The Maxx Force Roller Coaster at Six Flags Great America, Gurnee, Illinois

One thing that I wanted to mention before we are done with Maxx Force was our second ride.  As we sat there patiently waiting to launch Bond mentioned that this launch was no big deal.

Preparing to be shot out like a cannon ball I had my head back and rams mostly down I had a second to comment "are you nuts" before we were catapulted up to seventy-eight miles an hour in under two seconds.

As the slam of the launch kicked in Bond was thrown back into the seat and a scream of pure terror roared out of his mouth as the ride reminded him that Maxx Force was no gradual launch.  Needless to say when we finished our day on our third ride he respected Maxx Force's launch.

Finishing up the twenty-three second ride on Maxx Force there is another brief moment of bliss as the train heads up into a dive loop...

...where you just hang there with nothing but a lap bar holding you in.
