Raging Bull is a hyper-twister steel roller coaster located at Six Flags Great America in Gurnee, Illinois. It was built in 1999 by Bolliger & Mabillard, features a 208-foot first drop and top speed of 73 miles per hour, and is currently one of the most popular rides at Six Flags Great America. In addition, it is one of the best rides in terms of operation, with a history of being very reliable. At 5,057 feet in length, it is the longest ride at Six Flags Great America. Raging Bull is North America's first "Hyper-Twister" roller coaster. The first one was Fujiyama at Fuji-Q Highland amusement park, in Japan. Its name is derivative after a ferocious beast that terrorized the citizens of the old Southwest Territory until they fled the town and built the courtyard and mission seen today. It is the biggest rollercoaster in Six Flags Great America which is located in Illinois at Gurnee.
Many roller coaster experts consider the best ride to be found in the back row of the train.
The ride has received a fresh coat of paint for the 2008 season.
