Hello fans of Six Flags Great America:
OVERVIEW:
Today we have some very exciting news about the changes we have in store for the park in the 2017 season. We are breaking park records with the addition of Le Serpent. The tallest roller coaster to attack Illinois is upon us! Next year, it will be your duty to conquer the foul beast. For now, you must prepare yourselves for the treacherous journey into the depths of the swamp. Travel 300 feet into the air before plummeting 280 feet at an 80 degree angle reaching speeds of 90 MPH. Fly over the pond, keeping the aquatic monster just out of reach and soar over two floater airtime hills before catching a break. Just when you think the ride's over, swoop down into Le Serpent's territory with overbanked turns. After passing through a tunnel (designed to look like the predator's mouth), you hit two bunny hills before pulling back into safety.
TRACK AND TRAINS:
Le Serpent will be manufactured by B&M and have black supports, dark green track, as well as a royal blue spine. Trains will feature 10 rows with 4 seats per row sporting "clamshell" restraints. Seats will be black, gray, or green. Restraints will be yellow.
SPECIAL EFFECTS:
The lift hill will have speakers that grunt like Le Serpent and will light up red at night along the left side of the track. At the bottom of the first hill, a photo is taken. After the first brake run, fog will be found within the depths of the murky swamp. water will flow as it did previously on Roaring Rapids. Strobe lights will flash from within the tunnel. The brakes will feature white LED lights. The station will have blue LED lights.
STATION:
10 rows of air gates found on right side on station. Each row can hold up to four people with the exception of rows 1 & 10. Row 1 follows the outer wall back to the entrance to the station and can hold 32 people. Row 10 goes straight back to the entrance of the station and can hold 8 people. An employee will control the flow of guests going into the station. Three groups of cubbies are found on the left side of the station, one per train. Exit ramp with ADA access found in the back-left area of station and leads to a new gift shop called Le Souvenirs Shoppe.

Total Cost: $25 million

THIS POST IS READY FOR JUDGING
