New for 2026

The Giga can be as tall as Sky Trek (330 Feet?). That would surpass Fury 325.

I'm wondering where it's going to go! Maybe around the perimeter?

ChicagoCoasterGuy - I believe what you're saying. You have inside info......


A Giga would be the "WOW" ride that our park doesn't have. But don't sell our lineup short! I've talked with people who came to ride Goliath, X Flight and Maxx ( in addition to the other rides).

And hey, if we have to remove Little Slipper to make room for the Giga or new/delayed kids area, so be it!

Maybe we send Joker to Frontier City and bring back Ragin Cajun!

I also could see Giant Drop coming down to make way for the Skyscreamer from SFA. Giant Drop (or Generally Down as I've nicknamed it) rarely seems to run the 5 working cars and the 6th car is either removed or parked at the top. It seems like it's down often for "Weather" (when in reality its LOP - Lack of Personnel, as told to me by an operator a couple of years ago) and it rarely has a line except during Fright Fest. I hope I'm wrong since I love the ride!! SFStl removed their drop tower a couple of years ago. SFA has Voodoo Drop (smaller version of Giant Drop)

Brother, you're getting your hopes up a bit too high

I'm glad to see the go karts go.

The go karts and Kidzopolis are the two biggest eye sores in my opinion.

Whatever replaces the go karts, be it a new kids area, Rides from Six Flags America, a launched mine train coaster. Whatever, make it look nice!

Same thing with Kidzopolis. That area of the park should look beautiful. Fountains Infront of the American Eagle, concrete walkways, flat rides, a modern restaurant. Instead it looks like a half assed outdoor baby section from JC Penney

Kidzopolis is really bad, especially with the permanent fright fest house there they don't bother to remove seasonally anymore because reasons.

Camp Cartoon is slowly catching up with how worn down it looks. Sprocket Rockets being the only outlier.

Also a Giga is kinda pointless there's only so much that you can do with it until it doesn't feel special.

Absolutely no one says Raging Bull isn’t special. Your opinion is no doubt in the minority here. Everyone that loves thrilling roller coasters wants a Giga over kids rides at Great America.

Also, the only way this thing will fit is if most rides in the park already get torn out or they do something in the parking lot (which i don't think they'll sacrifice more spaces just to have people who are parking further walk longer). I don't think this thing will be as long too so you guys are gonna be underwhelmed either way if it happens

If they can make Wrath fit, I’m sure they can make the Giga fit. And then when that happens, people will complain because they’re underwhelmed? How much do you think the park cares when people say Goliath is too short of an RMC? They don’t care, and the ride is one of the most popular in the park.

The Giga will be popular too if it’s a good ride.

To me Goliath has aged like Milk. I can't even ride it on a wheel seat anymore without feeling battered. For me it's kind of front row or bust.

I won't go anywhere near the back of the train.

I find there's a 50/50 chance whether the ride will be rough no matter which seat I'm in. Haven't ridden front row yet since there's always a grouper at the station. Is it just me or does the grouper only honor row requests when you have a Flash Pass/Fast Lane? When I request a row, I'm always denied besides when I had a Flash Pass. Requested the back and no questions were asked. Could just be me though.

Yep especially later in the season.

Just try to avoid wheel seats on Goliath. That's the only for sure way for me to have a smoother experience.
