Giant Drop at Six Flags Great America – Height Requirements & Ride Guide

What to Expect on Giant Drop
Giant Drop at Six Flags Great America is a free-fall drop tower ride that stands at 227 feet, making it one of the tallest rides in the park. Riders are seated in a circular arrangement, slowly lifted to the top of the tower, providing a panoramic view of the surrounding area. After reaching the peak, there is a brief pause before the floor beneath the seats drops away, sending riders plummeting back to the ground in a rapid free-fall. The experience is characterized by a feeling of weightlessness and adrenaline, finishing with a smooth, controlled deceleration. Safety restraints ensure a secure ride experience, and the attraction is designed for thrill-seekers looking for a high-stakes experience. Height restrictions apply, typically requiring riders to be at least 54 inches tall.
