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

My guess is that Maxx Force will be going well over seventy miles an hour as you speed through this corkscrew.  You are going to speed through that so fast the world is going to whip right around in the blink of an eye.

Reading up on Maxx Force I was a little confused.  Maxx Force supposedly has five inversions and I had to go and really study my photos because you have two inversions on the high point and then the corkscrew and then there is the reverse Immelmann before you hit the brakes.  That brings the inversion count to four.

Maxx Force will invert you as it heads up into the reverse Immelmann but half the way up by the looks of it you roll out enough to not be considered inverted before rolling back upside down before diving down into the brakes.

Maxx Force looks like fun and I wish I could ride it but my guess is we won't be riding this until mid-July.

Looking at the ride I have to say that Maxx Force is going to be an intense and fun but short ride.

Wanting to get a few photos of Viper and Raging Bull from a different angle I left Bond to lap on Raging Bull while I headed down into Hurricane Harbor.  I do have to say that I was a little surprised to find that Hurricane Harbor is now a separately gated part of the park.  This was no big deal for me as I have a pass.  I don't know how many years Six Flags Great America has this as a separate attraction but my guess is they did it due to the massive crowds that it would get.  More than a few times while visiting Six Flags Great America I have seen the line for Hurricane Harbor all the way out of the Southwest Territory practically to The Whizzer.

The reason I took a break from coasters with my boy (Bond camped out of Raging Bull) was to snag a few photos  of Viper and Raging Bull.
