The Great Chase is a family roller coaster at Six Flags New England in Agawam, Massachusetts. It stands in the Looney Tunes Movie Town area, and the park describes it as a beginner coaster with gentle dips and turns, themed to Looney Tunes bunnies escaping Yosemite Sam. The park gives its height as about 13 feet and its speed as about 12 mph, and riders must be at least 36 inches tall.
History
The coaster was built by E&F Miler Industries. RCDB lists it as a family coaster model with an outside spiral and a chain lift hill, running one train of six cars that seat two riders each, for 12 riders per train. It was first called Rolling Thunder, and Wikipedia says it replaced Little Rickie's Little Twister, the park's earlier kiddie coaster.
