Six Flags Magic Mountain in California has the most with 20 followed by Energylandia in Poland with 19, Canada's Wonderland with 17, and Cedar Point in Ohio with 16. In the article, they say this about Six Flags Great America...

"Highlights include Goliath, which earned the distinction of being the world's fastest, tallest, and steepest wooden coaster when it debuted in 2014 (and is the ride that ranks among our top-10 best). Other notable rides include X-Flight, a wild "wing" coaster, the impulse coaster, Vertical Velocity, and the delightful wooden kiddie coaster, Little Dipper."

I grew up going to Six Flags Great America and just took for granted that it had so many roller coasters (I figured every theme park had that many coasters). If you haven't been to Six Flags Great America it really is worth the trip, make it a part of your summer trip to Chicago, you don't need more than a day there in my opinion unless you're trying to ride every ride. I am not a huge roller coaster fan and even I love going to Great America, there is a lot more to do there than just the roller coasters!
