Six Flags/Great America Express

[Dmrbug]

I don't need this service but just notice that Pace has a special bus for SFGAM and though I would pass it on for those who may need it.

Express Service from Schaumburg and Rosemont!

This is a very safe and convenient way to get to Six Flags. Passengers take an express ride from Northwest Transportation Center (NWTC) in Schaumburg or the CTA's Rosemont Station (for a connection to the CTA O’Hare Blue Line) direct to Six Flags in Gurnee. Avoid all the hassles and the need to pay for parking.

Sweet. You don't even have to pay for gas.

[playerplex]

Sound's interesting. But I would rather drive.

[playmateoftheyear2006]

Wait, isnt it 15 to park, well for one way its 7.50 X 2 = 15 dollars, so if you are going with more than yourself, its a waste unless its like you and 5 kids under 7, yippy, wouldnt that just be a fun filled day.

[Galvan]

^ Yeah but if your paying 3.00 a gallon for gas, your damn sure going to save a boat load of money.

[CoasterDude12-2]

Plus not everyone has a car, and people do come from the airport, and SFGAm is a good thing for toursits to do.

[Sireze]

that is true. I like it because if you are coming from Chicago and taking the train to Rosemont then transfer to the pace to Great America thats a good damn deal!

[raginbullrider]

sweet i wish they had one of those in oak lawn

^From Oak Lawn, you can take the bus from Chicago Ridge Mall to Midway. Take the Orange line and transfer to the blue line and head to O'Hare and catch that shuttle. That would cost you $4 to get to where you could catch the shuttle if your interested.

I think it was a smart idea to have a shuttle from O'hare. Most people who fly into Chicago and don't want to bother with the price of hotels downtown normally stay around the airport so it would be quick and easy to hit Great America. Also, O'hare is virtually connected to the entire Chicagoland area through metra and the CTA so it's very cheap and convieniant. I will definitely be trying this out, thanks for the info!

That's pretty cool, but I don't live all that far away so I don't need it. But it's definately a good idea for people who live farther.

Thats been going on for awhile. You usually arrive at the park close to 10:00am.

Does anyone know if theres a bus that goes to six flags from the blue line/metra that is running or will be on the opening days?

[LAFFfan4lyfe]

not a total waste, you pay for gas and parking to get there by car, you pay for just the ticket otherwise.

WHAT!!! I live 2 mins from the Rosemont CTA station. This is awesome!

It says that it doesn't start until June, so I doubt the shuttle will be running.

Yeah I was excited until I saw the start date . I wanted to go this sunday though, and I may or may not be able to drive there. So I was wondering if theres any other bus that goes from any train line to six flags. I swear there was a bus that went from a metra stop to six flags or something.
