Land Across I-94 From GA

[Galvan]

Okay, Time for a little venting session....First of all, what is this i keep on hearing about Six Flags Owning Land across I-94? and Second why is there always talk about.."SIx Flags adding a Giga Coaster across the street, They are building a Water park across the street, Six Flags is Building a Monorail Across I-94. blah blah blahCan someone please please clear up these misconceptions for me? Im tired of everyother threat saying "You know if they build across I-94 they can build a bridge,monorail,walkway across I-94.Please Help and maybe we can but this Rumor To Rest

They own land over there, they had a variance or something with the city to start building a water park until 2003 I guess. They didn't, but I'm sure they could easily get it renewed. If you know what to look for, I'm sure somewhere in Gurnee town hall meeting archives you could find something about it. The rest of it is just what people think they should/could do, or what they want it used for.

So then, this is true? GA owns this land across I-94? because i just seem to always read this somewhere.

[T_Biggs]

Didn't feel like looking for it... and... I forgot! *gasp!*

If they were to build anything it should be a new territory with a water park next to it.

Yes, this topic has been discussed numerous times and it is a fact that SF owns property on the west side of the tollway.If some of you are itching to see this land, here are some directions for you.1. Leave the SFGAm exit and go left on Grand Ave.2. Cross over the tollway and make a left at the first traffic light(which is across from Gurnee Mills entrance.3. Take that road to Cemetery Rd. and make a right.4. Take Cemetery down to the last side street on the left before Washington St. and make a left.5. Take this road(dont remember the name) until you reach a huge plot of land.6. That is the real estate that SF owns.Galvin. It is a fact that SF proposed a waterpark/convention center/hotel/employee housing for this land about 4 years ago. To this day it hasn't materialized.

Oh really, I thought it had materialized.

[Chitown]

O.K. If it has materialized, what have they done so far?Going before the Gurnee board 4 years ago proposing a waterpark wouldn't qualify as materialized.

hahaha, that was sarcastic... I was just kidding, I know it hasn't materialized
