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

Remember how I said that X-Flight's control tower was one of the coolest themed elements on a coaster? This is why. Yes you "thread the needle" and fly right through it.

Oh, in addition to the cool fly through there's a spinning radar antenna and a few controllers up in the control tower.

You come around a turn and then there's the tower right in front of you and at the last second you start a heart line roll that turns you ninety degrees as you go through the tower.

The control tower just looks super cool. Mega kudos to Six Flags Great America for making this look so cool and be such a fun part of the ride.
