Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.
Yes, opening weekend (Apr. 29th-30th). This is "technically" preview weekend.

Hello All, So I went to opening day yesterday the 14th and it was over an hour wait to get into the park. Does anyone know what the problem is/was? The park was not even that crowded once you got in. Thank you,

They were not expecting the crowds that showed up. My guess it that they were very understaffed and today should have been better.

Honestly, whenever they finish painting. If I had to guess, it will be Mother's Day weekend, but take it like a grain of salt.

That preview week was supposed to be a buyout but the company cancelled thats why they replaced that empty gap for a preview week

eh, I didn't hear anything like that. Buyouts are still on for this coming weekend. I know this because I have family that attend the Advocate Buyout.

In case anyone cares, the Glow Race route changed! You aren't running in the parking lot for most of it anymore. Should be interesting running through HH.

Sorry to double post, but Eagle Update:
All exterior paint is done, some interior work still needs to be done, and both Red Trains are on the track!

Yes, but not for the public. It was Advocate Day (Buyout). I think tomorrow is too, but I might be wrong
