Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.
I was wondering how long you go to get to SFGAm because it takes me about 1 and a half to 2 hours to get there from my house

45 minutes usually on weekends (although I have made it in less). Can take up to an hour or more during rush hour thanks to Half Day Rd.
I usually try to avoid going on days when I think Ill get stuck in traffic, or if im going on a Fright Fest Friday I leave really early to beat the traffic.
Go Bulls!

Somewhere between 35-45 minutes, depending on how fast I drive and the traffic.

Well, it's 65.7 miles and the speedlimit is 55 (but I always speed to 60 to make good time) , so that should be 67 min and 42 seconds, but something always goes wrong and I'm just a few seconds off
.
Acually, it depends, I made it there in 41 min last saturday (by far a record). Normally about an hour and a half.
Edit: I know, that averages out to be around 90 mph. Wow..

45 mins is 45 mins whether you come from the north or south (unless you mean it would be longer if you came from the south
)

about 35 minutes or so from Evanston if I push 75 or 80mph, usually around 45 minutes if I'm in no hurry.

It's about 4 hours for me from Iowa City...I've made the trip 4 times this season and will total out about 12 trips this season not counting CoasterCon.
