2:23 As a ride op I can confirm that the main reason rides go down for weather especially tall coasters isnt rain, it's actually lightning. At that height these rides basically act as lightning rods (not the coaster at dollywood) so closing them is ideal, especially since they are mostly made of steel, and electricity travels easily through metal.

LETS GOO!!! My home park! Glad you finally visited, the line up is incredibly deep and one of the only parks I have visited where I can say there’s little to no gaps in the collection

[TheHawk_]

Viper is really good no matter where you sit, but if you sit in the second to front row you get the smoothest experiance with the best airtime

[huntzzio]

“Get ready because this ride goes upside down not once not twice but zero times” lmao best op

[jzckvsn]

Raging Bull looks like an interesting hyper coaster with all of those high off the ground turns and camelback hills

[ThemeParkAvenue]

I’ll watch this when I get a chance but I’m glad you got to visit here! It remains my favorite Six Flags park and I consider it fairly underrated.

The whole park usually doesnt stop for drizzle. Ive spent entire days there in it. Maxx force because of the acceleration makes sense obviously

[toby]

Cedar Fair did not build the Beast at Kings Island. Cedar Fair bought Kings Island 27 years after the Beast opened. The Beast was built by the original Kings Island Company that owned the park from 1972 to 1992.

I live about an hour away from Great America (no one here calls it Six Flags.) We used to go every summer as a kid, and The Eagle was the first 'big kid' ride I rode just as soon as I hit that height requirement (used to try to stand on my tiptoes 😅😆!) That ride will forever be in my memories!

[bobabubbletea]

I’ll never forget the amazing and magical flying feeling you get on Raging Bull. It literally feels like you are flying like a bird out of your seat 🦅

[Jcoaster]

"they are so loaded with coasters it's unfair" explains why I love having it as a home park xD

Also American Eagle is my favorite ride in the park... don't talk shit about a ride until you've actually been on it;)

but also the fact that everyone has a different favorite coaster in this park shows just how solid the collection of coasters is

[BHV]

I freaking love this park. It's my home park (although I'm 2.5 hours away)! The coaster collection is as deep as I've seen one, and each and every single one of them are so fun

[whitesoxonpc]

I go here every year for fright fest and the water near the carousel, they dye it red. I can't wait to go there this year. I'm going in less than a week.

[arloproduction]

It is my home park and I went the second week it was open and it rained the whole day and only maxx force was closed. I have never had a problem with rain at the park

[mitchellries]

It's great to see that you finally made it out here. It's currently my second favorite Six Flags park behind Magic Mountain. The ride lineup at this park is ridiculously awesome.

[OneoleTenor]

My home park!! One of thee best Six Flags Parks!!! Now i need to visit for sure!!!

[aliciaschwartz]

Being from Florida, the rain thing totally floored my family and I. I get lightning delays, but not rain for 90% of coasters

[mikemando]

As a kid at great America here in California. I won a bunch of stuffed animals and rode their whizzer with a car just me & car full of stuffed animals. No restraints all survived!

[alexis_irene]

Raging Bull ❤. American Eagle is one of my favorites in the park. Back row isn’t too rough for me. It was insane when they ran it backwards!!! Glad you had a great time 🎉

[huntzzio]

7:45 Same! That’s why when i went to BGT this week i was excited for Cobras Curse. Love that thing!
