Raging Bull (roller coaster)

Raging Bull is located in the Southwest Territory section of Six Flags Great America, situated between Viper and the giant helix on American Eagle. It was built on the site previously occupied by Rolling Thunder, a bobsled roller coaster moved from Six Flags Great Adventure in 1990 and later relocated to The Great Escape & Splashwater Kingdom in 1996. Raging Bull's station is designed to have a run-down appearance. The track is painted orange with unpainted rails and wine-colored supports.[1]

On June 15, 2016, Six Flags announced that Virtual Reality (VR) would be added to the ride later in the year.[2][3] The VR experience didn't last long on the rides that offered it across the Six Flags chain, however, due to slower load times and longer lines, as well as additional staffing to distribute and sanitize each headset.[4][5]

As the train exits the station, it makes a left turn and a small dip before ascending the lift hill. At the 202-foot peak (62 m), the train traverses a pre-drop into a brief straight section of track, before making a 208-foot plunge (63 m) into a tunnel, reaching speeds of up to 73 mph (117 km/h). The track then ascends into a hammerhead turn to the right. After the turnaround is a parabolic hill with a trim brake on the uphill side. This is followed by another hill that banks left over the station area, a dip under the lift hill, and another hammerhead turn to the left. The train then makes a right-hand uphill turn into a mid-course brake run. Dropping off the mid-course brakes, the track passes the on-ride camera. This is followed by an airtime hill and a three-quarter turn to the right, wrapping around the first drop and diving into a figure-eight turn. Exiting the turn, the train rises uphill and enters the final brake run before returning to the station.
