Six Flags Great America will introduce a brand new triple-record-breaking wooden

[MCLFLN]

I saw the commercial for this the other day. My first thought was this was probably in direct response to Outlaw Run...?

I wouldn't say a direct response, they've been working on this for years. The next biggest, baddest roller coaster is always on the way. These records won't last long either.

I love the way this one looks though. I'll probably plan a trip up there in a couple of years when there's something else to spread the crowds from it a bit. I'm sure it'll have long lines for a long time.

I should plan a trip as well, I have never lived closer to Great America than I do now.

[Swoosh]

I plan on getting up there before the end of the season.
