The Goliath Roller Coaster at Six Flags Great America, Gurnee, Illinois

Despite being too short Goliath is an insanely fun coaster by the twisted minds of Alan Schilke and Rocky Mountain Construction.  I would have more photos of Goliath but I was having too much fun riding coasters over and over with Bond to get any more.

Speaking of my boy here is Bond while we wait for one of our many rides on Vertical Velocity.

With a quick but intense ride even if we didn't have the Flash Pass Vertical Velocity would have been easy to ride over and over.  For a while there Six Flags purchased several of these coasters.  I wouldn't mind if they bought some more and added one to parks like Six Flags St. Louis.

The Joker and Batman roller coaster at Six Flags Great America, Gurnee, Illinois

I was trying to get a nice photo of The Joker from over on the Whizzer's station but Batman had to photobomb the Joker.

I am glad seeing Six Flags adding these S&S Sansei 4d free spin coasters to their parks.  They take up a small plot of land and with each seat hitting the magnets that flip the seats differently there is a huge variety of ride packed into The Joker's 1,019 feet of track.
