Prepare to achieve new altitudes on Sky Striker, a high-flying, soaring adventure. Sky Striker will send you into the clouds as you swing back and forth on its massive pendulum, creating the ultimate stomach-drop feeling as you touch the sky.
Hold on tight as Sky Striker takes you 172 feet into the air, swinging through the sky at speeds of up to 75 miles per hour. Take in unique views of Six Flags Great America as you soar along 130-degree swings of the towering pendulum, nearly going upside down.
As you swing through the clouds you will also spin, adding even another dimension to this maximum-thrills experience. This first-of-its-kind ride for the park creates a freefall sensation like no other. As Sky Striker lowers you back down to earth, you’ll already be raring to go on your next journey through the sky.

Some time, on way to successful, first of steps of all of the steps to being successful steps are hardest of all of the steps to successing.
So is the ride 172 feet tall, or is it < 172 and with the greater than 180 swing arc you reach 172 feet?

It's swings up to 172ft in the air at full swing! So excited for this. Love the colors, the logo, & the original name. This is going to look fantastic where it's going & due to its location, I'm def (hoping) thinking Revolution is out. It just wouldn't make any sense. Really hoping it has its own entrance & sign & they don't reuse the AE & DDD building. That thing is so old. It would be amazing if they did an amazing arch for the new ride & AE like AE iused to have. I miss that entrance.
It would be cool if they put the entrance for Sky Striker here and ran the queue line under X-Flight. 
as much as I agree with you, I think its safe to say it's going to re-use Dive's.
"I've been told that some part of every wish will be heard but lately I lost sight of the truth in those words."
I'm hopeful they make a whole new entrance. They gotta tear out the current AE/DDD Entrance. It's old. Still can't believe to this day they got rid of AE's old arch. That's what they need to rebuild but LOL yeah right. I dream of the 400ft "Great American SkyScreamer". x
