Six Flags open world's tallest, steepest and fastest wooden roller coaster
By Jessica Jerreat Daredevils will be flocking to Gurnee in Illinois this summer for the chance to take on Goliath - the world's tallest, steepest, fastest roller coaster.
The latest attraction which opened at Six Flags Great America on Thursday is a wooden roller coaster that breaks three world records.
Those brave enough to take a ride on it will be plunged down a 180ft near-vertical drop, as the roller coaster twists and turns at speeds of up to 72mph.

Match drew an estimated TV audience of some 20 million people at home as pubs filled and nation came to standstill But, as often before, crowds were left disappointed as England are left praying for Italy to do them a big favour
By Christian Gysin and Leon Watson and Richard Spillett England fans were picking up the pieces this morning after their side's 2-1 defeat to Uruguay left their World Cup dreams in tatters.
After losing their opening game to Italy, the Three Lions are now rooted to the bottom of Group D following Liverpool striker Luis Suarez's two goals in Sao Paulo.
The party atmosphere around the country turned to gloom last night and supporters are now praying that Italy will win both of their final group games to give England a chance of progressing.
Wayne Rooney's wife Coleen and son Kai, four, had travelled to South America to support the star, but despite seeing him pick up his first ever World Cup goal, they and millions of other fans both in Brazil and back home were left disappointed.

Moments after the game Rooney's wife Coleen took to her Twitter account to say: 'Gutted with the score, but so pleased @WayneRooney scored and his boys were here to see it!!'
Many celebrities also turned the air blue on the social networking website when Suarez scored his late winner. TV presenter Philip Schofield tweeted: 'A***!!!!``Well I'm having a b****y drink!!! Damn damn damn and damn again.'
Chat show host Alan Carr messaged: 'S**t, s**t, s**t, s**t.' QPR midfielder and recent Question Time pundit Joey Barton tweeted: 'Got bullied tonight. Apart from one or two it's a team of f******.
TV fashion guru Gok Wan tweeted: 'B****y hell.' And Lord Sugar asked: 'Will Suarez be welcomed back by the English fans to UK at the start of the PL season.' Depending on the result involving Italy and Costa Rica today, England may now face the ignominy of playing what is effectively a meaningless 'dead rubber' game against Costa Rica on Tuesday next week.
Before kick-off, trouble flared when a group of innocent fans drinking at a bar in Sao Paulo were attacked by a hooded mob of thugs who threw Molotov cocktails, bottles and fireworks. It came after louts – many of them dressed in black - ripped up England flags outside a bar before the match. Police were called and swooped on the gang who immediately tried to flee the area before being rounded up. Early reports suggested that at least 10 England fans had to receive hospital treatment after the bar ambush.

The violence erupted at the Guanabara pub near the FIFA official Fan Festival area in Anhangabaú as a total of fourteen gang members were then arrested.
They are still being held in a Sao Paulo district police station. Photographs later emerged of some of the Brazilian gang members being rounded up and detained by officers. When police searched both their pockets and backpacks they found a number to be carrying an array of weapons – including knives, brass 'knuckle dusters', rockets, boxing mouth guards and a quantity of drugs. Eyewitnesses told how the gang first descended on the bar throwing Molotov cocktails and fireworks and one man said: 'One minute everything was peaceful and then this screaming mob came steaming down the street and targeted the bar. None of the English fans had done anything to deserve being picked on. 'We do get some hooligan problems in Brazil and these young guys just wanted to make a statement. It was all over in about five minutes. The guys being attacked tried to run back into the bar and close the door.'

The incident happened a few hours before England's crucial World Cup Group D clash against Uruguay in Sao Paulo. Further reports told that before arriving at the bar the Brazilian gang caused damage to a series of shops and a bus in the area as they tried to escape from chasing police officers. A spokesman for British police in Brazil to protect and help England supporters said: 'We are aware of an incident affecting fans around the area of the Fans Festival in Sao Paulo. We are working with the local authorities to establish the facts.' Thousands of England fans had descended on the city to watch the crucial 'Three Lions' match and most had a peaceful reception.
The Group D game was a 'do or die' game for both sides after both England and Uruguay lost their first tournament fixture last week.
England fans arriving in Sao Paulo were greeted by weather they would associate at home with winter – with overcast skies and persistent drizzle – before they faced a lengthy train or bus ride to the Corinthians Arena situated around 15 miles outside the city.

Steve Peters, a 35-year-old heating engineer from St Albans, Hertfordshire, was travelling with three friends and saw England's opening match defeat in Manaus but was upbeat about the chances for Roy Hodgson's side. He explained: 'The Italy game was a disappointment and we should have had a draw with the number of efforts we had on target.' Many England fans arrived at the 66,000 capacity ground more than three hours before the kick-off to attach a variety of St George flags and banners to walls and terracing inside the stadium. The match drew a TV audience of some 20 million at home and black market tickets for the game were being offered at more than £800.
With Uruguay a near neighbour of Brazil more than 25,000 Uruguayans were inside the stadium for the kick-off and police from both countries were keeping a watching brief on supporters gathering in the city's fan zone and outside the ground prior to kick off.

There had been concerns that rival fans might clash after the game if the result was a 'disaster' for either team – effectively ending their World Cup dreams and making their final group games next week meaningless in terms of qualification. England went into the game aware that they have never won against Uruguay in World Cup competition – losing 4-2 in 1954 and drawing 0-0 in 1966 when they went on to lift the trophy. Pubs and clubs were expected to enjoy a vast boost in profits as millions not watching the game at home set out with friends to cheer on the team in their local bars. There was expected to be a massive power surge at half time as almost 800,000 kettles were likely to be switched on as viewers enjoyed a half time cup of tea or coffee.

Figures revealed that British shoppers spent an extra 27.7m pounds on beer and cider during the first week of the World Cup compared to this time last year. Data shows both lager and cider sales were buoyant with more than 10 million extra litres of lager and 2.5 million extra litres of cider sold last week alone. There was also a 17 per cent increase in the sales of soft drinks as the World Cup party began while sales of nuts, crisps and snacks accounted for a further £3 million being spent in our supermarkets . Meanwhile, the nation got behind Roy Hodgson's team at the bookmakers with England's odds at Coral's cut to 20-1 from 25-1 to win the tournament. One confident customer in Wales laid a £10,000 bet on England to win the competition, while money has also been flooding in on them to beat Uruguay in their second game of the tournament where they were 11-10 favourites just four hours before kick-off. 'Considering the expectation on England has been at an all-time low it has not put punters off backing them to lift the trophy. The support is even outside of this country as shown with our customer in Wales who placed a £10,000 bet on them,' said Coral's John Hill.
