The Sky Whirl at Six Flags Great America, Gurnee, Illinois

Where else can you sit down for 14 minutes on a ride without stopping now that Sky Whirl is gone.

Not only did you get a great view from the cars but you also got cooled off with a nice breeze.

This is my wife Carrie, my son Bond and myself on one of our last rides on the Sky Whirl.

About the only other ride at Six Flag's Great America where a family of all ages can ride and have a good time is the train ride and the carousel.  Bond really enjoyed the Sky Whirl.  He loved the view and it got him out of the stroller.

Well Six Flag's if you're reading I'd love to have one of the car's from the Sky Whirl.  So just contact me if you have any extras.  All in all I'll miss the Sky Whirl.  It was the perfect place to sit down and have a relaxing moment with friends and family.  I miss the Sky Whirl.  The park won't look right without it.
