We arrived a little before opening to be one of the first of the day to check out Six Flags Great Escape's latest attraction: The Bobcat.
We ride North America's newest wooden coaster
Great Escape Trip Report Photos Taken: 08/02/2024 Posted: 09/22/2024In this photo update, we return to Six Flags Great Escape about a year from our previous visit when we were sending off the Alpine Bobsled. In its place, a new family thrill ride has been built : The Bobcat. Reusing some elements of its predecessor including the station building is a ground up built and custom-designed wooden coaster from The Gravity Group. The new attraction features two 12 passenger trains. The coaster has a 55 foot lift and goes up to 40mph across 1,412 feet of track.
Follow along as we share about this latest addition to Six Flags Great Escape.
We slipped through the diamond pass holder entrance and made our way towards the new coaster.
The park is a bit of a maze. It is not that straight forward to make it to the back of the park if you are not familiar.
We took some correct guesses and were among the first to head in the general direction of the ride.
One thing we noticed along the way is that a greater emphasis on having the park's special event festival food come out of one place has been made.
There it is!
Unlike the Alpine Bobsled before it, the entrance to this attraction (and its largest and first hill) is visible to all right from the midway.
