One of my all-time favorite's! This thing packs one hell of a punch on the launch. If you ever wanted to know what it's like getting shot out of a cannon, here's your chance. The launch is better than Ka, Storm Runner, or ANY LIM/LSM launch in existence. Don't chicken out or give up because of the wait. It's worth it. Pic included of an shirt they've been selling for over a year with the stats listed being hilariously wrong. Have a Six Flags day!

This is an odd coaster: it's very fast (78mph) and rather tall (175ft), but it's super short (23 seconds long) and only runs a single train, so wait times can be substantial. The supports are an eyesore and the compressed air launch is LOUD, so be ready for that. Maxx Force is definitely unique although not a top 5 ride at the park, don't feel bad if you have to skip this one.

This ride is awesome! Riding it the front row is a must no matter how long you have to wait. The launch is definitely my favorite part of the ride, as the acceleration makes it fell way faster than 78 miles per hour. The dog tongue element gave some insane hangtime. The following heartline roll and maxx dive loop both gave great whip and airtime.

I rode Maxx Force for the first time yesterday and I was OUT DONE! I was not expecting this coaster to be so thrilling because looking at vids of the ride does not justify on how thrilling and intense the ride is. The ride is so INTENSE it literally took my breathe away I couldn’t believe it. When I got off the ride it still felt like I was on it. That launch is ridiculous had my heart racing so fast. Definitely the best launch coaster I ever been on even better than Top Thrill Dragster at Cedar Point. Coming out of the dog tongue inversion you pick up so much speed at the bottom I was seeing stars 🤣 that zero G roll BLEW ME THE HELL AWAY!!!!!!!!!! The last 2 inversions were pretty intense too. For this small foot print to come up with a launch with 5 inversions was the best concept they could come up with and I am extremely proud of the park for putting this in. It’s such a beautiful coaster to look at. It fits so good in the skyline. Looking at the skyline from the American Eagle is such a stunning view of Max Force and all the other coasters. Love the direction the park is going and I can see more coasters being built from time to time. Maxx Force is definitely 5 stars on my radar. Well done Six Flags Great...

Alright, this ride is absolutely INSANE!! It has an air compressed launch by S&S that goes from 0 to 78 miles per hour in 1.8 seconds. The launch is like something I have never experienced! I always get startled by it simply because of the speed and the intensity. This launch is insane in any row but in the front row, it is truly special. When you feel it, you will know what I am talking about. The wind against your face is great!! The launch is so insane that it makes this super loud boom noise that can be heard all across the park. This launch is the best part of the ride but, it is not over yet. You then go into a massive dog tounge double inversion at 175 ft tall, then go into a zero g roll at 60 mph, and then goes into a double inversion dive loop. This whole thing goes by in 20 seconds but boy is it a rush. It is consistently the longest line in the park at an hour long minimum. The line moves slowly but that is because of its capacity. The workers here are trying their best to have trains going. Overall, I was BLOWN AWAY by this ride and this is the best rollercoaster at Six Flags Great America! Get out here...

I had my very first ride today. I felt incredibly secure in the seats. The anticipation building up to the blindingly fast launch is incredible. Then it takes off, faster than dragster, and flipped you all over the place this and that. Then you just tear through the corkscrew, and the remaining 2 inversions are still taken at an incredible speed. I am totally Blown Away, of how fast this thing is, and how smooth it is as well! Mr. Salemi, thank you very much for bringing this unbelievable ride to our beautiful Park, and please do whatever you can to keep on bringing more classics to Great America. You are the best in my book. Thank you, and have...
