ride.
You need to check out cedar point and kings island
This vlog was so much fun to watch... I just saw it for the second time today! 😁
Whizzer! Lol....oh the trauma of having to ride with a stranger in the weird seating as a kid when we had an odd number of us 😂😂😂 Glad you guys had a fun time!
🤣🤣🤣

@An
It's been 8 years since I been to six flags. I love that place. So many good memories. A lot has changed since I've been there. I have to take my kids there to spend the day. Thank you for uploading this.

Please continue to travel to other theme parks, but you have to go to Cedar Point if you do, it's one of the best for coasters!

21:27 Wisconsin cuisine 🤣🤣 ain't no way is that better than anything in Illinois. Portillos wipes the floor with Culvers
You should check out Knott's Berry Farm in CA next time you go to Disneyland (and eat at Mrs. Knott's Chicken Dinner Restaurant)
My wife and daughter both work there and are supervisors for the park. There are a lot of cool things you learn from them from the backstage perspective. I grew up going there in the 70's 80's etc. we grew up in the northwest burbs of Chicago and spent many a day there over the summer.
If you are interested in doing the tour of Six Flags parks, let me know because they get free access and parking at all of the parks and Cedar Fair parks now also.
Such a throwback! I loved going to this park growing up in the Chicagoland area! I haven’t been back here in a decade!

I grew up in DeKalb and the company my mom worked for would have their company picnic there ... Some of the best memories!!

We went last summer and it felt so run down and dirty. I heard they were working on cleaning it up since then so hopefully that’s the case. We’ll probably go back once we get a break from the kids sports. Now I’m off to watch the video lol.

Jersey is open! We’re pumped for your visit
I don’t recommend taking your phone on rides, it’s against the rules at most parks and it could fly out of you hands and really hurt someone
He has a selfie stick strapped to his arm those are allowed
Christian
There’s also selfie sticks with straps that your allowed in rides.
First time with my family there was awesome! It was a weekend to celebrate with and for my eldest daughter officially becoming a US Citizen and A Navy sailor. We love the MaxForce, Viper and Goliath!
