Jahommie's Haven>Shockwave
A ride on the Shockwave at the Six Flags Great America can be a thriller. That is unless you are feeling a little under the weather...or perhaps, ate a full breakfast right before embarking on this adventure. Let me describe to you a time when this roller coaster thrilled me a little too much.
My View- The physical effects of this ride can almost be as bad as the emotional ramifications.
Brett's View- My companion, Brett, was quite pumped up by the ride, until I showed him how I felt about it.
Ride Operator's View- For a ride operator, there is no such thing as a routine day on the job.
Six Flags Great America (Illinois) Features information on pricing, hours of operation, and roller coaster specifications. Also gives a sneak peak at Deja Vu, the newly built thriller.
Thrills, Chills, and Spills- Historical background on the evolution of roller coasters. Pictures of some of the all-time roller coaster thrillers.
