Episode 04: Shockwave at Six Flags Great America
Really excited about this episode because we are joined by Josh from from Made to Thrill. With Six Flags Great America being Josh's home park, seemed like the perfect opportunity to have him on to share his thoughts and memories about Shockwave.
Making it's debut in 1988, Shockwave debuted at Six Flags Great America as the tallest looping coaster in the world. It also broke the record for most inversions on a coaster in the world with 7. Plagued with many mechanical issues and low ridership due to discomfort, it was inevitable that this coaster would meet it's demise sooner rather than later.
If you had the chance to ride this coaster we'd love to hear your thoughtsand memories. Be sure to comment below and let us know your thoughts about Shockwave.
Thanks to Josh for joining us on the episode. Be sure to check out madetothrill.com for some awesome amusement park and roller coaster inspired goods.
