Two years before Raging Bull terrorized the Chicagoland area, Anton Schwarzkopf came out of retirement to work on one last project. Opening as the world's tallest, fastest, and longest roller coaster, Mechanic Monster towers 26 stories over East Chicago's industrious Grand Calumet River and continues to thrill riders to this day. With amazing capacity, this coaster guarantees lots of opportunities for thrill.
