- Sky Whirl was a unique triple arm ferris wheel that operated at Six Flags Great America from 1976-2000. It was replaced by the Deja Vu roller coaster (2001-2007) and its former location is currently occupied by Buccaneer Battle, an interactive water ride. The area has never been the same without the whirring sound that Sky Whirl used to make as it towered over the food court.
The on ride footage was filmed in October 1999 during Fright Fest, which is why there are several Halloween decorations in the cabins. The footage with the beginning of it being dismantled was filmed in October 2000 shortly after it closed for good. Sky Whirl was a great ride to get a nice rest of and a great view of the park. The ride also lasted between 12-15 minutes!
Good Memories indeed.
Cool video. Wish it didn't have the music soundtrack because this particular ride had a unique motor sound which is what most of us remember.
That wasn’t what I was trying to make 24 years ago.
You could simply watch one of several other videos without music, like this one…..

Thanks for watching my old ass first video I ever made with dollar store software though!
@@AJH1004 Thanks for the update. I just watched that video and oh man how loud the whine was. It sounded like the gearbox seriously needed service or overhaul as I don't remember it being that high of a pitch. It had a low hum. My last ride was either 1980 or 1981.
😂 called it the make out wheel miss it
So surreal that you have footage of Sky Wirl being dismantled
Greetings! Would it be okay if I used this footage in a video I'm making about extinct attractions? I will give your channel full credit with an on-screen caption.
Yes you can do that. Thanks!
