The Raging Bull Roller Coaster at Six Flags Great America, Gurnee, Illinois

While the Giant Drop may take you up over two hundred feet over Southwest Territory before letting gravity take over pulling you plummeting back down the ride that really dominates the skyline is Raging Bull.

When Raging Bull opened in 1999 it was only the second hypercoaster designed by Bolliger & Mabillard.

With a height of two hundred and two feet tall with a two hundred and eight foot drop that is achieved by plummeting into a tunnel Raging Bull achieved its hypercoaster status by breaching that two hundred foot mark.

Most hypercoaster designs, whether they came from companies like Arrow Dynamics, Intamin, Vekoma, Morgan, Giovanola, Gerstlauer, or Mack rides tend to have more of an out and back layout that focuses of speed and airtime.

Raging Bull is kind of the rebel of the litter as its layout is that of a twister.
