For 2019, the Gurnee amusement park just announced last week that they will be adding a 17th coaster to their lineup of thrill rides.
Not to mention this new coaster will be breaking three records!?
The 2019 coaster is called Maxx Force. This magnificent piece of equipment intends to be the fastest acceleration in North America taking riders from 0-78 mph in under two seconds, become the tallest inversion in the world and the fastest inversion in the world according to a Six Flags Great America (SFGA) press release.
Maxx Force is the fourth new ride in as many years joining JUSTICE LEAGUE: Battle for Metropolis, THE JOKER and Mardi Gras Hangover, respectively.
"Six Flags reigns supreme for record-breaking, one of a kind rides and world-class thrills," said Six Flags Great America Park President Hank Salemi in the press release. "The new Maxx Force coaster is in a class all by itself, launching riders from zero to 78 miles per hour in under two seconds. No other coaster in the country accelerates at that blistering speed."
So you may be wondering, besides the speed, the inversion and the inversion (get it? Double inversion? Is the dad pun working?), what else makes this new coaster so unique?
Let's take a glance at the features:
To make room for this record-breaking coaster, the Gurnee theme park waved farewell to the Pictorium IMAX theater along with Southwest Territory Amphitheatre.
