Southwest Territory is a Wild West themed land at Six Flags Great America in Gurnee, Illinois.

Set in an 1800s themed Wild West town, the area features six attractions, including the roller coasters Raging Bull and Viper, along with multiple flat rides such as Chubasco and Ricochet.

Manufactured by the Swiss firm Von Roll, the Southern Cross was one of the tallest and longest gondola rides that the company ever produced for an amusement park, at 120 feet in the air.

The Southern Cross was a round trip to the future plot of The Great Southwest, which was just a large pile of dirt.

[8] The Old West Town featured 1800s-themed western-style retail stores and restaurants, as well as a saloon split across two sides of a single block.

It is a 227-foot tall Intamin drop tower, themed after an "Ore excavator" owned by the Loco Diablo Mining Company.

The couples were pronounced husband and wife just before they dropped, and the wedding ceremony was held in the Southwest Territory Amphitheater.

[17][18] In 2007, the theater's last major production came in the form of Operation SpyGirl, a stunt show created by Joel Surnow, co-creator of the TV series 24.
