It's when a company rents out the park.

A buy out is when a company buys out the park. Typically at Great America the first weekend the park is open is for a pair of buy outs, only open to employees of the company who buys out the park.

one of my friends from school is going....can you get tickets at the park or do you have to somehow be in connection with the company?

there private events, hence the company hosting the event is the only place to get tickets.

Few years ago I was able to go when Coke had bought out the park during Fright Fest, was the 2nd best day ive ever had there. max 5 minute wait for everything, fright fest theme, good weather.

If ya ever get a chance to go to a private event, I highly suggest you go ;)

I went to a buyout a few times when I had connections but it was crowded.

I will be there on the 24th (Saturday). This is the Advocate Healthcare buyout day.
I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.

I go twice a year. Because my friend is in connection with this stock trading company (Or something, i'm not sure.) It's dead! It's the best time! No wait is over five minutes! It's great!

I'm so happy they have a character show back in Theatre Royale. I can't wait to see it.

I went to that a few years ago (1999 and 2000) and it was crowded.

I went to one last year and it wasn't crowded, atleast for me. The only ride that was busy was Raging Bull. I don't expect the park to be too busy on Saturday, cause the weather won't be great. Who knows!

Most of the time the Buyouts end at 6pm. They are from 5pm to 11pm if they are on a weekday, but there is only one of those that I know of this year.

Oops, my bad! I thought they were all from 5-11 because i'm going to the board of trade buy out and it's from 5-11 so i just assumed they all were.
