[fairysrock100]

[zdog825]

PaperGoomba64 when is opening day? And ill probably be there opening day too!!!!

[snowboardfun66]

[zdog825]

I cant wait to go on this ride this coming season!!!!! The line for this ride, will be longer than raging bull now!!!!!

[RKExpress89]

Thanks i love that iget to see the ride

[IronwolfSFGAm1]

This is gonna have a weird loading station.

[snowboardfun66]

@IronwolfSFGAm1 its proboly gona be like amercian eagle

[fairysrock100]

@snowboardfun66 no it is not going to be anything like american eagle

[soulcalibur22]

@IronwolfSFGAm1 nope just search X at magic mountain the loading is fine

[JakelarMillwall]

i think for thi, you would get a better ride sitting on the left side of the cars maybe???

[xCOASTERFREAKx]

@JakelarMillwall i agree. i dont know why, but the left side seems better...

[PaperGoomba64]

I'm coming on opening day right when its opens! Hopefully i'll be the first ever guest to ride it! xD Soo excited!

[WangoReads]

im so going this summer and recording it llol

[MrCobyChan]

Its got the Thorpe Park Inversion in it.

[skyloverbeautifulx]

saw this at lbj

[THOMASRCT3FAN35]

This ride is the worlds first reverse drop (drop that turns and foes backward like in the vid) :P

[ArnoPeeraer]

@THOMASRCT3FAN35 And The Swarm at Thorpe Park?

[96dominoes]

@rollercoaster2345 You see I disagree with you there. I think Swarm is better because of the scenery, but the twist on this ride does look good!

[ArnoPeeraer]

This is the first Wing Rider of America, right?

[TheScarletChick101]

@ArnoPeeraer i think so

[xCOASTERFREAKx]

@ArnoPeeraer yes it its. Six Flags Great America was the first to announce plans for it so it is technically the first

[ArnoPeeraer]

@xCOASTERFREAKx Okay, because here in Europe (I'm from Belgium) are already three wing riders:

* Furius Baco at Port Aventura, in Spain (the first wing coaster of the world)

* Raptor at Gardaland, in Italy

* The Swarm at Thorpe Park England (Under construction)

And I've already done Furius Baco ;)

(Sorry for my bad English, because I'm Dutch)

[DarkEmoE]

@ArnoPeeraer furious baco is not a wingrider. wingriders have seats that move

[ArnoPeeraer]

@DarkEmoE Trains with moving seats, are 4D coasters!

The seats on the trains of Furius Baco doesn't move!

[MCfilms13]

@xCOASTERFREAKx i think its which ever coaster opens first

[SuperSpikez1]

the starts like the swarm at Thorpe park

[iamkhalifa99]

@rollercoaster2345 yeah but they still copied thorpe park

[SuperJerico23]

like x2 exept x2 is better cuz it flips

[MrZombow]

@SuperJerico23 This is not like X2. The only thing that reminds X-Flight of X2 is the seating and colour. The layout is completely different. X-Flight looks better, but X2 is still awesome though..

[youwishlewis]

i think this has a better layout than swarm, but swarm wins in terms of theming.

[rocker78able]

the scariest part must be going through that tower... it looked like you were about to crash...

[randomjarhead]

Fright fest this year was so much better than last year

[il0v3BillKaulitz]

@randomjarhead lucky i couldnt even go

[randomchiick1]

fucking retards this ride & the swarm ARE MADE BY THE SAME COMPANY.

durr.

[Nikki062601]

I love how it looks like it runs smoothly:) live close to the park! But it's gonna be packed at six flags tho :(

[Nikki062601]

Yes! :D goin on! Theyre building it by I think raging bull :) I saw the construction when I went for fright fest

[UnicornBlood13]

@Nikki062601 it"s gonna be Iron Wolf's replacement(R.I.P) and hell ya fright fest was badass this year!!!!

[metropolisisawesome]

@UnicornBlood13 fright fest was great. unfortunately on the train there were no decorations and the front lot was full. I'm excited for X-flight but sad to see I.W. go.

[il0v3BillKaulitz]

@metropolisisawesome iron wolf was the shit

[TheScarletChick101]

Cant wait! Thats gonna be open for the 2012 season. IM sad they are taking down Iron Wolf. I loved that coaster..... and x-flight isnt even going in to where iron wolf was.

[superflyyyy1]

@TheScarletChick101 they are taking iron wolf down because they are moving it to maryland

[il0v3BillKaulitz]

@TheScarletChick101 y r they removing is it not popular enough? or is it maintnence issues? ANYWAY yea it sucks tho cuz i like that ride 2

[TheScarletChick101]

@il0v3BillKaulitz Injuries i guess. I also think in its final 2 years it kept breaking down.

[ThrillRider247]

yes please !! i will take one of these at my park.. valleyfair, hehehe

[joshn091]

looks like dangerous

[YusifDaMan24]

Thumbs up if you had to take a shit after watching this .

[iGoldhackez]

@YusifDaMan24 lol im watching this right now and im holding my poopy cause my moms in the bathroom

[BlooMKW]

WOULD ALL OF YOU PLEASE CUT THE CRAP ABOUT THIS COASTER STEALING SWARM'S DROP. THEY BOTH HAPPEN TO HAVE THE SAME FIRST DROP, BUT THEY WERE BOTH DESIGNED BY THE SAME COMPANY AND ARE ABOUT THE SAME IN HEIGHT, BUT TOTALLY DIFFERENT. SWARM WAS JUST RELEASED EARLIER. THEY ARE BOTH OPENING IN 2012. Also, this is NOTHING similar to X-2 at Magic mountain. X-Flight's seats don't spin and they aren't even built by the same company.

[SonicFanDU]

That roller coaster looks like X2 in Six Flags Magic Mountain, except that the seats don't rotate and the seats are facing forwards instead of backwards!!

[tacoexorcist]

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuccc­ccccccccjjjjjkkkkkkk

[000guitarplayer]

NO WAY THAT LOOKS FUCKING SICK!!!! I LIVE A HOUR AWAY FROM THAT PARK AND IM EXCITED AS FUCKKK

[il0v3BillKaulitz]

@000guitarplayer me 2 im so goin nxt yr

[1992Xenomorph]

Is this X-Flight related in some way to the X2 at SFMM? Same color, similar name, and similar ride tech.

[TheSam202]

fuck that lol

[HMForeverZombies]

this looks like "The Swarm" thats being built at Thorpe Park , London.

[iiPuLsE123]

@HMForeverZombies its the same ting

[IzCoaster]

I stood on the track of this ride yesterday

[IronwolfSFGAm1]

hey look on the first drop we almost ram our faces into the demon

[Infernaped]

LOL X2?

[il0v3BillKaulitz]

@Infernaped i felt they jacked X2 coaster style minus the rotation

[Infernaped]

@il0v3BillKaulitz Which makes it mediocre. The thing that makes X2 is the rotation of the seats. :D

[MrSnIpErHaWk4]

@concton2 umm iron wolf was b&m also

[JaredzzC]

hmm um, this seems alot like the LC2012 ( The swarm ) at thorpe park - new coaster spring 2012

[iMagicBananas]

With all these virtual pov's Six Flags might aswell make RCT4!

[Kazcinelo95]

Where are your six flags great america povs?

[tormentor4000]

Six Flags didn't copy anything you idiots! Both X-Flight and The Swarm are B&M coasters - the coaster manufacturers!

[crazydudejr81]

wow fail magic mountains X2 is way better

[nolimetcoaster1993]

@crazydudejr81 x2 is rough and is a 4d coaster these are too completly different coasters so dont judge rides until youve ridden them

[crazydudejr81]

@nolimetcoaster1993 ok but its way better

[nolimetcoaster1993]

@crazydudejr81 no its not

[213juke]

@crazydudejr81 this isnt even close to the x2 it wasnt meant to be like x2.

[sixflagsfan1113]

@crazydudejr81 Doubt it. This is a B&M coaster. B&M is the best roller coaster company in the world. This will be smooth, not rough and wont have track that goes mostly in a straight line.

[501stSpitfire]

@sixflagsfan1113 Are you totally forgetting about Intamin? Schwarzkopf? GCI? Maurer Sohne? There are lots of fantastic companies out there.

[familyguylover224222]

somebody stole thorpe parks plans

[concton2]

I personally don't like my head banging the shit out of the restraint. Don't know about the seat spinning and all that crap, but at least you won't need a chiropractor for this ride, being a B&M and all.

[concton2]

@PurpleNinjaBarbie wow you are obnoxious how the hell are you so certain that x2 is better than this. The only objective way to find out what's better is to actually ride them both, so are you from the future? or you like x2 so much only because it's in your home park. For your information, x2 only placed 32nd on a very reliable coaster poll, so ride more coasters before saying whats better, especially with something that hasn't even opened yet.

[water1412]

@concton2 really? how the hell do you rank a coaster on being the best??? its all opinion no matter if the poll is reliable. The only way you can rank, is by technical stats.

[concton2]

@water1412 how do you rank a coaster on being the best??? simple. the more people like it, the higher it is on the poll. coasters that are higher on the poll are the ones that people ranked higher in their ballots, in general, the ones that deliver more. Sure people have different opinions, but I imagine more people would like coasters like millennium force or el toro than say a shitty arrow looper.

[benthebad]

it seems unsafe

[MoustachesAreEpic]

@PurpleNinjaBarbie Still good to try new things :)

[MoustachesAreEpic]

@PurpleNinjaBarbie Omg... This is not a multidimensional coaster unlike x2! This is a wing coaster! Learn your facts before posting.

[FuJi1616]

5 inversions?/...

[fancy1961]

lmao well thorpe park thinks we suck cause we kinda stole there idea xD

[goofypoopie]

Can't wait

[Ultima64]

1:25 Geezus!

[TheToontownprincess]

@PurpleNinjaBarbie there knock offs lol x2 to will always be the best!

[TheUNofficialNHL]

4th dimensinon coasters, IMO, are better than wing-riders. i've never been on a wing-rider yet, though. But with 4-D coasters the manufacturer can rotate the seats on a 360 degree axis. Wing-riders seems like a standard coaster except the seats are on the sides.

[TheToontownprincess]

@PurpleNinjaBarbie ikr you spin on x2

[SPcoasterKidz]

Now these days, everything is made by B&M.

[alexandermarkalpe]

I'm sorry but X-Flight? sounds like a pretty mediocre name lol.

[213juke]

@alexandermarkalpe its still something new weve been waiting for a new good ride the dark knight was a fail

[sasora100]

that one guy screaming at the top of his lungs " STOPPP!!!!" is gonna make the ride 10 times better

[cryingbabytv]

This ride is gonna be so great, u should add some music though

[Ragebull910]

It's not the "Thorpe Park Inversion" it's a B&M Inversion. They're the ones that designed it.

[asdaapplejuice]

@Ragebull910 thorpe park inversion?

[Ragebull910]

@asdaapplejuice Thorpe Park is pissed because they claim the first drop is unique to their park. Just because they're the first to get it doesn't mean it's their property. They don't have a Trademark, it's B&M's design and they can do whatever they want with it.

[michaelbizley]

Gotta love the THORPE PARK inversion!

[TeamSatsChannel]

LOL. Nice copy of 'The Swarm' at Thorpe Park. Thorpe Park have released the following statement:

While we could be bitter about this, we would actually like to wish Six Flags Great America the best of luck with the 'THORPE PARK Inversion' and we hope that this is a start of things to come, that one day the 'THORPE PARK Inversion' will become famous in the rollercoaster world! We aim high!

[ssydney533]

They are taking down iron wolf. Monday is the last day it is running. I went today and they announced it in a lot of rides. So if you want to ride iron wolf one more time, go to six flags tomorrow!

[AceAviations2]

I personally think that the wingriders look like pieces of shit, this is no exception, this is just a shitty looking ride taking the place of a nice looking ride, the trains look REALLY shitty. I think the wingrider is the shittiest thing to come off of B&M's drawing boards, just build a nice looking sit down or floorless coaster instead of this.

[patricio6143]

0:32 looks scary as hell

[fancy1961]

ahhh cant this day come to ride this rly wanna ride

[BigBoyPantsRUs]

HOLY HELL THAT LOOKS COOL

[eastky74]

Tonight Dollywood will annouce their 2012 Wing rider.. ITs going be bigger than this one.

[tormentor4000]

@eastky74

True. However, Six Flags Great America being located in Gurnee, IL, Six Flags can't building anything to high as Gurnee imposes a height restriction on their rides and all.

[BrutalBananaz]

Hopefully Swarm at Thorpe park will be like this

[212NATH]

@BrutalBananaz It's going to be pretty much the same, Six Flags copied the dive inversion at the start from Thorpe Park

[BrutalBananaz]

@212NATH Awesome :D

[xXtornadoEPICfaceXx]

Can't wait :D going there next spring when it opens! And by It I mean X-Flight :D

[mamitsumamits]

Is this the B&M version of Arrow's X2? The tracks look so. Definite winner for SFGA folks!

[slimmerikje]

@mamitsumamits

short answer: NO

[Mijo102]

Nothing compared to X2 at SFMM

[jgarcia6859]

I think the ride Magic Mountain is getting next year will be the best attraction for 2012 but this looks hella fun too!!!

[lol0924]

@ 0:30 and 1:25 Attention people in the control tower! Do a barrel roll! Yeah we've made it! Mission: Fly through the hangar @ 1:20! =) Could be X-rated thrill for Xtreme low clearance!

[mikeynike81]

what will this replace?

[zinkerled]

@mikeynike81 everything

[ninjasinsky]

@mikeynike81 iron wolf

[goofypoopie]

I just can't wait to see some constructing pics and a ride test video.

[MrRCT3creator]

how much u wanna bet this is nolimits 2?

[pandog101]

I cant wait for this ride!!! They showed it on the news yesterday! I'm rideing it for sure with my BFF!! Even thoe i'm 12.

[eastky74]

Dollywood in Tennessee is getting the same ride, but much bigger, its going be 4000 feet long with a 200 ft drop..

[skibum101184]

@eastky74 But the WR at Dollywood was originally supposed to be a different coaster. They supposedly switched out the trains. There are no WR custom elements on their ride, including the diving drop loop. Just a standard B&M Layout with standard inversions.

[deurkl]

Vekoma Flying Dutchman has a better lay-out.

[poofy917]

@deurkl Thats a joke right? Comparing B&M to Vekoma is like comparing ice cream to shit.

[MrRCT3creator]

@poofy917 LMAO!!

[Rollercoaster5000]

To be honest I am unhappy with this ride, Six Flags have pissed all over The Swarms layout! Luckily for us, Swarm is themed better, is taller and will look far more intimidating so yeah we have the better ride next year.. oh and the dive on Swarm actually inverts, the dive/first drop on X-Flight does not invert.

[iMagicBananas]

is that the same as The Swarm being built at Thorpe Park in 2012?

[Rollercoaster5000]

@iMagicBananas It is the same ride type, unfortunately they have dicked all over the Swarm's layout which is really irritating.. luckily for us we have a better themed and more intimidating ride ;)

[stanwayroad]

is this the one thats also going to thorpe park?

[InsaneCoasterPOVs]

X-Flight VS Maverick

[InsaneCoasterPOVs]

0:31 That was close!

[finals3xfantasy]

What happens if the ride fucks up at 35 seconds lol it will probably completely derail and a bunch of people will die

[rollercoasterfan97]

@finals3xfantasy why would it derail at that certain point?

Why would it derail at any point throughout the whole ride?

A roller coaster train has never derailed and flown off the track as far im aware.

[RammaThorne20]

And we get Dinosaurs:D:D:D:D:D

[bluecoatsfan111]

this ride is probably going to be where Iron Wolf is right now, because this is the last year iron wolf is at great america.

[TimMc333]

HOLY SHIT, that building at 0:32 is going to be an awesome effect!

[ModelParkCreator]

I want something like this at Cedar Point

[frenchfrey65]

HOLY SHIT! This is coming to Great America!? Where's this gonna be put?

[Scottestcp]

@frenchfrey65 Around the area where Splashwater Falls used to be. 

[frenchfrey65]

@Scottestcp tbh, I'm not even sure where that is lol

[IceMan2450]

The way Six Flags has catered to Magic Mountain and Great Adventure for the last 8 years. I was giving up hope that Great America would ever get something thrilling again.

[kaboda317]

Wow, six flags is on a roll today!

[superpimpinboy]

this rollercoaster gonna b raw

[maddancer1002]

I love how that long barrel roll at the end is basically requred for all Wing Riders, so is a piece of scenery.

[CurveXD]

Finaly a new coaster!

[dcrusselle]

I am sooooooooooo x cited about this beacause this is my home park! at first i was mad that we didnt get Chang (the green lantern) last year, but now i would rather have this new concept instead... way to go sixflags!

[justinrock300]

I can't wait to go on this in 2012

[revilolee]

Damn, that looks crazy good.

[metalrocker95]

So where is this gonna be in the park

[ksb78]

@metalrocker95 they're dismantling the Iron Wolf. This new coaster is taking its place in the country fair area of the park.

This coaster looks cool, but at only 55mph, I don't know... I guess because of all of the twisting and revolving as its moving.

[dcrusselle]

@ksb78 yes it is being built in the county fair section, but its not being built in IW"s old spot. there building it closer to the American Eagle where splash water falls use to be

[ksb78]

@dcrusselle oh okay, thanks. Splash water falls...hmm. Its been a couple of years since I've been[2008]. I remember the raging rapids, but which one was splash water falls? Was it the one with the boats/canoes that had the drop at the end? Cause I love that one.

[dcrusselle]

@ksb78 yes sir! its that one... yea i was kinda mad when they took that down :(

[metalrocker95]

@ksb78 I know their taking down Iron Wolf but I don't think that the area is big enough for this coaster. And since the antique cars and splashwater falls are down I bet that this is where "X-Flight" is going to be located.

[TheHan464646]

@metalrocker95 yes that is where there putting it, because i work there and ive asked my supervisors where there putting it

[iPulverize1]

@metalrocker95 i dont think iron wolf is being removed because it is the first b & m roller coaster i swear look it up

[ProjectCoaster]

@iPulverize1 Iron Wolf is being removed. They said it a couple of months ago, I believe it's being relocated though.

[iPulverize1]

@ProjectCoaster awww i live in the six flags great america area and that is one of my fav. rides its gonna be sad because i only rode it 2 times cause my family HATES it aww poopers ):P

[metalrocker95]

@iPulverize1 It is!

[iPulverize1]

@metalrocker95 OK!
