As much as i agree with this video the park really needs a smooth, airtime, drawn out/long ride. The last 10 years has been nothing but short, compact, and intense. My ideal prediction would be a CCI American eagle refurbishment with new trains in 2022. The entrance area near American eagle can use a revamp, especially the que line!!!

Well Great America is my park and I have ridden every roller coaster there and love the new thrills. I got to ride max force 3 times in the 2019 season and it was amazing. I definitely agree with your theory on keeping American Eagle considering it is one of the oldest ones in the park. Yes it might be a little bit bumpy at some parts but it is a lot of fun to ride and the historical value definitely will keep it running for as long as they can. I would be sad though if they took out Vertical Velocity because it is one of my favorite rides but then again considering in the summer I go once a week at least to Great America I can say it does break down a lot.

First thing to note, an out and back racing RMC hybrid is very different from a RMC giant twister wooden coaster. The out and back would focus more on airtime than inversions like Goliath. I don't get why people keep comparing the two. Second thing, the Eagle needs whole parts if it its structure redone. That's whole reason why they can't race it anymore. It wouldn't be a simple retrack it would be tearing huge sections out of the coaster and redoing. Tons of money right there. At that point you might as well go with an I box conversion. Third thing, they were going to convert it to an Iron horse track. But they went witu Goliath instead. My guess would be because at the time, Six flags didn't want to fork out the money. Now after seeing west coast racers, I believe it is possible. And the issue with a lot of your predictions is space. There is literally no more space for the park to expand without removing an attraction. Even more of a reason that an RMC conversion is more likely.

Your Axis argument makes the most sense as to why they would make that investment over the other options and I think having an actual prototype build can help give confidence since building a model that is new but has a physical example that it works is less worrisome than not even having a prototype. And they have the relationship with S&S that Cedar Fair doesn't, making it feel like it's going to be something more unique to their chain as well. I also think they'll look at whether or not Jersey Devil increased attendance for GaAdv when it comes to that option. But like...bring something to SF over GA please, we need a launch. T_T

Most of their airtime-based coasters aren't really all that modern, so I think the park would benefit from filling out the full airtime intensity spectrum.

Vertical Velocity Is most likely not going to get removed though because it's actually more popular than even Raging Bull the line is consistently over 45 minutes of wait time. Raging Bull is usually only around a 15 - 20-minute wait when it's only running two trains. And the thing is If people didn't like V2 you wouldn't see that much of the queue filled for the entire day. Another thing to point out is that the only rides at the park that are gentle enough for their younger audience that is just getting into the 48" height range (Excluding anything that would be more intense for younger riders) are American Eagle, Viper, Batman Dark Knight, and Whizzer. If they removed/RMC'ed either of their wooden coasters, it would cause a lot of community backlash due to the lack of rides that are at the park for the younger audiences. In my opinion, I think Demon Is going to be the next rollercoaster to be replaced, in which case it would probably be installed as a hand-me-down coaster at a different park, and there's a there are numerous coaster models that could fit there, but what I think is more likely is Great America reaching out to Vekoma to completely re-track the layout and run the newer Vekoma trains on it. I agree that Eagle, though people don't like it as much as they used to, will remain at its current state for as long as they can possibly keep it running safely. I say this because a lot of people who go to Great America come from the Chicagoland area, so as you are driving down the highway, the first thing you see, other than the 300-foot tall tower rides, is Eagle. if they were to change it in any way it would just look wrong if you saw something else in place of Eagle. And Since Great America was bought by Six Flags, and there is nothing else really in Gurnee, Eagle has basically become one of the most iconic things in Gurnee Illinois.

I also think that a RMC Raptor or Axis is the most likely. RMC American Eagle not so much. Apparently, American Eagle was in big trouble in 1999. Residents who live near the ride complained about noise issues. In the end, the city of Gurnee acted that American Eagle could be preserved, *but no new ride would be allowed to be constructed 500ft *(or around 400, not sure)* from Washington Street*. This poses a problem, since, would a RMC Conversion count as a new coaster? I mean, it probably would. So the city would probably stop Six Flags from doing it due to this agreement. Now, maybe a RMC Conversion isn't counted as a new ride, but I'm not sure, I'm not a judge. But I think it's extremely unlikely it will be RMCed. I think a retracking by RMC could be likely. Something like what they did with Tremors at Silverwood.

S&S Axis would be good, however, I think it'd be a competition on which SF park could get it first. I'd likely anticipate it coming down to either Six Flags Over Georgia and/or Six Flags Magic Mountain getting 1st S&S Axis. Premier Rides coaster, I could see the removal of Vertical Velocity happening. Skyrocket II would make the most sense due to its compact layout. If Six Flags Great America went the West Coast Racers route, SF and Premier would have to get creative with layout. RMC I-Box conversion, I too don't see American Eagle getting RMC'd, and GCI doing retracking work to extend its lease on life. I'd anticipate Viper being a more ideal candidate, however, it'd likely be a clone of SFOG's Twisted Cyclone. Six Flags St. Louis has The Boss, which is rumored for I-Box conversion. RMC Raptor, I could see SFGAM going the Jersey Devil route. Mack Power Splash, if Six Flags Over Texas' new Aquaman coaster is a success, it'll be interesting to see whether SF wishes to order a couple more.

If Six Flags should renew its relationship with Gerstlauer, I could see Eurofighter (cheaper version of B&M dive coaster) being a good fit for SFGAM, or they could go with Zamperla version (along the lines of Luna Park at Coney Island's Thunderbolt coaster). Flat rides... Hopefully SFGAM decides to install a 24-story SkyScreamer ride at some point. Another recent development with SFSL is the closure of their Tidal Wave ride, which could be fueling speculation of them getting RMC Raptor (likely Wonder Woman/Railblazer clone) or Mack Power Splash.

SFGAm isn’t necessarily focused on getting the first of a kind, but certainly variety is key. What SFGAm really has to work off of is how much space they have to play with. They’re 100% developed, and the vast majority of their coasters are compact with small footprints. Only the three coasters built at the beginning (Eagle, Whizzer, Demon) have bigger footprints. That’s the reason why Raging Bull is a hyper twister, not a regular B&M hyper. If anything BIG is happening, it’ll be to American Eagle, whether it’s RMC’d or GCI’d. They don’t race trains anymore because of the structure and the ride is really rough. Otherwise they’re removing one or two other rides to build something smaller.

I disagree with American eagle I think it’s more of a 20% chance because even if they retrack it still won’t duel the reason why it won’t duel is because of structure. And also 2020 is when they had to renew the trains so it would be better if the rmc. Look at twisted colossus it doesn’t break a lot of even.

RMC American Eagle isn’t going to happen. Neither is a new coaster in that spot because of an agreement they have with the city of Gurnee. It specifiaclly states that no new build can replace it because of its proximity to a residential area.

I bet Six flags can probably lobby and win to get something to replace Eagle. Especially with the park paying a large amount of taxes into the town.

Albert Sancho I wouldn’t be suprised if Demon is the next to go. It’s still one of the more popular coasters (last time I was there it had a 45 minute wait) but it is almost as old as I am. Seeing as how it was an opening day attraction (it was originally an Arrow corkscrew before it and its sister coaster at California’s Great America were lengthened into loopers), I think that they are going to try to keep it until the park’s 50th anniversary in 2026.

RMC American Eagle is extremely likely as we know they need to replace the PTC trains soon as they’ve reached the end of their service life. I would expect them to give it the iron horse treatment instead of buying new trains as it would grab people’s attention and most likely bring a better return on investment

This is my home park i was there when it was first open as Marriott's Great America this is for who ever the CEO is stop being Cheap you get what you pay for yeah u have putting a coaster every few years but the price for tickets food etc are ridiculous and with everything going up like gas and travel you need to give meaning the public what it's wants RMC the Eagle haven't you ever heard if you build it they will come we are really sick of the 5 sec Rollercoasters and the clone ones also all of your parks look the same beside of a few rides it doesn't fill like we ever left I'm not going to another six Flags and ride the joker, Batman , Superman, the big. Giant looping Carnival ride that you call a coaster but it's not or Flash then y'all wonder why your Stock has dropped this is the reason now some will argue hey Great. America is a nice park yeah it is but the only way you will see better stock price and not lose Revenue is to stop being Cheap think big because No matter who sits in the CEO seat you will never ever beat Cedar Point or any other park for that matter go Big Or Go Home Six Flags oh and get rid if the Demon please and If you add a new flat ride please add Giant pendulum ride magic mountain has one and does a few other six flag parks we want bigger ride not the small version the ones this needed to be said
