The flood and the crowds..

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

So I decided I that I might make the trip up to Great America on Sunday. Now I don't know what to expect, I mean I'm expecting it to be crowded! But at the sametime with the flood and all going on I don't know at all now what to do. Any thoughts? Or how's the weather supposed to be?

I wondered that too, but i think that flooding will deminish some crowds but, not enough to make it empty. After all it is a Sunday :) but then again i could be wrong. Last Saturday, i thought it was going to be empty (following the rain etc etc.) i was wrong. So who knows, good luck though :)

Well i'm supose to be going this sunday with my cousin and possibly 2 of my friends. I personaly dont really care what the crowds will be like because of my cousin. But has any of the flooding reached the park or anything? I'm still really confused on that one.

I am not too worried about the crowds.

Does anybody know if the Rt. 132 East exit off of I-94 has been reopened? Did it ever close?

Best of wishes to all those whom are beginning (or will be soon beginning) the clean up process in Gurnee.

No Grand Ave. never closed the flooding was by Washington Street, and that entrance hasn't been open in some time now.

I called six flags and the recording said the floodings did not affect sfgam at all. And im going on friday and monday. Are fridays in may usually empty. And I might go saturday. I think that there will be a few less people there because they think the park is flooded. Also how are the lines on memorial day usually. Hopefully rc and kc will be open this weekend!!

Yeah, its only open for exit I should have said that, it's just so there isn't lots of back ups on Grand.
