X-Flight Animation

Get ready to take flight! Six Flags Great America announces plans to add a state-of-the-art roller coaster for the 2012 season. X-Flight is a ground-breaking wing coaster featuring cutting-edge technology. The Gurnee theme park is the first to announce plans for a wing coaster in the U.S.

X-Flight will take riders on a flight that defies gravity, with no track above or below them. Riders sit in pairs, suspended on either side of the track with their feet dangling, as they begin their climb up a 12-story plunge launching them into speeds of 55mph through 3,000 feet of intense drops and five inversions, including a barrel roll and zero-g roll. One of the most adrenaline-pumping moments on the ride is an extreme fly-through where the coaster speeds straight toward a structure, before making a last-minute vertical flip to fit through a keyhole cut-out.

@ogsamsterrr TYPING WITH CAPS LOCK DOES NOT VALIDATE YOUR STUPID AND IRRELEVANT OPINION.

@CoolioJoe100 i don't have anything against either of them, just intamin has been doing a lot better for the past few years, and B&M was kind of lagging new ideas. Not anymore.

@studio13production What do you have against Intamin?! They have actually made many more unique coasters than B&M has, and they're not about to stop.
