Spacely's Sprocket Rockets is a steel roller coaster located at Six Flags Great America in Gurnee, Illinois. This is a junior coaster with a height restriction of only 36 inches. It is a Vekoma "roller-skater" model roller coaster. It is located in the Camp Cartoon Network section of the park as the headline attraction.

In August 2006, a girl collapsed in the Camp Cartoon Network section after riding. She would later be pronounced dead due to heart failure. An autopsy showed that she died of a congenital heart condition.

Spaceleys is the second junior-coaster built at the park. The first, was a Bradley & Kaye Little Dipper named Gulf Coaster, however it only operated in the 1976 season. Fires and other issues forced the park to close it.
