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 the Hanna-Barbera license by Six Flags. The ride's color scheme and theming was not changed.
Design
After the train climbs the lift hill, riders travel through several of twists and turns before reaching the brake run.
Trains
Single train with 8 cars. In each car, riders are arranged 2 across in a single row, for a total of 16 riders per train.
