History
Planning
Six Flags Great America made previous plans to build a Dive Coaster, a model from manufacturer Bolliger & Mabillard (B&M), at the park. However, the park sought to build a more intense Dive Coaster, so their original Dive Coaster plans were sent to Six Flags Fiesta Texas in San Antonio, Texas, where it opened in 2022 and currently operates as Dr. Diabolical's Cliffhanger
