This is a animated promo for Six Flags Great Americas newest roller coaster, X-Flight. X-Flight is a B&M Wing-Rider roller coaster, new for 2012. The roller coaster features near miss collisions and 5 inversions, including zero-g rolls and barrel rolls.
PRESS RELEASE
Get ready to take flight!
Defy gravity on our ground-breaking wing coaster with no
track above or below you. Sit in pairs, suspended on either side of the track with your feet dangling as you plunge down 12 stories. Soar at speeds of 55 mph through 3,000 feet of intense drops and five inversions, including a barrel roll and zero-g roll. One of the most adrenaline-pumping moments on the ride is an extreme fly-through where the coaster speeds straight towards a structure, before making a last minute vertical flip to fit through a keyhole cut-out.
Six Flags Great America has a long history of introducing legendary rides and first-of-its-kind roller coasters. We are proud to be the first park in the U.S. to announce plans for a wing coaster. X-Flight is designed by acclaimed Swiss manufacturer Bolliger and Mabillard, who also designed Six Flags Great America favorites: Raging Bull, SUPERMAN: Ultimate Flight and BATMAN: The Ride. X-Flight will make its home in the County Fair section of the park and is scheduled to open spring of 2012.

PRESS RELEASE
WindSeeker will be designed and manufactured by Mondial, a company based in the Netherlands that has been creating thrill rides for the amusement park industry since 1987. Mondial is known for their innovative and unique rides and maintains the highest standards in regards to quality and safety.
WindSeeker will feature 32, 2-person gondolas that will ascend to a height of 301 feet. Once it has reached the top of the tower, WindSeeker will spread its metal arms swinging riders for a 60 second flight at a 45 degree angle at a speed of 8 rotations per minute.
Due to the long airtime, riders will experience a spectacular sense of weightlessness. This, combined with the fact that riders legs will be unrestrained, will create a sense of exhilaration which will enhance the feeling of free flight, said Knotts General Manager, Marty Keithley.
WindSeeker will be located in the Fiesta Village section of the park, nestled between Silver Bullet, Jaguar!, and the Knotts Carrousel. Groundbreaking for WindSeeker began in January 2011 with completion expected by summer 2011.
