- Tag along as I tour the #MaxxForce construction site at #SixFlagsGreatAmerica and get an up close look at the trains for the new launch coaster. We also talked with park president Hank Salemi about the progress on the construction and when the ride might open.
More details from my visit coming on my Coastin' the Country podcast.
What the hell guys! The Maxx Force trains are so damn good! I am blown away! This ride keeps looking better every freaking week! Thanks for this video Marcus! :D
same trains for steel curtain (but with different theming on them)
@@dapperloser3025 that's interesting. I didn't know that.
Get it built like Cedar Fair. This is why Six Flags is a joke.
Just a shame it has seatbelts.
Kieran Fulcher. Well if for some reason the lap bars fail. At least you have your seat belt to protect you
Looks great! I'm eagerly waiting for this to open!
So excited for this, I got a season pass for the summer
Proxima Midnight same, but if this is worse than raging bull I know I can’t do this, as raging bull was bad, but x flight is the best ride idk if this will take over x flight and it looks pretty fun!!!
Mystical Diamondash Well it’s hard to say, it should be the same close to the same speed as raging bull except, it will jerk you really fast from the start, but if you can take the x flight loops then you can take these loops
Proxima Midnight same here man just went for my first time probably one of the best days of my life
Zakaria George is it opened yet?
Mystical Diamondash no not yet, they are still working on it
The trains remind me of the ones on Hypersonic XLC
It’s just the seats not really anything else
I sat in the same seat as the thumbnail
awesome first look at the mxx force roller coaster trains at six flags great america !!!
I’m hyped for this ride
Heading up there tues. 3rd time since since april. Been seeing the stages each visit. Love Six flags!
WOAH those trains are wicked!! I’m so excited I can’t wait!!!!!
The one is illinois is actually still under construction
Duh. Doesnt open til around june 20
30 prob
F.B.I pretty sure they know and Me
Heavenlee joy no July 4th
It opened July 3rd
Was there yesterday, cant wait for it to open!
I work at Hometown Fun Machine which is right next to the Whizzer and it was really cool seeing the process of them building it. Although it was annoying when people would just come to my station to ask when Maxx Force would open.
Thanks for the report!!!
Also the structure for that tophat angle dive immelman looks sick
I find it interesting that the actual ride has 4-car trains when the animation showed 3-car trains.
CrashCoaster hmmm I didn’t notice that!
Bruhhh!! I didn’t even notice that! Good fucking eye!
CrashCoaster probably to increase capacity, since sfga can get really packed, this thing has to be able to get riders through that line quickly
CrashCoaster oh no one extra car train.....what are we gonna do!!
This is sad that you find this interesting
It opens on July 4th! Recall: In the 1977 movie Rollercoaster, Magic Mountain's 'Revolution' opened on July 4th......to unfortunate results.
I'm going to Six Flags on June 2nd, I was hoping to get on Maxx Force, but maybe next year.😊
me too
maxx force is opening july 4th
this july 4th 2019
On our way next month👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
The workers working on the ride seem so nice by letting you sit on it
Contortion 1011 They were awesome! I try not to get in their way too much, but it was very nice of them to open the restraints for me. And hey maybe that helped them test them a bit!
Even though I will never have the guts to ride this, it looks epic!
Do it. You won't regret it i promise
manuel alcantar dude, I cant even handle the Little Dipper
@@arachnohumanoidpolymultiverse trust me trust yourself fear is s mind thing. It does not feel like u think it does. Lost my fear at 24 and am absolutely sad i didn't do it before didn't ride some coasters that no longer exist
manuel alcantar if you were me you’d know how I feel about rollercoasters. I’m more into rides that spin super fast.
Man they really squeezed a hell of a ride in that small plot
Jason D It really is a creative use of a small space.
@@MarcusLeshock Them incorporating the scenic train and the proximity to raging bull will make the ride twice as good in my eyes.
I worked there so I'll be one of millions of people. To ride it 😊
Zuillx no you don’t work there anymore
Pretty cool you get to sit in it while they work on it. Look like an awesome coaster!
ICaughtYouBASStard That was really neat! I try not to get in the way too much lol.
MAN O MAN, THE KIDS CAN'T WAIT FOR THE GRAN OPENING OF MAXX FORCE...SIX FLAGS ROCKS!!!!!
G5famfuntube Hopefully soon!
Excited!!
I have a season pass to great America this summer and this is confirmed epic
That is at six flags not great America but same I’m going soon
Wassup Brooo buddy have u been it’s literally almost done it’s like the tallest thing at great America
Wassup Brooo it’s six flags great America not just “six flags”
@@user-sd2gv8vz8f stop bullying the poor guy 😂
Wassup Brooo it’s at Six Flags Great America
Can't wait to see you ride this, lol
The launch track is soooo short. It almost looks impossible that Maxx Force will reach 78 MPH is that distance.
78 MPH in 2 seconds is gonna be the best experience hopefully. Lets hope it isnt a painful experience
@@danielyatsyshyn2742 And that's not even the most intense acceleration that exists. Do-Dodonpa at Fuji-Q Highland goes 0-112 in 1.8 seconds.
Nobody will ever understand the line to the Whizzer yesterday. It spanned all the way back to the flash pass building. The sky trek tower was closed and Maxx Force is still closed for commercial shooting so all I could assume was everybody wanted to get a good look at the ride. XD
Why can’t Six Flags get there stuff together? Cedar Fair has long had most of their new attractions open, even in Canada where the climate was colder! Six Flags use to be the best regional park for innovation AND on time rides (for the most part) but over the past few seasons they have gotten slower and slower!
Because now they intentionally wait a while after the park opens for the year (they usually like to open new rides on Memorial Day weekend, when possible) to get a second attendance draw, thus earning them more money.
what goldranger said, this was an intentional decision. not to mention complaining here is pretty stupid, The rides ARE on time from when they planned to open it and this is a pretty innovative ride. Like this ride is getting so much hate for no reason, it's insane.
This has usually been the case for most sixflags parks long before this trend of adding new additions has been in to play. I thought I wish they would pick up the pace but i feel its worth the wait lad. Specially since cedar fair isn’t opening any coasters better than this as of this year
@@RedPandaStan What's innovative about Maxx Force? Don't get me wrong it looks good but nothing innovative about another S&S air launcher
Nice video! Can't wait to ride this coaster!
Holy shit the hand and head chopper on the launch because of the tunnel
🤣
My friend that lives right behind me built this ride his company is sky high coasters
The Sky High team is great!
That’s cool!
Bro I wish roller coasters would have seatbelts like that... it’d make me feel so much more protected even tho it may not do much but i mean I’ll easily keep my hands up the whole entire time knowing 100% that I ain’t gonna fall out 😂
gray I feel protected on the demon
Cool
Will the front of the train stay bare like it is currently?
TheJewelOfJool Good question! I am told there are other pieces coming for the train ... but I don’t know what they are exactly and where they are going. I think it is mostly decorative stuff. I’ll try to get an answer.
Testing just started yesterday
Was there today. Kept breaking down.
Awesome 👏
The GP was so scared!!!
Sad that this is almost finished while here in California Six Flags Magic Mountain is so far behind with Construction on West Coast Racers that it is a Joke at this Point.
Ye
AHHHHHH IM SO FREAKING EXCITED FOR THIS RIDE🤪😱😱😱😱😱😱 I’ve been on all of the rides here and I can’t wait for this
this is the one at my great america
Those trains would look great if the fucking workers weren't having mudball fights on them.
Seriously though, those are pretty pristine and open. I hope they're comfortable.
Has anyone at Six Flags told you if there's going to be any theming in the queue or station? Thanks :)
It's Six Flags. What do you think?
@@sharkheadism Means nothing. Look at X-Flight, there's some theming there. Not asking for high level theming
@@hagoween Then you're not asking for theming.
@@sharkheadism Whatever you say!
@Jesuslover52 Interesting
I wanna go back to Great Adventure. Ugh!
Its beautiful
I WAS JUST THERE AAH
When will it be ready?
Probably around 4th of July
Dope bro
Anyone know when the ride will be done?? I am going the first week in August and does anyone know if it will be done by then
Kiona Smedbron yes it will be done :). they are saying mid or end of June !!
When is the maxx force supposed to be finished
Idk
early summer
July 4 (no dates yet but is supposed to open in a festive weekend) so July 4
When will it be opened?
Almost double of my subscribers!! Nice amount you have 4,053 me haz 2,34- something
Why not call it 6F chicago? i had to google the name to see where this is at
MMM mm Six Flags Great America is better
Because the name of the park is "Six Flags Great America"... It has never been named "Six Flags Chicago".
Then put Six Flags Great America (Chicago) so everyone knows where it is at without having to look it up
@@mmmmm5556 But that is not the name of the park. It never has been. Just because you don't know doesn't make it everyone else's responsibility to tell you.
@@redman822 I didn't say it was the name of the park. I'm suggesting to the channel to put the city in the title. Most people don't have all the cities with their parks memorized.. so it's helpful to the masses.
Oo I saw dat last time
2:04 is that dave from gta v?
I work there
Never understood what the purpose of shin guards is? I feel like theres a much more comfortable way to limit your legs from getting out of the car
Viddying Well These weren’t super tight though.
I think the shin guards in this case arent for limiting your legs from getting out of the car and more to stop stupid people from having their feet forward when the car launches and slamming them back into the seat.
You can use them to not get stapled
Bruh Sound efffect 2 good point
Pretty much the same trains as Steel Curtain but different lap
I was there yesterday with my school lmao
The Federal mandate for seatbelts does nothing to improve ride operations. In the UK we generally don't have them
Omg loop d loops with only a lap thing. How is that even legal? That’s so dangerous
Nyko yes they are. It’s goes upside down dumbass. That’s called a loop. And how is it NOT dangerous??
I cant complain how long this ride lasts.
Ask my wife
Bbb
those stupid shin gards...
Six flags sucks. Already June and still not open...pathetic
