Sprocket Rockets is a steel roller coaster located at Six Flags Great America in Gurnee, Illinois, USA. Opened in 1998, it is located in the Camp Cartoon sub-section of Yukon Territory.

The ride was originally named Spacely's Sprocket Rockets from 1998 to 2017, with a The Jetsons theme.^[1] In 2018, the ride was renamed to simply "Sprocket Rockets". This was due to the expiration of Six Flags' Hanna-Barbera license. The ride's color scheme and theming was not changed.
