SKY STRIKER Full Ride & Review - Six Flags Great America new pendulum ride 2024
Marcus Leshock takes his first ride on the massive new swinging pendulum ride #SkyStriker and #SixFlagsGreatAmerica in Gurnee, Illinois! I was joined by WGN Morning News anchor Lauren Jiggetts. Video recorded at Sky Striker media day on 6/13/24.

Agreed!
The rides are getting more crazy
Like you, I want to ride it but at 50 I cannot spin anymore! It’s glad to hear your take on that aspect :)
Another great ride review. Hope to run into you at Great America one day
I cannot wait to try a zamperla discovery. Huss ones at cedar point and kings are fun. This looks like it takes it up a notch a bit.
Nice content! I enjoyed it with my elementary school daughter. We want to play here. Thank you very much. Have a nice weekend 🙋♂🙆♀

Thanks for watching!
This was my first 2024 visit for Six Flags and I saw all the signs for media day at Sky Striker I might have just missed a Marcus sighting!!!
My current home park is Magic Mountain so I've been on Crazanity. The ride cycle seems pretty consistent with what we have here. Try Sky Striker at night when you get the chance. :)
I can't wait to try Sky Striker at Six Flags Great America looks like a lot of fun and amazing

So me too!! Hell, I've ridden the front and back of Raging Bull and front of Goliath... but I REFUSE to ride stuff like this, The Lobster, Ricochet, River Rocker ( im ABSOLUTELY terrified of) and Condor lol
It’s ridiculous that they “don’t have an opening date. There are 12 Saturdays including tomorrow that I’ll have a chance to ride this before the end of summer…..
I'd be okay except for the fact that we know that harnesses like those have a habit of maybe sometimes possibly... unlatching. Do they have a secondary restraint system, like a simple lap belt in addition to the harness? Cause if that harness comes open somehow (like happened on a drop ride in Orlando), there is no way in hell a person would be able to hang on and stay there, not with those G-forces. And if that happened, no way they could make it slow down quickly. Gravity sux sometimes. Gonna give this one a pass.
the best describe a giant pendulum ride is a giant swing set at the playground I can't wait to ride it when I go next week

I've ridden similar types at Cedar Point and Kings Island. Sky Striker apparently is even faster and higher than either. It's a ton of fun!
Also I’ll say I hate spinning, I can’t even do teacups. But these rides are amazing!! Really excited as I’ve been on two other ones

Teacups make me so nauseous nowadays lol. However the absolute worst things for me are things that loop upside down. roller coasters are okay but the flat rides...oh boy went to the Wisconsin State Fair and I stupidly went on three of them in a row. Huge mistake lmao
The fact that this ride is still not open is embarrassing for six flags
