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.
For me, after velocicoaster and incredicoaster, I am now HOOKED.
Bruh they didn’t show the Batman
Viper and Batman my favorite 🤩
Supermans goated though
Try raging bullll one of my favorite for years
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.
i was there last week
Remember Shockwave?
@@madgav935 Of course! And Iron Wolf and Z-Force and The Edge and the Tidal Wave…
I am going in a few days for my b day
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).
this isnt disney
babe this isnt disney
Ma’mn this is six flags
@@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.
@Jennie rod I got a ?
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.
Thank you for educating the younger gen
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 Intamin also built el toro and I think a couple others. :)
@@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!
@@Aidea._. Really you got me there with the whole not the only wooden coaster Intamin ever produced because I completely forgot about the Three Prefabricated wooden roller coasters 🎢 that they made Years after this one in the Early,Mid and Late 2000’s thanks for the refresher as the Amusement Park’s invent newer more cooler and more Thrilling and Advanced Roller Coasters you kind of check out Reviews for those Types of Roller Coasters and Not the ones from like the 2000’s 1990’s and 1980’s and 1970’s as Great as those Roller Coasters really were for their Time You get my point like For Instance The B&M Floorless coasters and The Inverts plus the Intamin Prefrabs will Always Hold up well over time like they have done In Recent Years And Past Decades as very intense Roller Coasters and People will Say that very soon about Rmc’s made in the early to Mid 2000’s they will call them Classic Thrilling Roller Coaster Rides so You see it’s a continuous always Changing and Developing Cycle as more Newer Roller Coasters will Continue to get Built like the Rmc Hyper Hybrids and The Single Rail coasters Plus the Mack Multi Launch and most Importantly the Extreme Spinner Coaster Models
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.
That Goliath ride looked like sooooooo much FUN!!!
@Diva Lauden I got a ?
It’s awesome! One of my favorites!
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!
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!
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.
It has been so long since we went to a Six Flags park. We used to live in Gurnee...so many things have changed. Enjoy your visit.
I absolutely loved seeing this, THANK YOU! Brings back so many childhood and high school memories and the park still looks really great.
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
That’s my home park
Nitro was my first real rollercoaster. I have the best memories at six flags great adventure
🤣😂 Ahhhh.... Do KK if you ever get there. It isn't that bad.
@@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!
but, not a faster speed. (Just in case some get confused between the two lol)
Absolutely loved this vlog !!! I haven’t been to six flags for at least 15 years. It’s amazing how some things haven’t changed !
@Joyce Karko I got a ?
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!
@Elizabeth K I got a ?
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
@Shooting Stars Photography I got a ?
Crazy seeing this park. A lot of the old rides are pretty much identical to great amaerica in San Jose where I grew up. Great video!
I would love for you to visit every single Six Flags in America. I think that would be great.
@Paige Fillinich I got a ?
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.
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!

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.
@Angie Kadow I got a ?
Love this!! This is my childhood park and I haven’t been since high school either and I’m 25 now 🥲
@Haley Mancuso I got a ?
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.
@Brenda Booth I got a ?
Definitely went to Six Flags most of my childhood. Thanks for sharing, brings back all those great memories!!!
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.
They dont even have the backwards one anymore i dont think which sucks but still a classic for sure
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.
Iron wolf was awful. If you want a migraine and your balls squashed. It might be the ride for you
@Alli Reynolds I got a ?
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.
@@patb8792 Yeah, it's not allowed but people still sneak them on.
@Maggie A I got a ?
Yeah I was on run away mine train and they stopped it cause this kid had a camera out and they kicked him off the ride
That was such a super super fun video!! Thanks for taking us along!! Glad u got to film the rides (pov’s)😻😻😻😻😻😻
@Diva Layden I got a ?
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.
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.
Kyle, watching you ride that scary roller coaster made me face my fears this past weekend and I rode Pantheon for the first time ever!
The Whizzer holds a special place in my heart! Such a quirky coaster ❤ I'm so happy it's been put on a registry to be preserved!
I was at that six flags last week with my kids, Demon and American Eagle back to back, respect...
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 !!
@Elizabeth Hunley I got a ?
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.
This is an awesome worlds colliding moment. This park is an hour from me and been there so many times so it’s killer to see your vlog there!
Six flags is very nostalgic it’s fun to see different rides in different cities ,I miss astroworld!!
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 used to love going to Great America as a kid. Great vlog, brings back so many memories!
@Monica Marie I got a ?
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.
This is my childhood place too! Moved away and haven’t been in years, I miss it so much, lots of nostalgia! 😭
Yes- You and JoJo should come to six flags NJ! And he could show you some other cool NJ and Philly stuff!
@melissa d I got a ?
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 amusement park of my childhood. Thank you bringing me back!!! ❤❤❤
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!
Yes it would be awesome to see you do all of the Six Flags! Your content is great! Keep having fun Kyle!

@Lucille Grass I got a ?
I’ll never forget the time of my first rollercoaster, The Whizzer. Good ol’ times.
Would love to see you hit up all the Six Flags parks! Would also love your take on Cedar Point and Knotts!
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
@Nina Williams I got a ?
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. 🙂
Yes. I would love you to go to all of the Six Flags Parks!!
Love seeing you visit other themeparks glad you had fun at Great America more rides and better coasters 😁🙌 looking forward to see you travel other parks and places in the future safe travels.
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!
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!!!

Yassss!! Six flags Great America is everything. Love this !!😍♥️

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
Hey Kyle if ur wondering I’m actually the worker who was at the demon and I’m glad u liked the ride
My name is Kenyon by the way
How cool!
@@dominiquebrown8790 yea the fact he said my name was Damian😐
So glad you went Friday and not today. Weather is not great today. Have fun!
I grew up going here in the 70's. Marriot's Great America. The Demon use to be called "The Turn of the Century." It didn't have the first two loops and tunnel, that was added, and changed to The Demon. I was there opening day for 'American Eagle." Just remember it being bumpy and nearly getting whiplash toward the end when it makes a sharp turn and straightens out.
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

When I was young, I went to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom for the first and only time. When I went there, it was called Six Flags Marine World. One time I used all of my lunch money on carnival games. I didn’t win a single game and I was famished for the remainder of my time there. I will not play anymore carnival games from now on. I will just use the money for food and merchandise.
I really enjoy when you drift away from Disney. Thank you for continuing with the great content.
Such a throwback! I loved going to this park growing up in the Chicagoland area! I haven’t been back here in a decade!

My favorite one here was either bull or x-flight. they ride super smoothly. Maxx force is crazy the acceleration, especially because i had never done a launch coaster.

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.
My first visit to the USA was in 1992. American Eagle was the first coaster - three times higher than the tallest woodie I’d ever ridden. Then, of course, it was Batman - The Ride’s first season and the first B&M Inverted Coaster in the World. Awesome times 😎
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.

Did u have permission to film on these? Filming can be very dangerous. Also Eagle was built in 1981 so it is in no way one of the oldest or first coasters built.
Kyle’s hair after that one coaster ! Too funny 😂
This vlog was so much fun to watch... I just saw it for the second time today! 😁
My mom's best friend from collefe used to work there when she was a teen & we took a trip it was her, her mom, my mom, & we loved it! And fhen I went again in 2015 with my mom, my brother, & my best friend & I love this park so much more than my home park, Six Flags St. Louis.
@Bethany Robben I got a ?
A few of those rides have been around since the park opened in 1976.
Kyle, many of the dark rides and animatronics at sixflags are made by a company called Sally Corp. in Jacksonville, FL. They do tours all summer as well so that might be something cool to check out.
Eagle, used to be my favorite ride. Raging Bull is now. They used to race the trains. One year they had the trains going in reverse.🎉
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.
