Shockwave at Six Flags Great America, Gurnee Illinois 1988-2002 Gen X quote: “I blacked out on the 2nd loop and rode it 5 more times that day” This was a monster of a ride, the fastest and tallest at the time. 7 inversions. It was big, mean and loud. It was sadly taken down and no one bought it, which is sad as it was best ride there. I went on it 5 times in a row once in the 90’s on a slow day, we just kept running back on. Supposedly it caused some people to have neck pain. I never experienced any. But young Gen X’ers didn’t let things like concussions stop them. #ChicagoHistory ☑️
