Goliath Media Day at Six Flags Great America, Gurnee, Illinois

I love a good kick in the pants and Vertical Velocity certainly dishes that up when it launches out of the station.

Vertical Velocity races back and forth accelerating as it speeds up to seventy miles an hour.

The New for 2014 Goliath Rollerciaster - Goliath Media Day at Six Flags Great America, Gurnee, Illinois

The forward and reverse launches are fun but I really love plummeting straight down the 90 degree back spike after coasting to a stall.

Logger's Run is an oldie but a goodie.  The expressions on the faces of these two girls are great.

They looked completely freaked out but I bet they were all smiles, laughs and a little damp as they exited the ride ready to go again.  The fun that comes out of a little fear is one of the many reasons people keep coming to parks like Six Flags Great America.
