@@TheJasonbking at least since the 70s. Nothing about that ride has changed since then, including the queues it seems from the footage at the beginning. It was the same as when I was a kid and Marriott ran things.
@@kickthesky I remember when it was Marriott's. When I was 3, I still have a cup with my name on it that says Marriott's Great America. It has Bugs Bunny's girlfriend on it lol. Bring back that old Great America lol.
The Loggers Run is the other flume intertwined with this one. Both are very similar to one another, but there are a few differences, the main one being the drop. While Loggers Run’s drop is a curved and slow double down, Aqua Man’s drop is one shot and straight and fast. I remember when I was a kid both rides used to use both drop chutes. Sadly they only use one on each ride these days.

@@IheartbkcLogger’s Run is still called Logger’s Run. They changed part of the Yukon Territory and re-themed it to DC Universe, so Yankee Clipper is now called Aquaman: Splashdown
Somebody please tell what makes any of this actually original from when it was Yankee Clipper, the building for queueing and poorly designed flumes screams LAZY to me
I will always call it yankee clipper
😆. Got drenched. Great video. Cool view of the other coasters
And other rides.
When I tell y'all, I literally almost lost my soul and cried.
I rode this exact ride with my mom in chicago
does anyone know why this ride always has such a ridiculously long line? is it hard to send multiple flumes?
Omg soo agree... the line doesn't look long... but takes FOREVER!!
It's been that way for 30+ years...

@@MrMywildsidethanks😊
Im still going to call this Yankee clipper
Lol
Same. It's the Sears Tower of flume rides
I almost missed this ride cuz I didn't know what Aquaman was...good thing my daughter pointed it out. Got splashed worse than I ever remember lol
It's embarrassing they re-named the Clipper without ANY attempt at a re-theme.
This will always be Yankee Clipper!
They gave it a new name, eh?
What was the old name?
@@ILOVEAMERICANEAGLEloggers run or sum like that
I think this one was called Yankee Clipper. The other water ride was Logger’s Run.

@@flyin_with_ryanW😮W
Nice
I prefer Logger’s Run because of the double down on the drop
This looks so fun

hey look it’s me
Was that you at the top?
Awesome!
Yesterday I was at great America on this ride and I was forced to sit in the front seat:(
Ohh that sucks
At least your feet didn't get as wet right?
@cassielsgae no I took my sock off before the ride
i was just there to😂😂😂@@Botvr13
Same
I was on this 5 hours ago
Just rode this!!
I would wake up and here the water splashing
Aquaman!?" We don't call it "Yankee Clipper?" They didn't even re-theme it. Six Flags is pathetic and souless.
I knew it was the Yankee Clipper, thank you!! They did nothing but change the boat lol
