Spacely's Sprocket Rockets

Spacely's Sprocket Rockets is a steel roller coaster located in the Camp Cartoon area of Six Flags Great America in Gurnee. The track rises about 27 feet high and features multiple twists and turns throughout its route.

The ride debuted in 1998 as the park continued evolving after Six Flags took over operations from Marriott Corporation in 1984. This growth shaped the modern entertainment destination it is today.

The ride draws its design from The Jetsons animated series, and you can spot futuristic touches and character references throughout the structure. The theme creates a retro-space feeling that shapes the entire experience.

The ride operates from April through November and has height requirements for younger riders for safety. Plan your visit during peak times by arriving early, as wait times can vary throughout the day.

The cars on this ride were specially engineered to keep passengers comfortable while navigating the multiple twists at controlled speeds. This careful engineering allows riders to enjoy the complex layout without excessive jolting.
