Media Day For The New For 2012 X-Flight Rollercoaster at Six Flags Great America in Gurnee, Illinois

One critique of B&M's designs of the last few years is that they've become forceless but that's not the case with X-Flight and it pushes you, pulls you and whips you around.

On X-Flight's 3,000 feet of track there isn't a dead moment as there is always something happening.

My favorite type of inversion is an Immelmann; which is named after an maneuver devised by pilots during the First World War that made it so a pilot could quickly reverse course and attack his pursuer.

Of course with X-Flight being themed to military aviation what a perfect element to add to the ride.

Oh every once in a while the mister that was part of the rides head/foot chopper elements went kind of crazy covering large parts of the ride in fog giving me the chance for this nice shot.
