About 2 and a half hours away in Green Bay, WI.
Made it 5 times to Great America in 3 trips last year. Hope I can do that again this year.
My 1st, 2 day trip, of the year on the weekend of the 21st. I'm hoping Joyfest doesn't fill the park too much. Empty parks are the best part of May trips.

You know your from the midwest if you give distance in terms of minutes
I am 246 miles away which is anywhere from 4hrs 15min to 5hrs 30min depending on traffic, tollway, and whether or not I have passengers with me. If its only me, I don't stop at all, makes for better time.
It's the most fun in the park when your laughing in the dark.

45 min normally. it can get up to or over an hour during rush hour, but Sunday I made it in 30 min. speed demon
I don't have a detonator; its on a timer.
A countdown timer?
No, a count-up timer. It goes from one to explode.
