In June 2023, I revisited one of my favorite Six Flags parks, but the day left me with mixed feelings once I left the park. This is my experience.

What's up with all these really long walks to the parks? Uber or taxi unavailable?
Ive been watching for a long time, 14:43 Is the greatest moment in AT history!
Also sorry about all the ops issues and closed rides. The park is really struggling this year. Any given day 5-10 attractions not operating.
When will SFGAm ever redo the Eagle so that BOTH trains can run?
During June goliath was closed for about a week because the lift motor broke, so they replaced/fixed it
I think you went one of the couple days Goliath’s lift broke.
Someone get that baby a train ride already! 😢
Flash pass is almost useless at Great America compared to most parks.
Viper is such an underrated gem, I enjoyed it more than Goliath on my last visit
Great vlog! It was Unexplainably Awesome!
I was just there last month, so I can definitely say it's still great by a lot. However, Goliath was also closed during my visit last month, so that does concern me as to how often it has been open this season. By the way, I had that same issue about rides falsely saying they're closed when I was at Hurricane Harbor the following day. For example, they said Tsunami Surge, Tornado, Wipeout, and a few other rides would be closed, but they were all open.
Great America is my home park, and it's VERY feast or famine. You either get a great day with everything or most rides open OR you get a 2019 Six Flags Fiesta Texas day.
I need you to review La Ronde
So I work there and a couple days before you went goliaths lift motor broke so it was closed for like 2 weeks and you unfortunately went during that time
I still didn’t get a reply
Great video
Coming to Utah lagoon park 2024
Worked at Viper basically all summer long, glad you finally got a good ride on it! Personally think the ride is vastly underrated, but I’ve heard more complaints about it this year due to a pothole in the track. You’d feel it if you sit towards the front and it’s on the third hill.
Sorry that the closure suck this year, it’s been mostly an all year thing except with Goliath, forgot what happened though. A lot of rides have had on and off operating schedules unfortunately due to a multitude of reasons.
Btw, what day in June did you go? I want to see if I was working that day lol
I’ve been told that Sky Trek has been closed for a few years due to the addition of Park WiFi messing with some communication aspect of the ride
Seeing you share your hobby with Sophie is literally the purest thing 🥹 she’s gonna be so grateful for these memories when she’s older & that she has this connection with you!!
SFGAm tip: go when the weather is supposed be to be hot or on June 1-5 because everyone is still in school. Park was dead when I went yesterday (as of writing this comment) and everything was less than a 30 minute wait (even maxx force). Everything was open and running great. Idk why MF is on on train, but it sucks.
Edit: Eagle in the very back right seat is the best.
Every row on viper sucks lol 😂
X-Flight: could be bc it was an outer seat or bc I’m old…yes and yes. Your body is wearing down especially after the long walk to the park. Sorry Chris, that’s life
I will never fully recover from experiencing that first drop on Raging Bull in the last row. Such a violent amount of whip I thought I was gonna be pitched across the freeway. Also agree with your thoughts on Viper 💯 and was so surprised by the force of the pretzel loop on Superman.
It’s my bday today and I love ur content, can u pls pin me?
2nd to back Row on Viper is THE MAGIC SEAT🙌
This year sfgam was chaos from the inside too so you’re not alone
Goliath was getting its lift motor replaced in June, unfortunately. It reopened early July
glad you guys had fun at my home park! the ops were kind of sad to see but I glad you made the most of it. also good golly Sophie I thought your 150 vid was not that long ago and now you are closing in on 200!
I KID U NOT, I SAW U AND SOPHIE TWICE THAT DAY, once when you got off Viper around like 11:30 in the morning , and then around 6 you guys walked past X-Flight and the food court
I just got back from Great America, I was there on July 28th. The only ride closure was Demon, but I was ok with that. Had a mostly good time riding everything, but I purchased the flash pass and regretted it entirely. I may never buy a flash pass at a Six Flags park again. Most ride attendants were either confused or just acted like it was such as a hassle to scan it, and on Goliath they sent me right into the normal que line.
Gosh your vlogs are just getting so top notch. They’ve always been great but man you’ve hit another level. Love it!
My sister made those demon trains look good
This was the first Six Flags park we ever visited (last August) so I joined their Junkies FB group and realized that this summer a lot had changed! We ended up skipping it this year for that reason!
I heard you call the whizzer the Zambezi zinger, have you been to kc to ride the new one yet
In other news, sky trek tower is now open.
