Raging Bull is a steel roller coaster located at Six Flags Great America in Gurnee, Illinois, United States.

Raging Bull has been well received by guests and critics, consistently ranking among the top fifty steel roller coasters in Amusement Today's Golden Ticket Awards.

[1] Raging Bull was announced on October 21, 1998, set to become the tallest, fastest, and longest roller coaster at Six Flags Great America, and the first hypercoaster to feature a twister layout.

[3][4] To make way for the construction of this themed land in 1996, Rolling Thunder, a bobsled roller coaster, was removed from the park and later relocated to Six Flags Great Escape.

The repainting process, as outlined in a CNBC feature on the company, involves cleaning the structure, applying primer to key areas, then using brushes and rollers for the final coat.

[8] Patented by Bolliger & Mabillard in 1999 for use on Raging Bull and Apollo's Chariot, each seat is equipped with a "clamshell" lap bar that secures passengers by contacting their thighs and stomach.

Compared to over-the-shoulder restraints, the "clamshell" lap bar is designed to enhance the sensation of freedom, improve physical comfort, and allow riders to raise their arms.

[5][24] Marketed as a novelty upon the coaster's opening, the side-less design of the trains was intended to create a sense of vulnerability and make the ride more thrilling.

[27] Raging Bull uses heartlining – banking the track around a point approximately level with riders' hearts – to provide a smoother ride experience.

[26][28] Raging Bull is located in the park's Southwest Territory, a themed land based on cattle towns of the American West during the 19th century.

[8][9][4] Raging Bull features a twister layout which the park describes as similar to a "wooden 'cyclone-style' roller coaster",[3] while still incorporating elements typical of hypercoasters, such as camelback hills designed to provide riders with airtime.

[4][32][33] The ride additionally features a 208-foot (63 m), 65-degree drop from its 202-foot (62 m) chain lift hill,[8] which leads into a 6-foot-deep (1.8 m), 127-foot-long (38.7 m) tunnel,[26] where the coaster reaches its top speed of 73 miles per hour (117 km/h).

[5][8] On May 3, 2003, 11-year-old Erica Emmons from Gary, Indiana, collapsed on Raging Bull's exit platform after becoming unresponsive while riding the coaster with her aunt.

[34][35] After being assisted out of her seat, a ride supervisor trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) attempted to revive her for approximately ten minutes.

[45] From 1999 to 2022, Raging Bull consistently ranked among the top fifty steel roller coasters in Amusement Today's Golden Ticket Awards every year the poll was run.
