Mardi Gras Hangover

Mardi Gras Hangover, Amusement ride at Six Flags Great America, Gurnee, US.

Description

Mardi Gras Hangover was a rotating amusement ride at the park featuring a 100-foot-tall circular track where riders sat face-to-face and swung forward and backward. The ride used motorized wheels to power its movements rather than relying on gravity alone.

History

The ride opened in May 2018 as a replacement for an earlier attraction called King Chaos. It remained in operation at the park until October 2023 when it was decommissioned.

Culture

The attraction incorporated the festive spirit of New Orleans through its name and placement in the Mardi Gras themed section of the park.

Practical

Riders had to meet a minimum height of 48 inches to experience this attraction. The ride accelerated to speeds of up to 30 miles per hour during its operation.

Did you know?

Although frequently marketed as a roller coaster, this ride was actually a motorized rotating device that functioned differently from traditional gravity-based coasters. This mechanical approach allowed for rapid spinning movements without traditional track systems.
