Six Flags Great America, Gurnee, Illinois

With that strange "dabbing" interlude over I will get back to gushing over my favorite coaster at Six Flags Great America:  The Whizzer.

The Whizzer is a ride that little kids can get on and giggle and scream.

It brings a smile to those of us more advanced in age as we remember screaming and giggling on The Whizzer when we were young.

The Whizzer is one of those rides that everyone can love and no matter how old it gets this Anton Schwarzkopf designed masterpiece gives rides as good in 2016 as it did when it opened forty years prior.

Out of all of the photos that I took of The Whizzer during this trip this is my favorite because all of us who grew up riding it we have all sped into the brakes with our hands up and the same grin our faces like this little girl has after conquering The Whizzer.
