The X-Flight roller coaster at Six Flags Great America, Gurnee, Illinois

Right after squeezing through the control tower a second later you've got another close encounter this time with some supports while you're fully inverted that makes for a great 1-2 punch.

I know it's picture after picture of X-Flight but you ask "what about the rest of the park"?

X-Flight just looks so cool and it's just so photogenic I had a really hard time not posting even more cool pictures of it like this one.

Before X-Flight the site used to be the location of the Great America Raceway.  As you can see not all of the roadway for the raceway is gone.  They just parked all of the cars on it over by the Eagle and bulldozed the rest of the ride.  Hopefully these cars will run again somewhere else in the park.
