Not only is X-Flight a fantastic ride with a perfect mix of inversions, low to the ground bits, a wondrous mix of g forces, close calls with theming and more but it was also placed perfectly inside of Six Flags Great America to give everyone a front seat view of everything the ride in store for them.



A slightly selfish reason to love X-Flight is with two trains that hold thirty-two riders as long as Six Flags Great America isn't packed there is rarely a long wait to take it for a flight.  With no one at the park on this day that meant no wait so I was duty bound to get airborne on X-Flight over and over.



Squeezed between X-Flight and The American Eagle sits the newest addition to Six Flags Great America: Sky Striker.



Sky Striker is a Giant Discovery model ride that is produced by Zamperla.



The Giant Discovery is a pendulum ride where the ride platform swings back and forth while slowly rotating.  While I was hoping to give it a few spins but weirdly it wasn't running at all.  Kind of surprised to see it not running especially since it opened a few weeks before my visit.
