DoinItForTheFame Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Seems like SFGAm and SFMM are both really pushing the "racing" aspect. Maybe both parks are getting the same cloned racing coaster? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prozach626 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Does SFGam already have racing slides? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B&MGuy35 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Does SFGam already have racing slides? Yes Our park has 2 technically. The drop slides race that were in the first 2 videos and the mat racers as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is an S&S launch. I don’t know what else it could be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCTycoonClassic Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Hometown Fun Machine was also in the video, I totally expect that to be moving to the empty area 175 yards away from the train tracks in order to create more room for Maxx Force.

ilrider Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 ^As long as they do not get rid of it, that is fine with me. I like its location, tucked in by Whizzer, but ya’ gotta’ do what ya’ gotta’ do! The bigger the new ride grows, the more excited I get, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilrider Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 ^I think Maxx Force is definitely the ride name, as we know SF trademarked it, it was in the ride survey, and the male actor was called Max(x) in the 3rd teaser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yubstep101 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 "Flipping out at his arrival" Does that mean if the rumor that this is an S&S Air Launch is true, does that mean it will have inversions? And I guess the teasers have sort of a racing theme to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always wondered why the massive Chinese S&S launchers didn't catch in the States? I mean, they are big, fast, have forceful launches and a decent capacity...

JG-77 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 ^ You're thinking of S&S's thrust air 2000 model which only ever had two of its kind built. oriolat is referring to S&S's new compressed air launched coasters like this one and this one, to give a couple examples. There are currently three of these operating with more under construction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBrylczyk Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 ^ Those are S&S? I figured they were some crap Chinese company that did knockoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JG-77 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 ^ Yeah. Actually, all compressed air launch coasters (at least based on what rcdb says) are/were made by S&S except for this wierd Chinese looping coaster and what looks like a defunct Intamin freefall coaster knockoff.

robbalvey Posted August 30, 2018 Author Share Posted August 30, 2018 (edited) Record-Breaking Launch Coaster to Debut at Six Flags Great America Parks 17th coaster, Maxx Force, Breaks Three Records GURNEE, Ill. — August 30, 2018 — Six Flags Great America, the Thrill Capital of the Midwest, today announced a revolutionary, triple-record breaking, new roller coaster coming to the park in 2019. Maxx Force will be the fastest launch coaster in North America, and feature the fastest inversion and highest double inversion of any roller coaster in the world. “Six Flags reigns supreme for record-breaking, one-of-a-kind rides and world-class thrills,” said Six Flags Great America Park President Hank Salemi. “The new Maxx Force coaster is in a class all by itself, launching riders from 0 to 78 miles per hour in under two seconds. No other coaster in the country accelerates at that blistering speed.” Maxx Force highlights include: - A unique air-powered launching system propelling guests forward at record speeds; - The world’s highest double inversion at 175 feet above the ground; - The fastest inversion on any roller coaster in the world with a 60 miles-per-hour zero-G roll; - Five high-speed inversions; and - One-of-a-kind custom coaster trains modeled after Formula One racing cars Maxx Force will be the park’s 17th roller coaster and is scheduled to debut in summer 2019 in the Carousel Plaza area of the park.

RollingCoasting Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Looks incredible! That launch is going to be insane! Can it be 2019 yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarolinaJay Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 WTF IS THAT LAYOUT?!! I LOVE IT!!! I'll probably won't get to SFGA next year since I'll be studying abroad the Spring/Summer, but FUUUUUCK THAT LOOKS SO AWESOME!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DILinator Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Yeah, this'll get me back to the closest SF park to me next year! With its location near the front of the park, this is going to be a VERY popular coaster for the majority of people to go to first thing! Here's hoping that makes Goliath's lines a little smaller for those of us who would choose to go there first instead! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Coaster Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Looks awesome! I'm most intrigued by that little hill immediately following the launch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
