The Flash: Vertical Velocity, Steel roller coaster at Six Flags Great America in Gurnee, US.
The steel inverted roller coaster features two vertical towers reaching 186 feet and launches riders to speeds of 70 miles per hour.
Opening in 2001 as Vertical Velocity, the coaster received red support beams and transformed into The Flash: Vertical Velocity during 2022.
The rebranding connects the attraction to DC Comics universe, incorporating The Flash superhero theme throughout the station and ride experience.
The seven-car train accommodates 28 riders per cycle, requiring passengers to measure between 54 and 80 inches in height for safety.
