GURNEE, Ill. - Six Flags Great America is giving one of its most iconic roller coasters a major refresh.

What we know:

The theme park in north suburban Gurnee announced Monday that Raging Bull will temporarily close for a full repaint, with its final day of operation set for next Monday, Aug. 18.

Raging Bull, a fan-favorite since it opened in 1999, is known for its massive drops, high speeds and smooth, twisting turns.

No reopening date has been announced yet.

Another fun ride

Even with the Bull shutting down, you can always check out Wrath of Rakshasa. The 180-foot-tall dive coaster debuted this summer and features a 171-foot drop at a 96-degree angle—the steepest on any dive coaster. It includes five inversions and reaches speeds up to 67 mph.
