2010 opening day April 17th?

Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.

I hope the 4D attraction isn't UpCharge, as they offer a 3D theater, and the SSA for free. Meh.

pretty sure they only hold a single person or small group, so if it's not upcharge you better be ready for one hell of a line.

It is in fact April 24th.

But the discussion we were having was maybe the park is holding it's Private Events on April 17th-23rd.

I am hoping that there will be some major snow storm mid April :twisted:

That will make a fun opening day!

This year's Advocate day is the 17th!

WooHoo!

What is the parking situation like? Can you choose front or back lot or do they make everyone park in the front lot?

I think the private event has free parking in the front lot.

I'll be sure to pound this forum with construction updates and a PTR.

When you purchase tickets to these private events, it includes parking, so everyone will be parking in the front lot. They don't have separate pricing for these events for the lot.
I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.

Proving u can't get anywhere without mom & dad, my father just told me he will renew my 2009 pass and will pay my brother for gas to take me back and forth to the park opening day (weather permitted).

I'm excited about Advocate day! ;) I hope to take a few pics of progress on LittleDipper but sadly I'm not cool & can upload some pics here, sorry. Maybe I don't know. I'm just always on mobile. But nonetheless I'm excited 2days!

I'll be there as well. I'll be making a trip report similar to the 4-19-2008 I made.
